Placing images using the mouse also lets you size the image proportionally
by dragging. You can use ALT to size the image nonproportionally
while dragging.

bitmap editing, bits and pixels refer to one unit of an image.
A pixel (from "picture element") is a single, digital
square that is arranged with other pixels on grids that combine
to form an image. Computer images are created as an array of pixels,

Normal slightly blurs the edges and curves of your image, giving it a more smooth appearance.
Super-Sampling increases then decreases
the resolution of your image to smooth jagged edges. As a result,
it is more time consuming and memory intensive than the Normal
anti-aliasing option, but also provides better results.

PostScript is not the only method for sending instructions
to a printer, and some printers are not compatible with PostScript;
however, there are several functions that are unavailable if you
are not using the PostScript printer language. For example, without
PostScript, you cannot adjust color separations and halftone screens.
To ensure that halftoned bitmaps look good, each
bitmap's resolution, measured in dots per inch (dpi), should be
no less than twice the halftone screen frequency, measured in
lines per inch (lpi). For example, if you are using a 150 lpi
screen, each bitmap should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
Spot color uses a different ink for each color and
each color requires its own color separation.
Interlacing is a method of having a downloading image
appear onscreen initially at low resolution. As the image continues
to download the resolution improves. This lets users see the image
and decide if they want to view the whole page or cancel the download.
