WARNING!
Working with Images
Constrain The constrain feature lets you determine if an image’s height and
width can be adjusted independently. Typically, you want Constrain
on, as shown below.
In this state, if one dimension is adjusted, the other is automatically
adjusted in proportion to it. For example, if you change the height
from 100 to 200, the width is also doubled.
To turn Constrain off, click it. When you do, it looks like this.
When Constrain is off, the adjusted picture can be disproportionate,
as shown below.
If you substantially adjust the picture’s height and/or width, the picture may be
distorted when users view your Web page.
A pixel is a single point in a graphic image.
Computer monitors display pictures by dividing the screen into
thousands of pixels, arranged in rows and columns. The pixels are
so close together that they appear connected.
Below is an image shown at regular size and then enlarged so you
can see the pixels that make up the picture.
