Image Effects are not available in new Confluence Cloud editing experience
Asked by McG:

In Atlassian's [2019-12-06 blog post](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html) detailing the changes to the editing experience, all of the advertised features are available, with one exception.

In the ["Image Effects" section](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html#ConfluenceEditingImprovements-Imageeffects), they allude to the ability to set text wrapping:

However in my editor, those text-wrapping controls are missing:

Any feedback on how I might address this? At the moment, all images I insert will be centered, which looks stupid on large monitors (even with the default narrow layout).

Now it is **not proposed nor available anymore** in Confluence Cloud.

Why ?

I see how image alignment can be important for good documentation visualization and how it affects the creation of new content. With this in mind,++*I tried to replicate this issue and was ultimately unable to.*++ This is the environment where I tried:
> * *Google Chrome version 79.0.3945.79 64-bit*
> * *Windows 10 version 1903*

This is what I see when I try to align an image:

++**.PNG image**++

With these results in mind, I would like to understand a little more about your environment. Here is a list of questions for clarification:
> 1. *What browser are you using?*
> 2. *Which operating system are you using?*
> 3. *Is this present in all pages which contain images?*
> 4. *Is this happening with any image?*
> 5. *Is this happening if you create a new page with nothing but an image?*

We could try to rule out browser issues by trying another browser and even incognito/private mode of the current one.

Let us hear from you. Looking forward to your reply!

body: [@Diego](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1188952) Thanks for the reply! Here are my responses:

* ***What browser are you using?*** Either Safari 13.0.4 or Chrome *78.0.3904.108*
* ***Which operating system are you using?***macOS Mojave 10.14.6
* ***Is this present in all pages which contain images?***Yes
* ***Is this happening with any image?***Yes
* ***Is this happening if you create a new page with nothing but an image?***Ooo...if I do this, I see the controls!

After a bit of experimentation, it seems to be an issue when using the Page Layout feature --- when going multi-column, if the image is within one of the columns, I only get the delete option; otherwise I see the controls:

body: Hello there again, [@McG](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2252101)!

I got to replicate this issue locally, ++*no matter what browser I used*++ . With this in mind, I was able to come up with a workaround for this situation. It is ++*Lest Than Ideal, But Works.*++

So, here is what we want to do to align our images:
> 1. *Create a new page*
> 2. *Insert the layouts*
> 3. *Insert the images you are going to use*
> 4. *Use **CMD+A or CTRL+A** (this depends on Operating System being used) to select everything inside the editor*
> 5. *Now, at the top toolbar select the Text Alignment tool*
> 6. *Select the desired alignment*
> 7. *You can now type away your text!*

There is a reason as to why I recommended using CTRL+A/CMD+A instead of the mouse selection. ++*I was able to select the rightmost image, but not the left one*++. Selecting everything overcomes this block.

Also, I created this bug report here:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Cloud\] \[CONFCLOUD-68890\] Attaching images inside a layout section disables the alignment controls](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-68890)**++

I strongly recommend that you share your opinion and experience regarding this situation there. ++*Feedback is what drives Atlassian towards a better tool. Everyone's feedback is welcome!*++

Let me hear from you!
