Image Cropping in Purple Hub

Purple Hub

This guide describes how to use the Crop feature in the Media Gallery to control the size and focus of images in your library in Purple Hub. You will learn how to crop and set focal points in your Media Library to ensure that only the necessary parts of the image are displayed at different sizes.

When you navigate to the Media Library and select an image, you will see a preview of the images on the left at the different sizes you have defined in the cropping settings (e.g. Thumbnail, Medium, Large, etc.).

You can manually adjust the cropped area by selecting an area of the picture. For example, if there's a part of the image you don't want to see, you can remove it by adjusting the crop box. Instead of the full image, only the cropped version of the image will be published.

If you want to emphasise a particular part of the image, you can set a focal point. Simply move the focal point around the image and the crop will automatically update at all sizes.

Once you have set the crop and/or focal point, you can preview how the image will look at different sizes before publishing by clicking on the preview images on the left.
