One request said the upper part of a building photograph was cropped and asked to show the whole image. A later request asked to remove dark bands above and below the opening background and fill its space from the center. Combining those requests into one universal sizing rule would make one view wrong again. The images occupied different places and answered different visitor questions.
The shared repair notes retain a filling rule for the opening background and a whole-composition rule for the lower building photograph. Plans and maps form another category of factual material. I stopped grouping them merely by image format and instead chose the fit according to the material’s role and its display area.
An opening background changes with the screen ratio
The source uses cover with a centered position for the opening background. That fills the region as its ratio changes, with the possibility that some edges are cropped. Using it responsibly requires knowing where the important subject is. A filled rectangle is not enough if the roofline or necessary text disappears.
The shared guide calls for separate landscape and mobile portrait material and inspection of important content. Centering the same file is not proof that every screen works. I examine the subject position and viewport proportions together. Removing empty space does not always have priority over preserving factual information.
For an entire building photograph, fit the area as well as the file
For the lower photograph, the archived code records the original ratio and uses contain to keep the whole composition. It chooses preservation of that composition over enlarging a fragment to fill a box. If the whole building is part of the explanation, an intelligible overview can be more useful than a dramatic crop.
Contain alone does not resolve empty space or reading size. A display box with a very different ratio can leave large gaps and make important content small. The box ratio and height therefore also need attention. Recording the file ratio preserves material-specific conditions even when several sites share the same presentation code.
Separate plans and maps from decorative photograph rules
The material guide treats documents with text and location information as whole-image material. Losing a table or explanation at an edge can change the meaning. An enlargement or mask effect that looks attractive on a home card should not automatically be applied to these documents. Decoration must not obscure information the visitor needs to read.
A blurry source or mismatched slot also is not a reason to invent a replacement plan. I examine original-size access and a more suitable display area. Producing an illustrative photograph and replacing a factual spatial document carry different responsibilities. Their presence in the same asset list does not grant the same editing permission.
Shared CSS still leaves material-specific checks
I have read the opening-background fill, lower-photo overview and document-contain rules separately in the archived CSS. That establishes the intent connected in source. The supplied archive excludes the original attachment pixels, so this review does not freshly observe every source photograph’s edges on the original sites. The historical assignment of visual review to the user is not evidence that it was completed.
After application, I would inspect wide and narrow views and the important boundaries of each material. Titles and selectors may reduce the actual display space. A whole view and a detail route can work together, but unreadably small labels may require another arrangement. A fit setting begins the inspection rather than completing it.
Two different meanings behind “make the image larger”
A customer may mean that the screen should feel filled or that the information should be easier to read. I separate those purposes first. Is the image an opening impression, or material for examining a building and its spatial relationships? Different rules in different places can serve a consistent website when their purposes are clear.
The material record should retain role, original ratio, important subject and presentation choice. Another maker can then understand which boundaries may be cropped and which information must survive. The transferable method is not to declare cover or contain the universal winner. It is to turn what the customer needs to judge from the image into explicit conditions in the implementation.
