Image Folders

Folders group and organize images in Good Gallery. Select any Folder to edit image and folder characteristics. This page covers folder-specific tools and settings.

Square Area

The Square Area tool defines the preferred crop area for square thumbnails. Square thumbnail images are displayed when the Thumbnails Aspect Ratio is defined as 1:1 ratio (square).

The Square Area for every image is assigned automatically using the center of the image as the square origin. The square expands from the center until it meets the longest edge of the image.

When Square Area settings are modified, original images are cropped again and resized. Changes to the Square Area will not be visible until the cropping and resizing process is complete.

Drag the box corners to change the size of the crop or move the entire box to define the most important image areas.

To define the Square Area:

1. Sign in to your Good Gallery administrator account.
2. Hover your cursor over the Images menu.
3. Under the Your Folder menu heading, choose the preferred folder.
4. Select the appropriate images. Images can be selected individually or in groups using CTRL or SHIFT keys.
5. Click the Square Area button.
6. Define the visible area for square thumbnails.
7. Click the Save Changes button.

Focal Area

The Focal Area tool defines image areas that should be visible when images are dynamically cropped in visitor browsers. In other words, when images fill the display area, the focal area is favored and rarely hidden.

This functionality is applied to:

• Images displayed in Gallery Pages
• Thumbnails displayed on Gallery Pages
• Thumbnails displayed on Visual Menu Pages

Gallery Pages

For Gallery Pages, this feature defines the most important Gallery Page image areas. When the Gallery Image Padding Mode setting is set to full (Site > Gallery Pages > Gallery Image Padding Mode), the image fills the entire available area assuming the original image dimensions are large enough.

Visual Menu Pages

For Visual Menu Pages, this feature defines the focal area for Visual Menu Page thumbnails so important image content is not hidden when thumbnail image aspect ratios change based on the visitor's browser viewport size.

Setting the Focal Area

After choosing the Set Focal Area button, move the default focal area select box over the most important image area. Although you can also manually define a free-form focal area, use the default focal area select box for best results.

Note: You may need to experiment with several focal area select box positions to achieve the desired effect.

To define the Focal Area:

1. Sign in to your Good Gallery administrator account.
2. Hover your cursor over the Images menu.
3. Under the Your Folder menu heading, choose the preferred folder.
4. Select the appropriate images. Images can be selected individually or in groups using CTRL or SHIFT keys.
5. Click the Focal Area button.
6. Click the Set Focal Area button.
7. Move the default Focal Area selection box over the most important image area.
8. Click the Save Changes button.
