Try setting a Focal point at the bottom part of the image

Hi, thanks for this additional information! Although this time, it doesn’t seem to work. I tried to set a focal point but still doesn’t show the part of the image i want to be visible in the homepage.

Please take a screenshot of your hero settings in theme customization.

hey @Wellanie Welcome to Shopify Community so you have to resize your image like your hero section container size is 2400 / 1000 for desktop size
and 750 / 1100 for mobile size make your image resize with this size and then check it

Welcome to Shopify Community, you should be resize your image like 2400*1000. Try this one , I will hope this is helpful for you.

The system uses those parameters, but they do not work because the wrapper is grid.

Try adding this to the “Custom CSS” of this section:

.hero__media-wrapper {
  display:  block;
}
.hero img {
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
}

When you add this, focal point starts to work.

Maybe some settings affect this, not sure yet.
