The Image Attributes dialog box enables you to choose an image for your web page and provides control to every aspect of the image placement process.
The dialog box contains the following sections:
To import an image, click the Import button. The Import dialog box will be displayed.
To create a new image using the built-in Graphic Editor, click the Create button. The Image Properties dialog box will be displayed. Set your image properties. Your image will be stored in a folder set as a default image folder of your site (by default, the Images folder).
To acquire an image from any of Twain data source compliant devices, click the Acquire...
button. The Acquire Images dialog box appears.
When more than one acquiring
device is active i.e. you acquire an image (or images) from another Twain data source
having left the previous one open, you get prompted with an error message about a software
conflict. To avoid this, close a currently opened dialog box or window first (if you
started to acquire an image through the dialog box). Then close one of the two Twain data
source boxes. Repeat acquiring again.
The Preview section enables you to preview a chosen image
or a layout of an image. There are two check boxes to switch between the two types of
previews.
Both previews are turned off when both check boxes are cleared.
Check the Preview Image box to preview a chosen image.
Check the Preview Layout box to see how an image will be displayed in your page
layout.
The Alternate Text section enables you to enter a text that will be displayed by a browser instead of an image if the browser cannot display it for some reason (during a download or if a website viewer has set his browser to ignore images). Check it and enter your text.
The Alignment section enables you to align your image on the page. You can align the image Horizontally or Vertically. The following types of alignment are available:
The Border section enables you to add a border around an image. Check the Border check box and enter a width value in pixels for the border.
If you want a browser to display an image stretched, click the Size check box. The Horizontal and Vertical controls let you set a new image size in pixels regarding the browser window.
To change spacing between a selected image and other components of your page, use the Horizontal and Vertical controls in the Space section. Check the Space check box and enter an appropriate value.
The Extra HTML button enables you to insert an extra HTML code into a current HTML tag. When you click on the button, the Extra HTML Tag Attributes dialog box is displayed where you can enter the extra tag attributes. You must be familiar with the HTML language to use this feature correctly.
Since an image
resource can be used several times while site designing, modifying Image Attributes
changes only visual appearance but does not affect properties of a physical
resource.
