Apply image presets or dynamic renditions apply-image-presets-or-dynamic-renditions
Like a macro, an image preset is a predefined collection of sizing and formatting commands saved under a name. Image presets enable Experience Manager Assets Brand Portal to dynamically deliver images of different sizes, formats, and properties.
An image preset is used to generate dynamic renditions of images that can be previewed and downloaded. When previewing images and their renditions, you can choose a preset to reformat images to the specifications set by your Administrator.
(If Experience Manager Assets author instance is running on Dynamic Media Hybrid mode) To view dynamic renditions of an asset in Brand Portal, ensure that its Pyramid tiff rendition exists at the Experience Manager Assets author instance from where you publish to Brand Portal. When you publish the asset, its PTIFF rendition is also published to Brand Portal.
For more information about the parameters required while creating image presets, see Managing Image Presets.
