PWT Image 1.1.0 released - Introducing image profiles

Tuesday, 01 May 2018

We are pleased to announce the availability of PWT Image 1.1.0. In this version we're introducing Image Profiles. Via the profiles you can easily setup multple PWT Image configurations and assign them to specific User Groups and/or image field locations.

In this way you can force for example a square "Intro Image" for your articles that will be resized to 500 pixels. For the "Full Image" field of articles you can setup a profile that resizes images to 1000 pixels width with an aspect ratio of 16:9. Or any other ratio and size you prefer! Have a look at the screenshots below for an impression of the new profiles feature.
