Connections like most plugins/themes use a center weighted scale/crop.

Add this filter to change this default:

function cn_output_default_atts_image_filter( $atts ) {

    $atts['zc'] = 2;

    return $atts;
}
add_filter( 'cn_output_default_atts_image', 'cn_output_default_atts_image_filter' );

Valid values:

• 0 Resize to Fit specified dimensions (no cropping)
• 1 Crop and resize to best fit the dimensions (default behaviour)
• 2 Resize proportionally to fit entire image into specified dimensions, and add borders if required
• 3 Resize proportionally adjusting size of scaled image so there are no borders gaps

I think 2 is the only other crop mode that will work well in your use case.

Hope this helps!
