Fit a whole photo inside a placeholder (contain)
Cover fit is the default placement inside placeholders for BookProofs template design: the photo fills the placeholder. Contain fits the whole photo inside the placeholder instead, so nothing is cropped no matter what aspect ratio placeholder the image sits inside. Turn on the contain/cover toggle in settings if you want that choice per photo. It's highly recommended to leave Reset to cover on template change switched on: with it off, contained photos keep their fit when you change templates and the layout will almost certainly provide unexpected results on template swaps.
