Adding and copying Smart Objects
Adding Smart Objects
To optimize images for standard web graphics, add Smart Photoshop , Smart Illustrator , Smart PDF , or
Smart Generic objects. The Smart Generic object supports source files in the following formats: BMP, PCX, Pixar,
Amiga IFF, TIFF, TARGA, PDF, EPS, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, and PICT (Mac OS only).
To optimize images for a browser’s Favorites or Bookmarks menu, use the Smart Favorite icon . (See “Head
section elements” on page 164.)
To add Smart Objects to pages
1 From the Smart set in the objects toolbox, drag a Smart Photoshop , Smart Illustrator , Smart
Generic , or Smart PDF object to the Layout Editor.
2 In the Smart Image Inspector, specify a file for the image.
You can also add a Smart Object by dragging a Smart Object-compatible file to the Layout Editor.
3 Do one of the following:
• For Smart Photoshop, Illustrator, or Generic objects, set optimization options in the Save For Web dialog box.
• For Smart PDF objects, click the Rotate Left button or the Rotate Right button if needed. Then navigate
to the desired page and click its thumbnail. (See “To navigate to a specific page or set of pages” on page 395.)

To add Smart Objects to CSS styles
If you use images in CSS backgrounds and lists, automate your workflow by optimizing Smart Objects in the site
window; then reference the target file in the CSS editor. If you revise the source file in the future, GoLive can
automatically reoptimize the target file and update styles that contain it.
1 In the Extras tab of the site window, select the source file in the Smart Objects folder.
2 In the Smart tab of the File Inspector, click Create Smart Object.
Alternatively, drag the source file from the Extras tab to the Files tab.
