Optimizing and altering images
It??™s the rare graphic that integrates into the Web page design unaltered. Digital photographs often need to be
cropped and almost always need to be reduced??”either in dimensions, file size, or both. Other images may
need to be sharpened to achieve an immediate effect or lightened to fit better into the page palette.
Dreamweaver provides several pathways to the perfect Web image:
n Image editing within Dreamweaver: Without even leaving Dreamweaver, you can crop, resample,
sharpen, and alter brightness and contrast of any selected GIF or JPG graphic. You don??™t even
have to have a graphics editor such as Adobe Fireworks installed. You??™ll see how shortly.
n Graphic optimization through Fireworks within Dreamweaver: For more sophisticated image
operations??”without full-scale editing??”choose Optimize Image.
