Image cropping

Automated Cropping

If no crop is configured in the image component, the system automatically finds the best appropriate rendition in the DAM.
Renditions for standard aspect ratios are automatically created for each uploaded image, starting with the maximum 16:9 area of the centered original and downscaling it to the appropriate size.

The crop is defined in the component for Component Cropping Overlay. Cropping coordinates are applied to the orginal image and a virtual rendition is created - no DAM renditions are overwritten in the CRX back-end.
The virtual rendition is created automatically, once during its first access and is cached by the AEM dispatcher.
The width of the virtual rendition must be at least 2560 pixels, which is the breakpoint/lower bound of the biggest viewport, 75% of the example image.
If not, a "not enough renditions matching media formats" warning will be displayed in edit mode and the component will not be rendered. Edit or clear the image to set the correct cropping.
If the "Invalid" asset error is shown, the image doesn't meet the minumum width requirements. To safely meet all breakpoint reqirements upload images that are 5,000 pixels wide.
