Typo3 Fluid ignoring max image sizes set in typoscript

Question

I've set in my Constants

styles.content.textmedia.maxW = 400
styles.content.textmedia.maxWInText = 400
styles.content.imgtext.maxW = 800

and tried a simple

<f:image src="..."></f:image>

without any params and on the frontend the image is still rendered on its original width ignoring my maxW constants

The original problem was to set different maxW for each column in gridelements which also did not work for fluid content. So i tried to break it down to the simplest maxW setting and even that is not working.

If i take the Text & Image contentelement, it works as expected so i assume, the system is behaving correctly but for any reason fluid images are ignoring the setting?!

Is there anything i do wrong or is there something missing which sets the maxW for f:image? I cant set the maxW in the f:image directly cause it may be located in different columns with different sizes, so i have to set it outside of the f:image tag.

Update: The main target was to be able to use gridelements as the gridengine and using dce for creating content elements while the elements should knew about the column widths, they are located in to scale images properly.

With the help of Mikel Wohlschlegel i got the missing hint, to fix my problem.

Solution:

gridelements config

tt_content.gridelements_pi1.20.10.setup {

  default < lib.gridelements.defaultGridSetup
  default {
        columns {
            default {
                renderObj = COA
                renderObj {
                    10 = LOAD_REGISTER
                    10.padding1.cObject = TEXT
                    10.padding1.cObject.data = field:parentgrid_flexform_padding1
                    10.padding2.cObject = TEXT
                    10.padding2.cObject.data = field:parentgrid_flexform_padding2
                    10.padding3.cObject = TEXT
                    10.padding3.cObject.data = field:parentgrid_flexform_padding3
                    10.colMaxWidth.cObject = CASE
                    10.colMaxWidth.cObject {
                        key.data = field:parentgrid_flexform_grid
                        default = TEXT
                        default.value = 1224
                        default.prioriCalc = 1
                    }
                    20.image.dataProcessing.20.maxGalleryWidth.data = register:colWidth
                    20.image.dataProcessing.20.maxGalleryWidthInText.data = register:colWidth

                    30 = RESTORE_REGISTER
                }
            }
        }
    }

  3 < .default
  3 {
    cObject = FLUIDTEMPLATE
    cObject {
      file = templates/gridelements/html/3columns.html
    }    
    columns {
      default.renderObj.10.colMaxWidth.cObject {
                default.value = 1224/100*33

                grid-20 = TEXT
                grid-20.value = 1224/100*20
                grid-20.prioriCalc = 1            
                grid-25 = TEXT
                grid-25.value = 1224/100*25
                grid-25.prioriCalc = 1                      
                grid-32 = TEXT
                grid-32.value = 1224/100*32
                grid-32.prioriCalc = 1                      
            } 
            0 < .default
            0.renderObj.10.colWidth.cObject = TEXT
            0.renderObj.10.colWidth.cObject {
                data = register:colMaxWidth
                stdWrap.dataWrap = | - {register:padding1} - {register:padding1}
                prioriCalc = 1
            }
            1 < .default
            1.renderObj.10.colWidth.cObject = TEXT
            1.renderObj.10.colWidth.cObject {
                data = register:colMaxWidth
                stdWrap.dataWrap = | - {register:padding2} - {register:padding2}
                prioriCalc = 1
            }
            2 < .default
            2.renderObj.10.colWidth.cObject = TEXT
            2.renderObj.10.colWidth.cObject {
                data = register:colMaxWidth
                stdWrap.dataWrap = | - {register:padding3} - {register:padding3}
                prioriCalc = 1
            }           
        }
    }

in dce fluid than i can use

{namespace vhs=FluidTYPO3\Vhs\ViewHelpers}
{vhs:variable.register.get(name: 'colWidth')}

to access this register value.
