Not only must the graphic work in the context
of the entire page, but you also have to take the file size of the Web graphic into account. All these factors
mean that most, if not all, images require some degree of modification after they??™re included in a Web page.
Dreamweaver??™s Optimize Image command facilitates this modification by opening the Export module of
Fireworks right from within Dreamweaver??”which has the same functionality as the Image Preview dialog

Dreamweaver??™s Optimize Image command can modify either the source file or the exported file. In most situations,
better results are achieved by using the source file, especially when optimizing includes rescaling or
resampling. Some situations, however, require that you leave the source file as is and modify only the
