• Click Save Multiple to save multiple resolution versions of the image. The PSD file need not necessarily

contain these versions; Dreamweaver can save the image in multiple resolutions during extraction.

You can specify the required resolution versions and the corresponding output folder in Preferences ( ).

• Drag the image into the Live View of your document. Live Guides appear in the Live View to help you position

the image.

When you drop the image, Dreamweaver displays the name of the image. You can not only edit the name of the

image, but also the extension, and press Enter to save the image. The image is saved in the site root folder by default.

To save the image in a custom location, enter the path along with the filename.
