 * Hello,
 * There are few days I am working with th Visual Portfolio plugin. All is fine,
   so now I’m looking for implementing it in my website.
 * But I still have a strategic question : I don’t really understood how the images
   resizing is managed ?
 * I mean : I have thousands of images, so I need to care about all the sizes that
   wordpress is creating for a good storage gestion. Until now, I was importing 
   my files in the wordpress media library and then creating each specific protfolio
   by selecting the images in the library … but doing this, am I unnecessarily duplicating
   the resized versions ? The Plugin is creating its owns resized versions too ?
   What would be the best practice to create and store in the database ONLY :
 * 1. the full size version
    2. the different resized versions I set up in the plugin
   settings section ?
 * I was thinking that I no more need all the versions WordPress automatically resized
   and stored when I imported the images in its library, so I was thinking maybe
   it’s better to upload the images when creating each portfolio and not firstly
   upload it in the library… And what will happen after that : wordpress will do
   its own resizes ? Does VP resizing process “bypass” the wordpress standard automatic
   resizing task ?
 * Thank you for all your advises !

 * Hey.
 * Our plugin just adds support for additional image sizes using the WordPress core
   function [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_image_size/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_image_size/).
 * All resizes WordPress make by itself.
 * Regards, nK.
