I'm using elsarticle-harv templates, which is a two columns article. I have a hard time trying to fit figures within the two columns the figure goes above the text margins.

So this is how it looks like:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width = 0.50\textwidth, natwidth=430,natheight=495]    {outcrops.jpg}
\caption{The study area within Utah from \cite{zu12}}
\label{fig:otc}
\end{figure}

Could you please help me solving this?

You can get current column width with \columnwidth, probably better to use than \textwidth. And natwidth/natheight are useless on a jpg/pdf, etc. Try without them. – Alain Merigot Jun 21 '19 at 17:44
In case removing natwidth/natheight does not solve your problem, please add a minimal working example (MWE) – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jun 21 '19 at 21:56

So I end up using pdf instead of jpg, and i tool off the natwidth and natheight. It seems working now! Thank you all for your comments. – Majed86 Jun 23 '19 at 14:19
