Reducing width of image captions without messing up subcaptions
The captions in my document are as wide as the text itself and this can lead to parts where the caption seems to continue when in reality it's the document's text. So I wanted to reduce the width of the captions to about 80% of the linewidth or so, to make it clear what is a caption and what isn't.
I already have a command captionsetup{format=plain,indention=0pt,justification=justified} in my preamble so I tried adding width=0.8textwidth to that but it changes the width also for the subcaptions which will then overlap:
I also tried width=0.8linewidth but I get the same result.
Here's my example code, I would appreciate any help!
documentclass{scrreprt}
usepackage{subfig}
usepackage{graphicx}
captionsetup{format=plain,indention=0pt,justification=justified,width=0.8textwidth}
begin{document}
begin{figure}[h]
vspace{-0.6cm}
centering
subfloat[this is a short caption]{%
includegraphics[width=0.45textwidth]{example-image-a}}
quad
subfloat[this is a longer caption that goes on and on and on until at some point it finally stops.]{%
includegraphics[width=0.45textwidth]{example-image-b}}
caption{Foo}
end{figure}
begin{figure}[h]
centering
includegraphics[width=0.6textwidth]{example-image-c}
caption{Now this image need a really long caption to get across what I'm trying to say, so I'll have to figure out what to write here to fill some lines of text. I could have just included texttt{lipsum} or some other package but at this point I've waisted enough time to go back and change that.}
end{figure}
This is some text not belonging to the caption and it should be clearly distinguishable
end{document}
