 * Almost every image in my posts shrinks down regardless of the size setting I 
   give it. When I change the theme to a different one this problem goes away, but
   I really like this theme.
    From reading an earlier topic in the help forums it
   seems to be linked to my using the ‘align left/right’ function, but I don’t want
   to unalign the images either. Is there a way to fix this auto-shrinking while
   keeping the pictures aligned so the text can still wrap nicely? (if it helps 
   to know, I’m still using the classic editor, not the new block one)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fimages-auto-shrinking%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@kirstie0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kirstie0/),
 * Hemingway limits the width of the alignleft/alignright embeds to make sure that
   the text wrapping the embeds have sufficient amounts of space. It looks like 
   you’ve removed the max-width of the embeds, so I’m marking the thread as resolved.
 * Keep in mind that any changes you make to the theme style.css file will be overwritten
   the next time you update the theme. If you want the change to be permanent, you
   can add the following CSS to Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS:
 *     ```
       .post-content .alignleft,
       .post-content .alignright {
           max-width: none;
       }
       ```
