  Your new way of dealing with images SUCKS.
  I use to be able to add copy in the image that when the image was scrolled over, the type would appear.
  NO MORE!!!
  I could scale my image down 90%, 80%, 70%, 60% and so forth – NO MORE!!!
  Yes, it says I can scale, but it doesn’t happen. When I key in the new numbers, click save and then update, the image remains the same as before trying to scale.
  I use to be able to crop a image without issue – NO MORE!!!
  Been the last hour trying scale, crop an image unsuccessfully.
  Besides that, had to leave Safari because the Preview page became a 404 error page and then had to redo it all in Chrome
  If someone, ANYONE can tell me how to scale, crop and insert copy in a image like I had been doing since 2010 PLEASE!!!!!! reply.

  Hi Patrice, Yes, we’ve made adjustments to the editor that will take some getting used to, but we’re hoping that you find them more convenient in the long run. I’m sorry for your frustration.

  The following links should clear up some confusion.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions. You’re welcome to send me links to troublesome pages/posts/images, and provide me with screenshots if you’re struggling. You can upload the screenshot to your Media Library, like any other image, and I’ll be able to access it from there. Just let me know when I can take a look.

  The page at the following link has some helpful tips for taking screenshots:

  Wishing you all the best! Thanks much.
