Does anyone have suggestions about the best format to use when adding images to Rise and what is the minimum size I can use without them degrading? I have found that a lot of the images I have become clipped and lose clarity when I add them.
We have some general best practices in regards to images and other media documented here, but if you feel you've adhered to those and are still running into an issue we'd want to take a look at your image file and the Rise course in question - you're welcome to send those along to our Support Engineers here!
Thanks, Ashley. Would you wonderful people at Articulate clarify what ratio we should be using for images full width? I render my own, so I can set it to whatever works best. Rise is so amazing and easy that I don't mind being compliant with best practice. Right now I am getting a lot of compression artifacts when I upload an image that is at a banner ratio. But if I use a regular 4:3 ratio, my Genie's head gets cut off. :-(.
Great question! Rise doesn't cap image height, but image width is capped at 1680 pixels in your published output. You can import images larger than 1680 px wide and let Rise optimize them at 1680 px. In fact, we recommend using the highest quality images possible and letting Rise optimize them for web delivery—with virtually no loss of quality. See this article for more info.
Unfortunately even large-format images , when downscaled, look not so good in Rise. This is the example of fragment of original PNG image vs. uploaded one. There is a remarkable loss of quality. Is this possible to overcome?
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.

Brilliant, thanks Ashley, that helps.
No problem Pam - and let us know if you need anything else!

Many thanks!
Hi Irina,
It looks like I also responded over here!
I'll keep you posted and let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi everyone!

I was wondering if the location of this code ( _NOPROCESS_ ) in the title matters?
Can you please clarify?
Thanks
Hi Rob,
It should make no difference where _NOPROCESS_ appears in the file name.
Hi Rob! Karl is spot on. An image file called picture.png could be renamed to picture_NOPROCESS_.png. I hope that helps!
