I may have missed something but is it at all possible to have a labeled graphic as a block item? I'd like to top and tail the labeled graphic with some explanatory text & references, which don't warrant a separate lesson. Any ideas on if / how this can be achieved?
Looks like the cat is out of the bag! 😸 I’m excited to officially share that the Rise Labeled Graphic block has arrived. Check it out here, and you can also review this article for ways to get started with this new feature.
Any way, aside from the width control, to adjust the size of pics used in a Rise graphic block? pics that are tall (portrait) are coming out way to big.
Have you tried checking out the 'settings' tab and then going to 'image width' There are 3 options, the smallest is about the size of an natural file embed, which works well for me.
In the sample course I have shared, see the difference between the two pics. The Evinrude engine is way to big vis-a-vis the other image (both are set to a small image width.
Thanks for sharing a link to the course. I am curious about the original dimensions of your second image, and if there is some additional whitespace around the image?
You'll see I did a quick test with the image widths here:
If you wanted to share your image here, I'm also happy to take a look.
Hi there, William. Looks like my teammate, Ashley, beat me to it ☺️
We'd love to dive deeper into this! Are you able to share the original image files with us here?
Pro-tip in the meantime: Rise courses are fully responsive, so images may have different dimensions as they adapt to different devices and orientations. Best practices for using images in Rise here!
The problem appears to be that Rise only allows for width control, not height control. So images in portrait view, that are naturally tall, are scaled to the max width per width setting (small, medium, full), which can make them super tall as in my case.
I understand width control. I am asking about height control for naturally tall/thin images. I have attached the image. I'll be curious to see if you can get it shorter with the current Rise controls. Thanks!
I figured it out. Not sure why it took me so long. To make tall images scale properly using the Rise width control, I simply have to make them wider. To do this I threw the image into a PowerPoint slide and saved the entire slide as an image. Done.
Thanks for the help! Hopefully this solution for tall images helps others.

Thx, Sean. I have. All images are set to the small image width. See the sample course I shared below.
