Image Options


The media library has been reconfigured in SiteManager 4.0 so that when an image is uploaded, several versions of varying sizes are automatically generated. This allows for optimal display across devices and accommodates "responsive design."
  • You can upload a photo and crop the image in SiteManager (no need for Photoshop).
  • You will be alerted if the image is not large enough to use in a particular module (see minimum requirements for each module below). Note: Do not edit the image in Photoshop to increase the pixel dimensions. 
  • The image will automatically crop to the correct aspect ratios (1:1, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3 and 16:9) for the module. You can move the crop tool around to edit each of the crops before proceeding with placement in the module. You can always go back into the Media Library to adjust how the original version of the photo is cropped.
  • You can adjust the size of your browser widow to see how the size of the image changes at different screen widths.
