I'd like to be able to do simple resizing of the images within the page editor.
I've taken screenshots from my mobile , I uploaded them to OneDrive, copied them to SharePoint and then added them to the page. The images on the displayed on the page actually are are actually larger (considerably) than my mobile handset.
I'm working on a 15inch laptop , and the primary experience for the page will be that which is displayed on a device with a similar screen size. however the mobile screenshot does not appear entirely on one screen. It scrolls across 1.5 pages at least.
I'd like to have more control over how the images display on the page. i seem to be able to crop the image but that is not what I want to do for a screenshot.
The aspect ratio options don't seem to be working for me either.
Any suggestions ? or do I need to shrink the original screenshot images outside of SharePoint before adding them to a page. I note that when I open the images in "photos" the image display is about 70% of the size when I add it to the SharePoint page. So part of my issue is that SharePoint is deciding to enlarge the images.
Perhaps this is because i am selecting to display the image in a single section.. and this relates to "sections" on the page rather than the images.. However it doesn't make sense to me to arrange the page in a different way other than:
1) text about the image to follow
2)image
3) text about the next image to follow etc.
The phrase "a picture tells a thousand words" could be appropriate here.. If I select a 2 column design with the image and the text, i end up with the image and then a small amount of text in the column alongside. The text column has way too much whitespace.. because the picture is telling the "1000 words" i don't need to supply the text that would fill the column alongside the article.
