The image Block with the starterkit has the option for cropping ratio. How do I make this effect the cropping on the front end? I have looked at the `snippet>blocks>image` file but cant see how I would achieve this? Is this possible?

Create a copy of the default image block snippet in `site/snippets/blocks` with the same name `image.php`. You can find here the default code here: [image | Kirby CMS](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/blocks/image#default-files__snippet). Adapt as required.
