Image Dimensions in Rise

I am also having trouble with images chopping within the gallery frames. No matter what device or what format (landscape or portrait, the frame chops off part of the image. If I knew two aspect rations (one for landscape and one for portrait), I think I could figure out how to size images so that they look like they fit into the frames.

Aha! When previewing one of your images on all the available devices, the images don't appear to change aspect ratio, just size. The boundaries are the same boundaries; the same information is available no matter the device. I just need to know the correct aspect ratio.

Hi Kate, 

Within the Gallery in Rise you'll find it's a 1x1 aspect ratio, and when you click on the image it will be displayed full size.  

Hope that helps! 

Generally, here's the advice I give for the Rise workshops:

• I try to keep in images at either 1x1 or 16:9. Some blocks like the image grids, display 1x1 but when clicked will open to the full image. 16x9 helps keep it consistent looking.
• All image blocks scale the image except the images with text on them. I consider those decorative images and they will crop as noted above. 
• Here's a doc I created with some tips on the blocks and the settings/media they support.
• A blog post that explains how I created the flashcards in a demo so I had text on image.

Is there any way to enlarge the small circular image in a "quote carousel block" in Rise?

Hi there Tina!

While there isn't a way to increase the size of the circular image in a Quote Carousel Block, you may want to explore using a Process Block instead?

A Process Block has much larger images, and you can set it up to function similarly to a Quote Carousel. Here's a sample of what that could look like! 

Hi. I am having image issues using the Gallery block and the three or four column grids. Images used to shrink down to the proper size to view the whole image and then zoom when clicked for the full view.

Over the last few months images have automatically zoomed to much larger than their actual resolution which cuts off the image. When you hover over and click to zoom the whole image appears at its proper size. 

I am attaching two screenshots. 

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing with the Gallery Block and for including those pictures.

Be sure that you're using the highest quality images for your Rise course for the best result.

For this particular block, I would recommend using images that are square in size to prevent the zooming effect that you are seeing.

Check out how they look different based on the shape of the image:

The latter picture is created with some space around the image to generate a square like this:

Hope that helps :)

Thanks Leslie.

That is semi-helpful. The gallery blocks didn't used to behave this way. I have older courses that automatically sized the images properly without have to resize the image with additional space on the sides.

Resizing also isn't possible when using images from the Content Library. It makes the content library pretty much unusable in those blocks. 

Is this issue currently being worked? 

Thanks for that feedback Jamie.

The 1:1 aspect ratio is how the gallery blocks were designed and if the images used are a different ratio, the full size will be displayed when zoomed in. I know Tom shared some best practices about this above.

I do understand your point about the Content Library images, so I will be sure to share this with my team so we can keep a pulse on this.
