Editing an image

You can use Contribute to launch an external image-editing application. For information about setting or changing the external image editor, see Setting file editor preferences. Setting an image editor enables you to edit images that you’ve added to your web pages. The image you’re editing should be on a published page on your website or in one of your website folders.

To update the image on your website you should select it either in the draft or from the Images folder in your website. If you edit the image file you originally copied to your website from your computer, the changes you make to the original file will not appear on your website.

To edit an image in Contribute:

  1. In the Contribute browser, do one of the following:
  2. If you are editing an image in Fireworks, click No in the Find Source dialog box to indicate that you do not want to edit the source file for this image.
  3. By clicking No, you will edit the image for the website only.

  4. In the external application, make changes as necessary, then save your changes and close the application.
  5. Note: If you are editing in Fireworks, click the Done button in the editing window, then close the application.

  6. In Contribute, click Publish to publish your changes to the website.
  7. Note: If you need to make additional changes to the image before you publish, in Contribute click Launch to open the content in the external editor again.

    The updated content appears in Contribute.
