After the latest updates released with the November Update, all our reports that use the New Card Visual have a serious problem with the management of images inserted in the Card.
For example.
I have this card with three blocks in which I have inserted a small icon (see image).
In PowerBI desktop, the rendering is correct and consistent with the values entered in the configuration.
However, when I publish the report on PowerBI Service, the card rendering is completely incorrect:
(note how the image in the card is significantly larger, as if the “size” 50px parameter were not being taken into account)
Could you kindly intervene as soon as possible, as all our reports using the new cards are currently illegible and, in some cases, do not contain any information?
Regards

Status changed:NewtoNewThe Image settings were updated as part of GA, you will probably need to update the image area % based on what I'm seeing above, as the new visual can accept both and you need to set the % of callout area.
Update with November build of Desktop and re-publish.
- Hi Having the same issue, did anyone solve this?
- Anyone know a solution? Issue is only there when I publish my report so this is hard to fix, this impacts a lot of our reports

In your case specifically, yes, if you set a px size then it may not be applying after GA. Using November Desktop, you need to change the Image Fit to "Center" to get that size to apply, and also reduce the Image Area % to 20% or so (it was likely undefined previously and now applies the default of 50% of the Callout container area).
The previous image settings were at the top level, but were moved under Callout -> Image.
There is a new "Image Hero" feature at the top level of the format pane now, this is a new Image that has it's own separate container (not part of the Callout container). mattleein regards to px:
"Image area size" of callout > image used to have px as an option as per the wayback machine instead of %

"Image area size
Define the image area size between 10% and 90% with this feature. When the Fix size toggle is enabled, this area size option changes to to a Size option where you can input the number of pixels instead"
If you want 2 visuals of different widths, both with a fixed size svg on the left and content on the right, being forced to choose image area as %
means the image area is a different size based on the width of the visual. Should be able to specify a fixed px image areamattlee- we are experiencing what appears to be a similar issue. The SVG used within the (new) card visual in desktop does not match what is published. I do no see how to change the %. I'm setting the image using a URL within the 'Image' section in Layout. There are only options to change the size of the image in pixels.
Regardless of how this works, what appears in Desktop should match what will appear in a published report, otherwise we are blind when developing in Desktop. Is this something that is actively being work on to fix, and if so, any estimate for when this might be resolved?
I posted this issue on a new thread as I hadn't seen this existing thread: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Card-Visual-New-Image-Size-Displays-Differently-in-Desktop-vs/m-p/4890951#M1449054
