🥳🎉 Hi Mitch, you found a workaround from solely depending on the other option:) You can select a focus area for your image ( the green circle ) …. but even then, it isn’t guaranteed.
Medium uses a few photo sizes for their displays and images display differently on mobile versus desktop.
.rule of thumb : select an age that can crop square, tall and wide without being compromised. Not easy but that the web for you!
