It is to be noted that the recordId attribute takes as value the Album Id (or the record Id) of the corresponding SharinPix Album.
<sharinpix:TagAction recordId="{!$CurrentPage.Parameters.Id}" />Enabling Tag action in Salesforce Lightning Experience
To activate the Tag Action on the Salesforce Lightning Experience, proceed as follows:

Note:
For the Tag Action to work properly, you should ensure that the users have access to the field applied to the Tag Action's configuration.
Below is the detailed list of Tag Action values. The field specified in the Field Name parameter will be populated with the selected Tag Action value.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Width | The original width of the image. |
| Height | The original height of the image. |
| Full url | The URL of the image with a maximum width and height of 1920px. |
| Large url | The URL of the image with a maximum width and height of 200px. |
| Mini url | The URL of the image with a maximum width and height of 100px. |
| Original url | The URL of the original image |
| Id | The SharinPix ID of the image as stored in the database of SharinPix. |
| Geolocation | Geolocation value found in the image metadata. |
| Fit to size |
A URL to the image fitted to the specified size. Click here for more details about Fit to size. |
| Fill to size | A URL to the image filled to the specified size. Click here for more details about Fill to size. |
| Scale to size | A URL to the image filled to the specified size. Click here for more details about Scale to size. |
| Pad to size | A URL to the image padded to the specified size. Click here for more details about Pad to size. |
| Custom value | Add a custom value to the field (can be a text, true or false, a numeric) |
| Watermark | Adds a watermark on the image. Click here for more details about how to add a Watermark. |
| Limit to size | Sets a size limit. Click here for more details about Limit to size. |
Transformation
The difference between Fit, Fill, Scale, and Pad is as follows:
- Fit to sIze: The image is resized so that it takes up as much space as possible within a bounding box defined by the given width and height parameters. The original aspect ratio is retained and all of the original image is visible.
- Fill to size: An image is created with the exact given width and height while retaining the original aspect ratio, using only part of the image that fills the given dimensions if necessary (only part of the original image might be visible if the requested aspect ratio is different from the original aspect ratio).
- Scale to size: Changes the size of the image exactly to the given width and height without necessarily retaining the original aspect ratio: all original image parts are visible but might be stretched or shrunk.
- Pad to size: Resizes the image to fill the given width and height while retaining the original aspect ratio and with all of the original image visible. If the proportions of the original image do not match the given width and height, padding is added to the image to reach the required size.
- Limit to size: Sets a size limit. If an image's dimensions exceed the limit value entered, the image is scaled down to that specified value.
The image below shows an example of how to configure a Tag Action with a Fit to size of value 500x500 px.
Note:
- When applying a transformation, the original image is not affected.
- The size can be specified by using <width>x<height> or <width and height>.
Examples are:
- 500x500 for a width and height of 500px. This can also be only written as "500".
- 600x400 for a width of 600px and height of 400px.
- 750 for a width and height of both 750px.
Tip:

You can now set:
- The Image ID of the watermark image to be used in the Image field.
- The width of the watermark in the Width field.
- The height of the watermark in the Height field.
- Choose the watermark format in the field labeled Format. It can either be in pixels or in percentage.
- The opacity in the field labeled as Opacity.
