STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Click on the Image with text split section to open the settings.

   The Natural setting displays the original shape of your image. The section height will adapt to the image aspect ratio.

4. Use Image focal points to specify the main focus of your images. The focal point of your image will remain centered and within frame when your site adapts to different screen sizes.

   See our image guide to learn more about specifying a focal point for an image used within a section or for an uploaded image file when used anywhere on your site.

5. Set the Image position on the Left or Right of the section beside the promo content block.

6. (Optional) Set the Image mobile position to show the image Above or Below the promo content block.

   Change the Background color option below, which will display behind the image and within the padding space.
