If you go into any transformation and click the link directly above to the right of the transformation box that says Transformation Examples, this will have several methods you can use to get an image. The simplest would be <%# GetImage("BlogPostTeaser") %> This will generate the full < img > tag for you.

Brendan: thanks for your response on this. I'm attempting the same with new blog. but does this code get added to an existing transformation or does it have to exist on it's own? I've included sample and screenshot below:

How can you add a class to that image tag that gets returned from GetImage?

Hello Josh,

you will need to write a Custom method for transformation.
