There you can change how your pop-up appears. One option allows you to place a title above each
pop-up photo. Set the title for each photo using the Title field. You can also optionally show a caption
below each popup photo. Just set the Image Caption (Alt text) for the thumbnail on the same dialog.
See the popup photo section
of the Web Properties Dialog chapter for full details of the options available.
In Internet Explorer the Image caption ("ALT"-Text) will be also shown in a tooltip pop-up as you
mouse-over the image. To show different text, typically something like 'Click to enlarge' as you move
over the thumbnail image, go to the Mouse-over tab and set Show pop-up text to be Click to Enlarge
.
Photo Resolution - It's All Automatic!
When importing high resolution photos (anything above 1920 pixels either wide or high) into a web
document, Xara Web Designer 7 Premium automatically resizes the photo down to HD screen size
without asking you if you want to import a lower resolution version. For a web document, even at the
reduced size, there should be more than enough resolution in your photos for high quality results on your
website, so it's rarely necessary to import digital camera images at full resolution for web use.
However, if you are importing a large photo into a print or animation document, Xara Web Designer 7
Premium asks you if you want to import a lower resolution version of your photos. If your document is to
include many photos, you may want to choose this reduced resolution option. Otherwise with large
photos you may find that your saved design file is much bigger than it needs to be (because it contains a
copy of each of your photos) and you may not have enough memory in your computer to load, edit and
export your documents.
If you're not sure whether you will need the full resolution photo you can import the original photo and
then optimize it down later. To optimize a photo, right click on it and choose the Optimize option from
the context menu. Or you can optimize all the JPEG photos in your document at once, using "Utilities"
> "Optimize all JPEGs"
.
Web Designer Premium always stores the full resolution image (unless you chose to import reduced
resolution images when asked during import, as mentioned above). This means you can resize or crop
your image as required with no loss of quality. Web Designer Premium automatically converts all photos
into the correct resolution JPEG image when saving your website. You do not need to bother about dpi,
image size, pixels or anything like that. What you see in Web Designer Premium (at 100% zoom) is
exactly what will be produced on your web page.
If you want to size a photo, or any object, to a specific size, just enter the required size into the Selector
Tool
InfoBar width or height fields.
When you drop a photo on the page (assuming you're not replacing an existing photo), it's sized to be
500 pixels wide. But if you want this to be exactly 200 pixels wide, just enter 200pix into the W size field
of the Selector Tool
. You can enter it in any unit e.g. entering 2in will make it 2 inches wide.
