    So to let our site fans upload images and make sure they're not gonna break our site,
  • 0:17
    we want to automatically resize those
  • 0:19
    so they could just upload whatever they need
  • 0:21
    and then make it all work magically for them.
  • 0:24
    So in this lesson we're going to create our first image style.
  • 0:28
    And we'll be using scale and crop and see how that effect works.
  • 0:33

In this lesson we'll modify an existing image style to customize it, and also see how we can improve our image quality.
