Dreamweaver sends files to the editor of your choosing.
The route you take depends on the depth of the modifications required. A key difference among these three
different types of operations (one that you??™ll want to factor into your image-editing decision) is that the
tools within Dreamweaver work on the actual graphic exported for Web use. After the page containing the
image is saved, changes cannot be reversed. If Fireworks is your graphics editor, both the Optimize and
Graphics Editor options can utilize the source files and create the exported file. The main advantage to
using source graphics is that you have much greater control and flexibility; many types of changes can be
done and undone as many times as needed. The primary disadvantage is that not all Web designers have
the option to alter the source graphics.
Regardless of which route you choose, you??™ll find it??™s easy to get there. Dreamweaver has centralized access
to all of the graphic tools in the most appropriate place??”the Image Property inspector (see Figure 9-6).

Dreamweaver includes a range of image-editing tools right on the Property inspector.

Cropping graphics
If you want to show only part of photograph in the real world, you??™d use a pair of scissors to crop off what
you don??™t want.
