Resizing pre-optimized images
You can resize pre-optimized images to change the design of a page. Before doing so, however, note the following considerations: - If you shrink a pre-optimized image, your page still references the unnecessarily large image file, resulting in inefficient use of bandwidth.
- If you enlarge a pre-optimized image, it will appear pixellated.
When you change the size of an image, GoLive displays a resize warning icon on top of the image to warn you that the image may have an unnecessarily large file size and is not displayed at its optimum resolution. You can restore the image to its original proportions by clicking the Set to Original Size button in the Image Inspector. If you often resize images, use Smart Objects for maximum flexibility. For more information, see Resizing Smart Objects.
To resize an image disproportionately: - Select the image in the Layout Editor.
- In the Image Inspector, click the Basic tab.
- From the Width and Height menus, choose Pixel or Percent, and then enter new values.
To resize an image and constrain proportions: - In the Basic tab of the Image Inspector, choose Image from either the Width menu or the Height menu.
- Choose Pixel from the pop-up menu for the remaining size attribute (Width or Height).
- Type a value in the Width or Height text box, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
