Inserting Images 9
Dreamweaver??™s built-in graphic functions are perfect for low-level quick fixes when an image needs to be
cropped or resampled. In this Dreamweaver Technique, you get an opportunity to adjust one picture in a
number of ways.
1. Open the images_start.htm file worked on in the last Dreamweaver Technique.
2. Select the second image on the page, next to the ???Big house, big garage??? heading. As you see, this
image has a few problems in the outer part of the picture; with Dreamweaver, you can crop those
right out of view.
3. On the Property inspector, click Crop.
4. Dreamweaver alerts you that taking this action will affect the selected image; click OK to continue.
5. Move the cropping handles on the top and left to exclude the white patches; move the cropping
handles on the right and bottom to the outer edge of the images.
6. When you??™ve moved the cropping handles to the correct position, double-click in the center of the
image to confirm your changes. The image is still a bit too big; you can use the built-in Rescale
tool to make a simple adjustment.
