Introduction

The image element is used in all components that allow basic image editing. Its main purpose is the ability to crop the image in order to produce the desired image sector to be displayed. This is important as the GEM guideline how to use images states, that every image shall only be uploaded once to the DAM and then, depending on where it is used, be cropped accordingly.

The element is available as a separate tab in the following components:

tab: Image

Editorial hint:

Image renditions

It is recommended to only upload one rendition per image. This image must be in a sufficient resolution in order to be added to any available component. In the component's image tab, it can then be cropped in order to display the desired image area. Therefore, it is recommended to upload all images with a minimum dimension of 570px x 380px if not used in components, that can display wider images. So an image that serves all components would have a dimension of 1600px x 1000px.
