# Dynamic Media Handling Guidelines

# Configuration Examples for Images served via Dynamic Media

Find some implementation examples here.

See also the Showroom documentation for general configuration information and further details.

#### When Not to Use Dynamic Media Smart Crops

There might be rare examples when cropped images are not allowed e.g. due to image licensing policies. In this case you may adjust the DAM folder options to avoid a DM handling and configure the original image for use.

**Key Rule:** In any further case the use of Smart Crops and renditions shall be recommendet in order to speed up the image delivery.

## Background Transparency

### Card Teaser Examples

Depending on the customized **Image processing options** in your card teaser configuration, the output may vary.

## Example with an transparent .PNG image as original, served as .JPEG

The background transparent file will be served differently when using the desired .JPEG format.

## Example with an transparent .PNG image as original, served as .WEBP

The background transparent file will be served differently when using the DM default settings with desired format .WEBP only.

## Example with an transparent .PNG image as original and WebP with Transparency

The background transparent .PNG file will be served differently when using WebP with Transparency as desired format.

## Image Quality

### Balance image delivery and image quality

In order to reduce the image delivery via smaller files you may reduce the **Image Quality** as a customized **Image processing** option.

For large teasers a higher quality with up to 90% as maximum is recommented.

### 50% image quality

### 75% image quality

### 90% image quality

## Image Sharpening

### Images with Text e.g. maps

If the image includes fine details or additional text elements it's recommendet to use customized**Image processing** options in your image configuration for the **Image Sharpening** parameter

## Example without Image Sharpening

In this example, the white borders of the states in particular are highlighted with varying intensity due to the sharpening effect.

## Example with Normal Image Sharpening

In this example, the white borders of the states in particular are highlighted with varying intensity due to the sharpening effect.

## Example with High Image Sharpening

In this example, the white borders of the states in particular are highlighted with varying intensity due to the sharpening effect.
