Frequently, web masters establish standards for graphic treatments, such as soft borders, drop shadows and maximum dimensions.
In StudioLine, the Image Prototype controls standards for pictures added in Page Editor mode. Pictures stay associated with the prototype! Any changes made to the prototype in the layout will propagate to all associated images on the page. However, it is possible to break the dependence of the prototype on a per-image basis.
The prototype picture is only a visual representation of all standard properties and tools that are in effect for this layout. It does not actually appear on the page.
Open a layout or layout template.
Select the image prototype.
Use the Edit menu to apply any image tools, or click the right mouse button over the prototype to access its context menu.
To define the maximum image dimensions, use the Scale (Absolute) tool.
Select an image in Page Editor.
Click the right mouse button over the image to access its context menu.
Select Independent of Prototype.
The same menu can be used to make an image dependent of the prototype again.
Once an image is independent of the prototype, its descriptors will be skipped when evaluating any placeholders used on a page.
