Changing image properties

After you add an image to a page (see Adding an image to a page), you can change its properties. Image properties include image source, size, padding, alignment, border, and alternate text.

To change image properties:

  1. In your draft, select the image you want to modify, and do one of the following:
  2. Make changes as necessary to the following options:
Click the Browse button, and then select Images on My Computer or Images on Website, to change the image source. You can enter size in pixels or as a percentage of the original image size. You can enter size in pixels or as a percentage of the original image size. This option acts like an undo button for changes to image size. For example, if you double the height with this option enabled, then Contribute also doubles the width. If possible, do not change the width and height of your image or you might reduce its quality. If you must resize the image, it is a good idea to use an image-editing program such as Fireworks. The number you enter represents the amount of space on each side of the image. For example, if you select 4 pixels for Horizontal padding, then 4 pixels of empty space appears on the right of the image, and 4 pixels of space appears on the left of the image. The number you enter represents the amount of space above and below the image. For example, if you select 4 pixels for Vertical padding, then 4 pixels of empty space appears on top of the image, and 4 pixels of space appears below the image. When you select an alignment option, a graphic indicates how the image will align in relation to elements around the image.
  1. Click OK.
  2. Contribute applies your changes to the image.
