File Name

Displays the filename of the image including its path (relative to the Clarity root directory). Clarity supports various image files formats. It is recommended to use preferably *.png, *.jpg or *.jpeg image files.

Image Size

The image size can either correspond to the specifications in the file (Original) or can be resized to the height of the header (Adapted Height) or to explicitly specified dimensions (Fixed Height).

If the image and text do not fit to the page width, Clarity will provide a warning when opening the Print Preview dialog, divide the header in thirds (halves when only one image is selected) and print its contents without respect to the actual dimensions.
