Editing an Image

While in iAPPS, you can perform basic edits to your images, such as resizing, cropping or rotating the image.

You may also want to edit the Image Properties (such as description or alt-text). This is done separately. See "Viewing and Editing Image Properties"

Content Manager provides you with the following options for editing an image:

• Crop
• Rotate left or right
• Flip vertically or horizontally
• Resize

You can edit images either from a Site Editor Image container or in the Images Library.

1. Click the Edit Icon on an image container and select Edit Image. (Note: you will not be able to edit an image that is within a free text container. Instead go to the Images Library and edit it there.

From the Images Library (Manage Site Assets > Libraries > Images)

1. Highlight an image in the image list in the right pane and click Edit.

An Edit Image dialog appears:

Choose any of the options below to edit your image.

To Rotate or Flip:

1. Rotate or flip the image as desired by selecting the appropriate button.

To Crop:

1. Drag the handles to crop the image and then press Crop Image.

To Resize by an exact width and height:

1. Enter number of pixels in width and height fields.

To Resize in Proportion:

If you wish to have the picture proportions constrained by specified width or height (i.e. changing one size will automatically change the size of the other axis in proportion):

1. Choose either Width or Height in the Constrain drop-down.
2. Enter a number of pixels in either Width or Height depending on your drop-down choice.
3. The image will resize in proportion.

To cancel changes and keep the Image Editor open:

1. Click Reset Original Image button. Content Manager discards changes and keeps the image open in the editor.

To cancel changes and return to Site Editor or the Images Library:

1. Click Close.

To save changes under the file's existing name:

1. Click Save.

1. A dialog appears prompting you to confirm.
2. Click OK.
   Content Manager overwrites the existing image file to reflect edits and closes the image editor.

To save changes under a new name:

1. Click Save As.
   A Select Directory dialog box appears.
2. Enter a title for the new image in the text field at the top of the dialog.
3. Navigate to and highlight the directory in which to store the image.
4. Click Save.
   Content Manager saves the edits to a new image file with the specified title in the Images Library and closes the image editor.

Note that if you choose Save As and the image is used on multiple pages, the image will not change on other pages. If you click Save and overwrite the existing image, the image will change on any page where it is used.
