> [@zogstrip](#): > > Yeah, there is a slight discrepancy between the preview and the cooked image. Ah, I see. I have an older 17" MacBook Pro with a 1920x1200 screen. On my system the measured display size of the image on the Keyboard Maestro forum is approximately 662x1187 pixels. (Measured with a screen ruler app.) So Peter must have change the default height of the “cooked” image. It is _much_ larger than what is showing here on the meta forum. Unpleasantly large — thus my attempt to manually resize it. Take a look. > **[Trying to add two variables and update one of them.

I really only need to add the System Clipboard to a current variable, but couldn't figure that out so I converted it to a variable "Local\_Add", which also does not work. What's my error? Thanks.

Are you saying this is the reason the “cooked” image _isn’t_ resized by changing the size in the markdown? -Chris --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/changing-image-width-height-manually-does-not-always-work/86649)._
