Image Editor

Using the in-built Image Editor in Setka Editor.

Opening Image Editing Mode

Many marketing departments don’t have the resources for a dedicated photography professional. That is why writers, editors, and content marketers can easily implement simple yet effective image edits right within the Setka Editor interface.

The image editor opens up in a pop-up window, allowing users to easily improve and optimize visuals alongside their content and layout editing efforts.

There are two ways how you can open the image editing mode:

1. From the image inserted into the post (into a page)

2. From the Image panel in Side Toolbar

Why don't my images appear in the editing mode?

That happens, because images, that that you uploaded to the post are hosted on a domain different from the domain where you work in Setka Editor. So the CORS error happens, which restricts loading of any resources from a different domain, except, when the responding server has a header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * (instead of * you can apply any domain name).

For example:

• Setka Editor's domain — https://example.com

• Domain, where the images are hosted — https://cdn.example.com

For resolving CORS error — you need to add HTTP Header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://example.com for all responses from https://cdn.example.com.

Read in the following article how to resolve the CORS error for your images.
