FIGURE 9-11
Get the best Web image possible at the lowest file size through the Optimize Image command.
When you first launch Optimize Image??”either by clicking the Optimize button on the Property inspector
or choosing the Optimize Image command from the Commands menu??”Dreamweaver presents a dialog
that asks whether you??™d like to edit the source PNG file or the current file. When you choose the source file,
Dreamweaver automatically re-exports the file and stores the changes when you??™re done.
For a full explanation of all that??™s possible through the Optimize Image command, see
Chapter 24.
Editing images
Although Dreamweaver includes some tools for cropping, sharpening, and otherwise revising images in
your Web pages, it is not a full-featured graphics editor. Certain tasks??”such as slicing a larger graphic into
sections or adding text to an image??”are beyond Dreamweaver??™s scope. You can, however, set up your
graphics editor of choice to work hand-in-hand with Dreamweaver.
