Resizing an image just means changing its appearance onscreen; the file size stays exactly the
same. To reduce a file size for an image, you need to scale it down in a graphics program such
as Fireworks or, once you??™ve resized it in Dreamweaver, click Resample in the Property inspector.
To resize an image in Dreamweaver, select the image and type the desired number of pixels in the Property
inspector??™s H (height) and W (width) fields. With Dreamweaver, you can also visually resize your graphics
by using the click-and-drag method. A selected image has three sizing handles located on the right, bottom,
and lower-right corners of its bounding box. Click any of these handles and drag it out to a new location??”
when you release the mouse, Dreamweaver resizes the image. To maintain the current height/width aspect
ratio, hold down the Shift key after starting to drag the corner sizing handle.
If you alter either the height or the width of an image, Dreamweaver displays the Property inspector values
in bold in their respective fields. You can restore an image??™s default measurements by clicking the H or the
W independently??”or you can click the Reset Size button to restore both values.
If you elect to enable your viewer??™s browser to resize your image on-the-fly using the
height/width values you specify, keep in mind that the browser is not a graphics-editing program
and that its resizing algorithms are not sophisticated.
