CELUM Content offers you various options to edit image-type assets before downloading them in a selected download format.
Select an image-type asset in the Explore view.
Right-click to open the context menu and select the "
Edit image" menu item.
The "Edit image" menu item will be visible if you have permission to use at least one download format that has the image editing option enabled.
An image editor overlay opens where you can edit your image before download.
First, choose a target format in the top right corner of the image editor. The target format determines which modifications you can make on your image.
In the drop-down menu you can see only those download formats that are enabled for the Image Editor. This configuration is done by a power-user.
Original Format: The image won't be converted to a different file type. Instead, it will be downloaded in its original file type (e.g. as a PNG or JPG image).
"Original Format" is only supported for assets with the following file types: BMP, JPG, JPE, JPEG, JPX, JFIF, PNG, TIF and TIFF.
Other formats (e.g. "PNG" or "JPG") convert the image to the target format during download.
After you've chosen the target format, make your adjustments
in the header bar:
Choose a predefined format: Use the “Predefined” drop-down menu to select a resolution or ratio value for the crop box size. The selected image will be cropped to the chosen size or ratio. If defined for a specific format, you can get additional information about it by hovering your mouse over it.
If configured for a specific format, you can get more information about it by hovering your mouse over it.
As a power user, you can define a list of image sizes and dimension ratios available as options in the drop-down menu. You can find information on how to do that in the Administrator Guide in the Customer Knowledge Base (requires login).
Crop an image: The crop box dimensions can be specified in resolution (px, mm) or ratio values for width and height. You can resize the crop box in two ways:
Drag the cropping handles on either side or in the corners of the image.
For more precision, use the dimension (width and height) and ratio fields in the toolbar.
You can link the resolution values to a specific aspect
ratio by clicking the chain icon ().
This enables you to crop the image proportionally to the
specified ratio.
Rotate an image: Use the "rotate left" and "rotate right" icons in the edit bar to rotate the image 90 degrees in the respective directions.
Flip an image: Choose between flipping an image vertically or horizontally.
Optionally, click on the "Colorspace" icon next to the download format drop-down menu to select
a color space.
Depending on the image format of the asset, the selection of colorspaces may vary. The "Original" color space is preselected and always available.
Click the download button to download the edited image.
To restore the image to its original state, click the "Reset" button.
Once you close the image editor overlay, the image will be restored to its original state. The changes you made are not stored.
