 #### Fixed Image Rendering
 
-In cases where enough information is provided about an image's dimensions, `buildSrcSet()` will instead build a `srcset` that will allow for an image to be served at different resolutions. The parameters taken into consideration when determining if an image is fixed-width are `w`, `h`, and `ar`. By invoking `buildSrcSet()` with either a width **or** the height and aspect ratio (along with `fit=crop`, typically) provided, a different `srcset` will be generated for a fixed-size image instead.
+Specifying either a `w` or a `h` parameter to `buildSrcSet()` will create a DPR-based srcset. This DPR-based srcset allows for the fixed-sized image to be served at different resolutions (i.e. at different pixel densities).
