When using an image element (album or photo) it displays only a very enlaged part of my album imige or photo, when using the option Fill Container.  
I tried different option for the size of the image. Nothing worked.  
Only if I use a fixed size (height and width) then the complete contents of the image is scaled and visible.

With such parameters Image.width = 100%, Image.Height = 100%, resizeMode = Center the problem does not disappear?

Hi there. There’s a property called Resize Mode which should give you a lot options in terms of sizing. There’s an intro guide to sizing that may help you below.

Thank You. That helped.  
With Fill Container it does not work.  
But “filling the container” with 100% relative size in the container, the image really fits the space.

By the way, I think: In Classic Thunkable it also worked with Fill Container.
