OpenAsset automatically resizes images and allows you to export them in a variety of ways. Image sizes allows you to define the parameters of images which will be made available to users. Access rights can be set for individual image sizes (see image size permissions).
Note: creating new image sizes or editing existing sizes will only effect files added to your system from that point onwards. To apply these changes retroactively, contact the Support Team to discuss reprocessing your image sizes.
View Image Sizes Used in Your System
You can access your Image Sizes from the Settings menu. Navigate to 'Files' then 'Image Sizes'.
From the following page you can view and manage the Image Sizes used in your OpenAsset system.
Create a New Image Size
To create a new image size, click on the 'New Image Size' button. The following parameters can be defined:
