Images are automatically cropped in the 16:9 ratio.
If you want to preserve the image's proportions, you must check Preserve the aspect ratio of the image. (NB: This setting is only possible in the media module. In other modules, images will be displayed in 16:9 format.)
It is optional whether you want to fill in the Caption field.
Image sizes
The standard size of all images on DTU sites is: 1920 x 1080 pixels
It corresponds to the aspect ratio 16:9
If you only have access to images in a smaller size, it can be used as long as the image is cropped in the 16:9 ratio. However, you should always use images as close to 1920 x 1080 as possible.
Tip: Are you missing a picture?
You can find images for your website in Skyfish or in Colourbox.
