How does Podspun choose the image layout for a news article?

Podspun tags artwork as it is imported from episodes and social posts: photo, illustration, meme, card with text, minimal card, screenshot, or graphic. The Hero and News Index blocks use that tag when their layout is Automatic. Photos and illustrations can fill the header. Composition-sensitive images stay whole beside the headline so their text and design are not cropped. With Image Beside Text, a picture drawn on one flat color, such as show cover art or a poster, is shown whole and is never cropped. When that layout runs to the screen edges, the band behind the headline takes the picture's own color.

To override one article, open it in the website editor. In Config, correct the Featured Image Type if needed. Open the article's Hero block and set Single Image Layout to Automatic, Full Bleed, or Image Beside Text. On the News landing page, the News Index block has the same choice for its featured article. This changes presentation only. It does not add another block or alter the original image.
