Best practices for using image variants

Here are a few best practices to keep in mind when working with image variants and focal points:

• Work with your administrators to ensure the right variant dimensions are in place before you begin your project.
• If there are any team/company-wide requirements, stick to them.
• Make use of AIRA’s automated focal point detection to keep the image cropping consistent and automated.
  
• Rely on manual cropping only when you need precise control.
  
• Always preview your image variants before publishing.
  
• If you need an image that cannot be in any way adjusted, cropped or focused, e.g., for legal or copyright reasons, store it as a restricted image content type.
• Share optimized images and variants via URL in just a few clicks.
