Resizing images
How to change the size of an image...
There are two ways to resize an image in Notanant, firstly by resizing when you first upload an image (via the drop-down menu) and secondly by resizing an image already in the system.
To do this navigate to the image library and pick an image to resize, remember that if you hover over an image you can see it's current size. To the right there will be a link to resize the image, click this to go to the resizing page.
On the image resize page you are shown the image title and current size, simply enter in the new size and press submit. If you would like the image to scale and stay in proportion choose 'maintain aspect ratio'. You can just change one axis if easier, for example if an image is 320px in width you could just change this to 200px width and the height would be automatically calculated and adjusted for you.
When you resize an image the original stays the same and a new copy is made at the requested size, this means that it has a new thumbnail in the library and a new code, you can hover over the thumbnail to check which is which. If you already had the image on a page you will need to copy the new code to the page to get the changed size.
So there are two key points to remember:
- You can only scale to a smaller size
- A new code is created, any old codes on pages will need replacing
(all resized image will be converted to JPEG format)
