Can image size be set in code?

When Zac needs to change the image size in the single portfolio page he goes in and edits the attributes of each image individually. It seems to me that it should be possible to specify the image size to use within the code? Is this possible, and if so how? The same issue also relates to setting the image URL - could this not be set in code also?

Also, WordPress has an add_image_size() function that you can use to when using images throughout your site. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_image_size/

I believe you can go into the admin settings and set images to be a custom size. I can't remember from the top of my head precisely where but it should be somewhere in General settings.

For greater control of specific you should be able to go into a template file and specify image size attributes in there. Of give the image you want a class and change the CSS properties. All sorts of options. :-)
