Help with scaling images for Story Map Journal

Question

I am a rookie at building Story Maps, have done some of the simpler. Tackling a Journal format, and most of all OK, except that the images that I bring up to the Main are too large. How do you scale them to be smaller, particularly if to be used as pop-ups? Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi Ferdinand,

About images in popup, images will get scaled down to 200px by 150px with respect to your images aspect ratio.

This means that if your image is a typical portrait image, very tall, what you see is the expected behavior.

Your solution to have a bigger image is to resize your images so that they have the 200x150px aspect ratio (1.3), this will involve cropping some part of your images.

If this does not fit your need, you would have to customize the popup to change it's behavior by downloading the template (css customization).

Here again, Gegory. I forgot to ask about the hosting explanation in your

email above. I have an individual license as an educator, and my knowledge

is limited. Does my license include hosting data in ArcGIS Online as hosted

Feature Service or using ArcGIS Server? Please advise and any guidance.

Thanks again.

Ferdinand

Hi, Gregory.  I was on travel and did not see your email until now.  Here

is the link to a Story Map Journal of the main waterfalls in Puerto Rico I

am working on (only partially populated with images and GIF's):

http://arcg.is/1xiV4ol.

Check the green marker for an example of a picture that shows rather small.

If you check the blue group just south of the green marker (just about 5 in

the clock dial), I have added some GIF's that are also small.  I tried

increasing the size of the images with GIMP but there is no effect.  Any

help will be appreciated.

Cordially,

Ferdinand
