Resampling after resizing
Finding the perfect size for an image is often a matter of trial-and-error: It??™s important that a graphic work
together with the entire page layout for maximum effect. Dreamweaver makes it easy to resize an image??”
just drag the sizing handles to the desired location. (You can find a complete discussion of Dreamweaver??™s
resizing features later in this chapter in the ???Adjusting Height and Width??? section.) However, resizing an
image in Dreamweaver is not the same as rescaling it in a graphics program; Dreamweaver merely draws the
image to fit the chosen dimensions, much as a browser would. It doesn??™t actually re-create the graphic.
To get the cleanest, clearest representation of a resized graphic, you must resample the image. Resampling
refers to the process of adding or subtracting pixels when the image is resized.
