 * Hi!
 * Is there any guide on how to use images with Make? I’m a total believer in the
   theme and wants to go Make Pro, but the setback I experience is that it is SO
   hard to get the images right. Everything from getting header and banner images
   working with different resolutions and devices to make column images show in 
   a nice manner.
 * I can’t find very much on the topic in the help sections or elsewhere online 
   and this is really make it or break it for me and my decision to buy or not.

 * Hello!
 * Try the demo of Make Plus on our site here (click “Try Builder” at the top): 
   [https://thethemefoundry.com/wordpress-themes/make/](https://thethemefoundry.com/wordpress-themes/make/)
 * You’ll be taken to a page already populated with content, but click the “Add 
   New” button at the top of the Edit Page and then you’ll see the option to load
   demo content from a Quick Start Template. Those templates make image size _suggestions_,
   but they’re not hard and fast. We typically recommend you make your images as
   large as you can, but not so large that they bog down your page… It’s a delicate
   balance, I know.

 * I have the same question, and I was not able to access the “Try Builder” page
   that you reference.
 * The problem that I’m having relates to the fact that I am not able to crop images
   for my gallery page. When I upload an image to my Media file, the crop button
   is not available. Do you have any tips or guidelines for how to format images
   to optimally appear in the gallery?
 * Thanks!

 * I’d recommend you use an actual image editor to edit and crop your images before
   you upload them. No pixel guide, but it usually works best if all your images
   are the same size/aspect ratio.

 * “Try Builder” is in the FOOTER, not the top of the page. “Add New” adds a new
   page. The words “Quick Start Template” were not found on the new page.

 * Hey there Randy,
 * We actually removed the Quick Start templates a few months ago. 🙂 This post 
   is pretty old. And yup, we rearranged things on the Make homepage also.
 * If you have presale questions on Make Plus, your best bet is to email us.
