How to Quickly Tweak up your Images that are Placed in Web Page Templates
By: Stephen Condren
When working with templates for single shot images it is best to have a nice looking page for the image to be in. Rather than just have an image enlarge on a blank sheet with information typed below it, setting the image in a beautifully enclosed page that contains links to your Website is much more impressive.
There is a way to quick way to insert the images into the template and have them aligned with all sides of the template. Simply insert the image as usual into your template, this is the enlarged image that comes up when you pick the small icon image of it on the carpet page. When the image is inserted it will stretch out the boundaries of your template to the size of the image (which is of course way to large for the template).
Remember that you have designed the template to fit on the monitor screen so you want the template to remain that size and not the new size that the inserted image has stretched your template to. To get around this it is wise to insert a table of links into the template you have designed for the images. When you insert any image that stretches out the template boarders the table will not follow but remain the same size because it is not part of the boarder, it is placed in separately. The size of the table tells you where to push the image back to then the template boarder will follow suite.
When you are adjusting the image be aware that when you touch the lower right-hand corner the diagonal arrows appear that permit you to push the image in or out to make it small or large. You do not have the move the arrows along a diagonal line when pushing in or out. You can simply move the arrows straight to the right (usually) to fit up to the edge of the border. This is a much easier way to handle the scaling up and down of image to get them to be aligned with the border. Having to move the arrows along a diagonal is difficult.
I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago in Hyde Park Township, near the University of Chicago. As I child I was always drawing and painting. My father owned an art supply company, Favor Ruhl & Watson, where I was able to get all that I needed to progress in my work. I have always enjoyed portraiture and landscape painting. In High School (Naperville Central High School) I took Drafting from Mr. Pierce. I quickly grasped the principles of perspective and drafting and hence made a career with both Fine Art and Architectural Renderings. In the mid 1970's I joined the US Navy and was stationed on board the USS Midway, CV-41. The Midway was home ported in Yokosuka, Japan (A suburb of Tokyo). While in service I traveled all over Asia including such countries as Korea, China, Philippines, Singapore, Pakistan, Hong Kong, and Japan. While in Japan I learned Japanese. I speak German and Spanish as well. |  |
