Generating low source images
A low source image is a low-resolution version of an image that displays until the full-resolution image downloads. Low source images are particularly useful for Web audiences with low bandwidth and images with very large file sizes. You can either specify an existing low source image or have GoLive generate one for you.
To specify or generate a low source image: - In the Image Inspector, click the More tab.
- Select Low, and then do one of the following:
- Specify an existing low source image in the text box.
- Click Generate to create a low source image. To regenerate the low source image if the original image changes, also select Auto-update.
To change default settings for low source images: - Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or GoLive > Preferences (Mac OS).
- In the list on the left, expand General, and select Images.
- Select a default color mode: Color or Black and White.
- Do one of the following:
- Select Place in Same Folder as Source to store low-resolution images generated by GoLive in the same folder as the high-resolution source images.
- Select Place in Import Folder to store low-resolution images temporarily before you move them to the site folder.
- Select the Auto-Generate by Default option to instruct GoLive to automatically create a low-resolution copy of each image you import and add it to the page.
