    Default Problem with photo main web page to variant page

    I have a photo that displays on the main page OK but when I change to the variant it doesn't reduce the photo it cuts the right side of the photo off. what do I have to do to have the photo on the variant reduced not cut in half?

    wallace, make it smaller and fit onto the Variant design page. The Share with variants option just clones the image; you have to decide what to do with it.

    Hi, Wallace.
    If you've named the image, make sure the image in the second variant has a unique name.

    This id dependent on the version of Xara you are using. It's no longer required in v17 as just naming the image via Web Properties/Image/Image Filename (example 'rose') when resized in a variant Xara now appends a number, so for example the main variant would be named 'rose.jpg' the next sized variant it would be 'rose1.jpg' etc depending on the number of variants you create.

    It is true if you use the older filename=rose method.

    I think the OP has Web Designer 16. I can't be sure but I believe the new naming method was introduced in v16.

    Thanks for the information! I'm only now using v17, so it's good to know.
