# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

**My hex color value is broken, what happened?**

TYPO3 strips the leading zero from hex codes like `015069`. Prefix the
value with `#`, for example
`imageServerOptions="{blend-color: '#015069', blend-alpha: 80}"`.
See [lim:uri.image](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/lia/lia_imageserver:usage-uri-image-hex@2.3).

**My inline ViewHelper call with source sets is unreadable.**

Nested arrays in inline notation get messy fast. Store the
`sourceSets` array in a Fluid variable with `<f:variable>` and
pass the variable to the ViewHelper. See [Best practice: source sets as variables](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/lia/lia_imageserver:usage-best-practice@2.3).

**How do I bypass the external image server for one image?**

Set `passThrough="true"` on `<lim:image>` or
`<lim:uri.image>`. The URL then points to the file processed by
TYPO3 itself. See [Additional arguments](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/lia/lia_imageserver:usage-image-arguments@2.3).

**Where do I get help?**

See chapter [Where to get help](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/lia/lia_imageserver:help@2.3).
