New CSS features for images

Modern CSS empowers developers with concise, effective tools for robust image handling:

• Aspect Ratio:
  The aspect-ratio property enforces fixed proportions, stabilizing layouts by preventing unexpected shifts while images load.

  .container {  
    aspect-ratio: 16/9;  
  }  

• Object Fit & Object Position:
  Use object-fit (e.g., cover, contain) and object-position to precisely control image scaling and alignment within their containers, eliminating awkward cropping or distortion.

  img {  
    object-fit: cover;  
    object-position: center;  
  }  

• Image-Set for Resolution Adaptability:
  The image-set() function offers resolution switching for background images, ensuring optimal clarity on high-DPI devices.

  .hero {  
    background-image: image-set(url("hero.png") 1x, url("hero@2x.png") 2x);  
  }  

• Additional Enhancements:
  image-rendering fine-tunes scaling algorithms for crisp output (ideal for pixel art), while filter enables dynamic visual effects directly in CSS.

These features significantly streamline image presentation, reducing reliance on JavaScript hacks and complex workarounds, thus markedly easing everyday development tasks.
