Hi Elliot,

Actually, I realised that I don’t need to work with “ID” at all. Instead, I can use “Object” type and still have a custom size as a thumbnail.

So what I do now is have a function like this:

	/**
	* Add automatic image sizes
	*/
       if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) ) { 
	add_image_size( 'smallsquare', 45, 45, false ); //false: soft prop crop, true: hard crop
	}

which creates ‘smallsquare’.

So I can use ‘smallsquare’ with Object and get done what I wanted like this:

<a href="<?php the_field('race_website') ?>" target=_new>
						<img class="race_wiki_img" alt="" src="<?php $image = get_field('race_logo'); echo($image['sizes']['smallsquare']); ?>" />
						</a>

A very friendly suggestion, perhaps make this clearer in the docs for future users? The way it is written I got the idea that only predefined sizes can be used with Object, but if you want custom sizes you need to use ID.

Thanks for the help
