Guide to Image Sizes

Notes about working with images:

  • The ideal program to resize images for the web is Photoshop.
  • If your image is too wide, the CMS will automatically resize it to fit within the space. For example, the full width image below has the actual dimensions to span the entire width of this page. However the CMS, has automatically scaled it to fit within the layout.
  • See our page for how to add images to a webpage: Photos & Graphics
  • See this page for more information about he "hero" images: Hero Photos
