Adding or Changing an Image Focal Point
At Hail we know the added impact that great photography can bring to your content. Images are used in different areas on Hail and aren't always used in the same shape or size, so making sure Hail knows where to focus on your image, is essential.
Hail will attempt to automatically find a face in your image and choose a focal point which is used to centre the image across all publications and website pages. It's important to check the focal point to make sure the right person or right part of image is prominent in Hail content.
For example, if you used a carefully composed landscape with a majestic albatross soaring across the sky in the top-left third of the frame, that focal point could have been cropped out of the design.
How to edit/add a focal point
- Go to your media library and edit the image:
- Click on the little edit pencil and your image will open up for you to select the focal point:
- Click on the image and a highlight circle will appear where you click, this will be the spot you have chosen as you focal point.
