I am an experienced graphic designer and have similar design / setup interfaces, such as Constant Contact.

 

Try as I might I am unable to get an image to run to the outer edge, of the sent email, there is always a margin to the left and right.

 

In general, there appears to be little control over spacing within a block, text or images.

Hello @L235535 ,

 

In the regular email builder, you can toggle automated margins for images. For step-by-step and visual guidance on inserting and formatting images in emails, I'd recommend the following articles (also available via the Help tab in your account):

 

If you're wanting more control over the designs of your emails, and you understand HTML coding, then I'd recommend using the custom code editor. Keep in mind that since the custom code editor uses your own coding, our ability to support issues with the email's construction will be very limited.

These were the two that solved the issue in tandem:

1st: Remove the padding.

2nd: But you will not see the change until you resize the image to maximum.
