Getting Started

Create a new template variable

Once Image+ is installed, you can create template variables [TV] in the usual way, but instead of setting the Input Type in the Input Options to Image, choose Image+ instead.

For most use cases, you should also set the Output Type in the Output Options to Image+. This allows you to control the image output on a resource.

The cropping tool

When using an Image+ TV, you can select an image in the same way as you would with a regular Image TV. Once an image is selected, a cropping window will appear where you can select the area of the image to use. The original image is not changed. So you can upload a single image and reuse it in multiple places on the website at different sizes (and crops with multiple Image+ TVs).

If you want to change the cropping area, you need to click the crop trigger of the Image+ TV.

In the cropping window you need to drag the handles of the dotted box to change the cropping area. If the TV has been configured with size constraints or an aspect ratio, the cropping area will be limited to that aspect ratio.
