Image Captions
You can optionally show a caption below each pop-up photo. Enter the caption text in this field in the
Image Tab.
Note that this feature works on objects other than photos, such as shapes and groups, but can't be used
directly on text. You can put text inside a group (Ctrl+G) to work around this restriction.
For those familiar with HTML, this text is also used as the "ALT" text on the image that is exported for
the currently selected object, whether or not the image also has a pop-up. Web browsers show this text
on the page in place of the image, if the image can't be obtained for some reason.
Web image type
Due to the nature of HTML websites, most objects you see and can select on the page in Web Designer
MX Premium have to be converted to bitmap images during the process of exporting your website. This
all happens automatically for you when you preview and export, but the controls on this tab give you
some control over how these images are created.
Remember that each group, shape, heading, logo, photo, panel background, etc. is exported as a
separate image. By looking at how the objects in your design are grouped, you can control how many
images are exported to make up your website. So for example if you have 2 separate shapes in your
design which are not grouped together, they will be exported as 2 separate images. You can group the
two shapes (Ctrl+G) and then a single image is exported instead.
This section of the Image Tab lets you specify how the currently selected object should be exported as
an image. By default Web Designer MX Premium will decide for you. This means that normally photos
will be exported as JPEG (which is usually the best format for photos) and other objects as PNG (which
is usually best for graphics). Photos which have been rotated on the page, or which have a
semi-transparent shadow applied, are exported as PNG because JPEG does not support transparency.
You can force the selected object(s) to export as a JPEG or as a PNG, by selecting the appropriate
option. When the JPEG option is selected, you can also choose the JPEG quality to be used for that
