Editing Images

At the bottom of the image field in an image content item is an Edit button:

Clicking on this button displays a set of image editing tools:

There are three groups of editing controls which you can use for rotation, cropping and enhancement. Any changes you make using these functions are not finally applied to the image in the Escenic database until you save the content item by clicking on the Save button at the bottom of the content editor tab.

If the Image dimensions in the Image edit controls tab are displayed in red and followed by the warning (too large), you will not be able to edit the displayed image, as it is too large to be loaded into memory. Should this happen, report the problem to your system administrator. The problem can be fixed by modifying a setting in the StudioConfig.properties file on the Content Engine host. For details see Memory Settings.

An image content item may also contain a "image versions" field containing alternative, cropped versions of the same image. This field is often called something like "Versions", "Image versions" or "Alternatives". If an image content item contains this kind of field then you can modify the image versions it contains.

For further information about image version fields, see Alternative Image Versions.
