Digital Photos

Presenting digital photos on a web can be achieved in several ways. Two of the common ways are with Auto thumbnails (see below) or with a FrontPage photo gallery.

Process your digital photos to a size of 640 pixels wide and save them as JPGs. Making a photo 640 pixels wide will allow the photo to fit onto the computer screen. There is no reason to send a photo larger then the web browser screen. For this reason, you should reduce your photos to 640 pixels wide.

Steps to Auto Thumbnail

  1. Resize your photos to 640 pixels wide and save as a JPG image in your images folder.
  2. Insert the picture onto the web page.
  3. Display your PICTURE TOOLBAR. (View toolbars, pictures)
  4. With the picture on the web page and now selected, click the AUTO THUMBNAIL button in the picture toolbar. (3rd button in from the left)
  5. A small thumbnail will be created AND a hyperlink will be created to the larger 640 pixel wide picture.
  6. Save your page and notice the SAVE EMBEDDED FILES dialog box.  Save into the IMAGES folder.
  7. Also notice the SMALL.jpg file that was created. This is the thumbnail image for the larger photo.
  8. Continue to add photos and build your page.
