WebPlus Essentials User Guide - Serif

170 Images, Animation, and Multimedia
You can also acquire images directly from PhotoCDs or via TWAIN devices
(scanners or digital cameras).
Inserting images
There are several ways to bring an image into WebPlus. You can drag a file
from an external Windows folder directly onto your page, drag a thumbnail from
WebPlus's Media Bar (see p. 174), paste from the pasteboard, or import an
image as a file via a dialog.
• Detached images float freely on a page, while inline images are
incorporated with the text flow in a text object.
• Embedded images become part of the WebPlus site, while linking
places a reference copy of the image on the page and preserves a
connection to the original file. Each approach has its pros and cons
(see Embedding vs. Linking on p. 173).
WebPlus lets you place your image onto the page at its original size. The image
will be uncropped by default but you have the option to crop the image, and
adjust the image's picture frame properties with respect to image positioning and
scaling within the picture frame.
To add an image from the Media Bar:
• Drag an image thumbnail onto the page from the currently displayed
album(s) shown in WebPlus's Media Bar (expand the Media Bar from
the bottom of your workspace). You can also drag onto an existing
image to replace it.
To import an image from a file:
1. (Optional) If you want to place the image inline, click for an insertion
point in a text object. For a detached image, make sure text objects are
deselected.
2. In the main window:
• Click the Import Picture... button on the Standard Objects
toolbar's Picture flyout.
In WritePlus:
• Choose Picture File... from the Insert menu.
