I need to create a LOT of courses in Rise for a new curriculum. I often struggle to find the perfect size images for the Rise full image or text on image blocks. Any advice? I'm not an image edit expert by any means, so the simpler, the better!
Full width images crop because they sit in a container that has a fixed height. So when you make the image full width, it will crop outside of the container.
Tip: use the labeled graphic
Insert a labeled graphic interaction
get rid of all markers
set it to full width
The interaction is designed to show the entire image, so it won't crop when at full width.
When using the "Center Image" option, you can't control the display size of the picture. The lack of control on image sizing has been a frustration.
I used your amazing tip to insert an interactive image and select the "small" display size option.
It seems (I know, lots of assumptions) that this would be a good addition as a new block in the image menu. Call it something else (or replace the existing choice of Center Image), and remove markers.
Or just add some additional image sizing options to Center Image like Rise has in this block.

I have the same issue especially with thin full width images as they keep cropping. Do you have any recommendations for them?

This is a great tip Tom.
