Dreamweaver- how to prepare photos for a gallery? |
Im a beginner at Dreamweaver. I want to make a photo gallery on my personal website. I have the photos, but the file sizes are very large. What things do I need to change to make it ready for the photo gallery- like pixel size, or resolution? And, should I do this in Photoshop or Dreamweaver? Thanks everyone for your help! Install fireworks which should be in the same CD with dreamweaver Do this Optimizing and Exporting The ultimate goal in web graphic design is to create great-looking images that download as fast as possible. To do that, you must select a file format with the best compression for your image while maintaining as much quality as possible. This balancing act is optimization--finding the right mix of color, compression, and quality. Exporting graphics from Macromedia Fireworks 8 is a two-step process: First, you prepare a document or individual sliced graphics for export by selecting optimization settings and comparing previews to determine an acceptable balance between quality and file size. Second, you export (or in some cases, save) the document or individual sliced graphics using export settings suitable for their destination on the web or elsewhere. If you are new to optimizing and exporting web graphics, you can use the Export Wizard. The wizard guides you through the export process and suggests settings. It also displays the Image Preview, where you can optimize a document as part of the export process. If you are comfortable with the tasks of optimizing and exporting graphics, you鈥檒l want to use the other tools available in Fireworks for optimizing and exporting. For optimizing, you use the Optimize panel and the preview buttons in the Document window. They offer you greater control over the optimization process. For exporting, you use the Export dialog box or the Quick Export button. In some cases, you can simply save the graphic without exporting. For more information, Dreamweaver can resize your photos automatically if you already have fireworks installed. All you have to do is first create a new HTML document in dreamweaver. Then go to the COMMANDS menu and select CREATE WEB PHOTO ALBUM From there you'll get a pretty straight froward dialog box that lets you specify a Name for the new album, select the source folder of the image, the destination folder, thumbnail size, number of columns in the album, thumbnail format, and new image format, and the % to scale down the new photos. For photographs I strongly suggest the jpg format. Good luck |
