thumbnail forces print image size to equal web size

Post by hoffie4 »

I have a project that is meant for both web and print. I created a style for images that automatically makes them a clickable thumbnail in the web output but not in the print output. For some reason though, when I look at a topic in the Print Layout and change the Print Size of an image, it also makes that the normal Size for the web output. So what ends up happening is I will size an image to be 4"x4" in the printed output and this will cause my thumbnail in the web output to be a really blurry 4"x4" thumbnail (which still works). It almost seems as though the normal Size value (which is set to Default) inherits the Print Size.

This does not happen if i use just the normal image style. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations of what I should do? Would it be better to just mark all of the thumbnail images as Online Only and add a separate instance of each image that is Print Only? This would probably work but would be tedious and would require additional work anytime I edit or change an image.
