Image Sizing

Image Sizing refers to the ability of Scene7 to create multiple derivative images based on a single high-resolution image. Rather than manually creating several images­—for example, a thumbnail and enlarged-view image—for your website or application, you provide a single master image. Scene7 generates all modified images just as you request them. Being able to deliver images dynamically from a single master image has many advantages:

  • You do not have to manually create several copies of the image at different sizes. You supply one master image to Scene7, and Scene7 generates different-sized derivatives from the master image.

  • You can quickly change the size of an image type throughout your website or application. For example, to change all thumbnail images, you can modify the “thumbnail” Image Preset. An Image Preset—it’s similar to a macro—is a collection of size and formatting attributes. You can modify the “thumbnail” Image Preset to change the size of all thumbnail images throughout your website or application.

  • You do not have to manage the masters and all of the various derivatives in any of your content or asset management systems internally or externally.
