This section covers adding images to your website.
Drupal does not provide an image editing capabilities. So all the work of editing images (cropping, resizing, saving images to the correct format) needs be done in Adobe Photoshop, which is software provided by ITS, or another photo editor of your choice. There are several online photo editors which you can also use such as Canva or Pixlr.

6.3) Alt Text Requirement and Best Practices
Important Tip: Every image included on the website MUST include ALT text.
Alt Text is the written copy that appears in place of an image on a webpage if the image fails to load on a user's screen. This text helps screen-reading tools describe images to visually impaired readers.

The following image style guide shows you the recommended image sizes that should be used. All dimensions are in pixels (width x height). Photos should be saved in .jpg format using 70% compression.
