Manage images

The following options are available for each image:

Crop an image

If necessary, select the Crop the image icon to crop the image. During cropping, the optimal 16:9 aspect ratio is automatically maintained to ensure the image is properly displayed on the public website.

Create the caption

In the Caption box, create the image caption. On the public website, this is visible below the image when a visitor opens it in fullscreen. The image Title is pre-filled by default.

The following information is not visible on the public website but might help you formulate the Caption:

• (A): Image Metadata
• (B): The internal image description

If necessary, hit Restore to default to return the Caption to its default state (the image Title).

Change the position

Use the drop-down menu in the bottom-left corner to set the position of each image. For example, if you select 1, the image is displayed first.
