Posts element featured image focus

I'm using the Posts element to show blog post excerpts in a grid view. Each excerpt is showing the post's featured image. The problem I'm seeing is that each image is cutoff around the edges. From looking into it, it looks like Brizy is cropping the images to a standard size focused on the center. If this is what's happening is there a way to change the focus of the post's featured image like I can for other Brizy images? I do see the focus dot when setting the post's featured image, but when I update the post (in the Gutenburg editor) it doesn't save in the same position and reverts back to the middle center; is this a bug?

Additionally, is it possible to specify which image size to use, for instance the image's medium size? That would eliminate the cropping issues.

  Hey, 

  For the dynamic images you can't perfectly control how the image is cropped, but what you can do is play a bit with the ratio in the builder like this: https://jmp.sh/9UtnRcY and match a cropping closer to the image ratio. 

  There are a bunch of improvements we plan for the dynamic content in the future. We'll have to work with what's there right now until we fine tune the dynamic part. 

  Hope this helps.

  Hey, that worked! I ended up having to change the number of columns instead though because when I shrunk an image the width of the parent container stayed the same so the image was no longer flush against the left and right.

  I'm looking forward to the improvements to Brizy! I really like using it.

  Hi Dimi, do you have any timeframe for the dynamic content display improvement?

  I currently use Brizy with WooCommerce to create categories + subcategories and display products.

   

  With dynamic image displaying, I have the same issues like Timothy. Unfortunately all my products have different image ratio - so I cannot really make it work the way you suggested.

   

  Any idea how to make this work - i.e. display the whole image, not a cropped centered version?

   

  Here is the products display: http://mintl.eu/new/product-category/resistance-measurements-standards/
