I just preview my workspace and saw that the imgs are outside the cube and really big. Is it suppose to be like that?

This is the workspace preview

For an issue like this, we might need access to the images as well as the code to a complete analysis. You can make a code snapshot (not a photo) of your workspace and post the link to it here.

Yes it's supposed to be like that when you first launch the workspace. This is because there are no styles for the images originally. This is because we style the images a few minutes into the video.
