Labeled Graphic Size and Quality
I'm using a screenshot of a menu as a labeled graphic. The image is 366x478. Even on a monitor set to display 1080p, it's a decent size, legible and would be fine in a web browser.
The problem I am having, however is that when i insert it as a labeled graphic and set the image width to "small" it blows the image up to about 760x980 and it looks awful. I've tried adjusting the compression on the image, changing the dpi and several other things but no matter what, Rise just butchers it and makes it not presentable.
Is there any way to control the size the image displays at other than "small," "medium," and "Full width" (Don't even get me started on what Full Width does to images....)
I get that Rise is mean to be responsive but it should not prioritize responsiveness over quality.

Thanks for sharing your solution, Kevin! We'll post updates here as we get new information on this issue.

Also facing this issue and would like for it to be prioritised.

Safety glasses on....
This is currently not the only issue I've raised with Articulate where the response is basically "we're looking at it, we'll prioritize it and let you know."
It's also not the only issue where either the product should just show the media back in the same condition as it was given or should behave the same if you use method A or method B (a block or a marker in labeled graphic)
When inquiring about our other open issue (it's been about the same time frame) I just got back an email stating how helpful it was for Articulate to understand how many folks are experiencing the issue and how often....a straight-up canned response. Of COURSE my team is experiencing it...WE reported it!!!Beyond frustrated at this point. I shouldn't have to have such workarounds for issues this simple and I shouldn't have to beg for updates 4 - 6 months after reporting issues only to be given canned responses that offer me no actual updates.

Appears this has been going on for a long time....2 years???
If we put an image into Rise, we expect to get the EXACT SAME image back out of Rise.

This is so far beyond not acceptable. When a thread has 145 replies to it over 2 years, it's obvious that this is something that the customers...paying customers...want to be addressed.

Been having this issue for month's this really need to be sorted sooner rather than later. Putting an image in with a lot of white space defeats the purpose..
We are using Rise to create E-Learning content on a huge scale so waiting 2 years isn't helpful at all.
Hi everyone!
Do you have an image that looks blurry in Rise 360? We've designed a workaround to keep your images looking crystal clear.
If you'd like an image to keep its specific file format and not undergo compression, you can opt-out of image optimization on a case-by-case basis. Add _NOPROCESS_ to the name of your image file. It'll upload and display exactly as you saved it. Keep in mind that the 5GB file size limit still applies, and you could see an increase in your output file size.

Hi Crystal,
Just spotted this and it has done the trick for the blurry images I was experiencing when uploading into Rise, I was just about to post about the issue I was having, glad I did a search in the community first!
cheers
Gerry
I'm happy you found what you needed, Gerry!

Thank you very much Crystal this was extremely helpful :)

How does this workaround help if you have a small image that you want to keep at the smaller size for quality integrity?
Hi, Nikola. The workaround to opt-out of image optimization helps with images that appear blurry, but it doesn't resolve the issue with small labeled graphic images being scaled up. I'm sorry, as I know that issue is still impacting folks.
As soon as I can share an update on that behavior, I will!

Hi Crystal, has there been any resolution to this sizing issue. Im trying to add a labeled graphic and it just keeps resizing as opposed to keeping its original size.
Thanks

Is there ANY update on this? I have a small image that needs to look good and it does not. If the software company that I work for had a bug for over two years, heads would roll.
Hi Scott. I hear you. I'm sorry that I don't have an update for you, and I'll post here when we do.

Tagging onto this for the blurry issue, +1 more related.
I too am encountering resolution issues. I'm trying to get the interactive Labeled Graphic block and the following Image - Centered images to be the same size, and none of the defaults for either block allow for this. None of the setting combinations between the two produce matching (consistent) sizes, despite uploading at the same size. When these are in line one after the other, it looks awful, frankly.I used Kevin Martin's workaround of adding white space (thank you!) and after spending time doing a lot of trial and error between photoshop and Rise finally found the size that fits. Unfortunately going to preview in anything portrait mode results in the white space making the interactive image now smaller than the others, and we're back to the same problem. It's the lesser of the evils, so I'm going with it for now, but I'd love to see a real fix for these issues.
Thanks!
Hey Linda,
It sounds like you'd like to have more control over image sizes in the Labeled Graphic block. I'll be sure to let our team know about your request.
Regarding the bluriness issue, try adding
_NOPROCESS_
to the name of your image file to prevent image compression. The image will upload and display exactly as you saved it.Let me know if that results in a clearer image.

I tried this, and sadly, no improvement.
