Set the width and height of the image placeholder, in pixels.
Specifies the source file for the image. For a placeholder image, this text box is empty. Click the Browse button to select a replacement
image for the placeholder graphic.
Specifies a hyperlink for the image placeholder. Drag the Point-to-File icon to a file in the Files panel, click the folder icon to browse to
a document on your site, or manually type the URL.
Specifies alternative text that appears in place of the image for text-only browsers or for browsers that have been set to download
images manually. For visually impaired users who use speech synthesizers with text-only browsers, the text is spoken out loud. In some
browsers, this text also appears when the pointer is over the image.
Starts Fireworks to create a replacement image. The Create button is disabled unless Fireworks is also installed on your computer.
When the web image (that is, the image on the Dreamweaver page) is out of sync with the original Photoshop file,
Dreamweaver detects that the original file has been updated, and displays one of the Smart Object icon’s arrows in red. When you select the
web image in Design view and click the Update from Original button in the Property inspector, the image updates automatically, reflecting any
changes that you made to the original Photoshop file.
Specifies a color for the image placeholder.
Edit images in Dreamweaver
You can resample, crop, optimize, and sharpen images in Dreamweaver. You can also adjust their brightness and contrast.
Image-editing features
Dreamweaver provides basic image-editing features that let you modify images without having to use an external image-editing application such
as Fireworks or Photoshop. The Dreamweaver image-editing tools are designed to let you easily work with content designers responsible for
creating image files for use on your website.
You do not need to have Fireworks or other image-editing applications installed on your computer to use the Dreamweaver image-editing
features.
Select Modify > Image. Set any of these Dreamweaver image-editing features:
Adds or subtracts pixels from a resized JPEG and GIF image files to match the appearance of the original image as closely as
possible. Resampling an image reduces its file size and improves download performance.
When you resize an image in Dreamweaver, you can resample it to accommodate its new dimensions. When a bitmap object is resampled,
pixels are added to or removed from the image to make it larger or smaller. Resampling an image to a higher resolution typically causes little
loss of quality. Resampling to a lower resolution, however, always causes data loss and usually a drop in quality.
Edit images by reducing the area of the image. Typically, you’ll want to crop an image to place more emphasis on the subject of the
image, and remove unwanted aspects surrounding the center of interest in the image.
Modifies the contrast or brightness of pixels in an image. This affects the highlights, shadows, and midtones of an
image. You typically use Brightness/Contrast when correcting images that are too dark or too light.
