# Images in Emerge

**Edit theme** → **Theme settings** → **Images**.

Crops for product, collection, and article images.

**Corner radius** is storewide. Besides photos, it rounds embedded videos, text blocks with a background color, the newsletter popup, and sections with **Outer background** off.

## Crops and radius (Emerge)

- **Corner radius**: rounds product and content images, embedded videos, text blocks with a background color, the newsletter popup, and inset sections (**Outer background** off). Not applied to full-width section images.
- **Product image size**: Natural, Square (1:1), Landscape (4:3), Portrait (4:5), Portrait (2:3)
- **Collection image size**: collection lists and thumbnails
- **Article image size**: blog cards

Natural keeps mixed photos honest. A fixed ratio makes Cafe- and Elements-style grids look catalogued. Export sizes: [What image sizes should I use?](https://support.troopthemes.com/faqs/what-image-sizes-should-i-use/).

## Ask Sidekick <img src="/_images/sidekick-icon.png" alt="" class="sidekick-icon"> (Emerge)

Open [Sidekick](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-admin/productivity-tools/sidekick) from the theme editor toolbar (top right, next to the device preview icon), or press `⌘.` (`Ctrl+.` on Windows). Unsure whether Natural, Square, or Portrait crops will suit your product photography, or how consistent your existing photos actually are, describe your catalog.

> "My product photos are a mix of studio shots and lifestyle images, what Product image size should I use for the grid?"

It can help you reason through the trade-off before you commit the whole store to one crop, and point you to Shopify's [image size guidance](https://support.troopthemes.com/faqs/what-image-sizes-should-i-use/) if you're about to reshoot.

## Troubleshooting (Emerge)

- **Images look cropped**: **Product image size**, not a broken file. Switch to Natural or shoot for the ratio.
- **Corner radius ignored on a hero**: full-width section images are excluded on purpose.
