Resizing an Image

You can resize an image in Contributor using your mouse or using the image properties dialog.

Resizing Using the Mouse

To resize an image, perform these tasks:

1. Select the image so that it is displayed in a frame (Figure).

   Unselected and Selected Image

   
   

2. Click and drag any of the boxes of the frame to resize the image.

Resizing Using the Image Properties Dialog

You can also change the size of an image in the image properties dialog. See Changing the Properties of an Image.

Considerations

• Before you can add an image, the image must be checked into the content server (see Checking Images Into Content Server).

• Although you can view BMP files in the content server, you cannot add these to your web pages. You can use only GIF, JPEG, or PNG files.

• Only the images with the file extension .gif, .jpg, or .png and those checked in with Image as their "Website Object Type" appear on the search results page.

• The Insert Image option may be the only available option in Contributor, depending on how the site was set up.

• Alternatively, you could resize the image by changing its height and width in the image properties dialog (see Changing the Properties of an Image).

• If you use any drag handles other than the ones on corners, the aspect ratio of your image changes. You can use the icons to the right of the width and height fields on the image properties dialog to lock the aspect ratio of the image or reset the image to its original size (width and height).
