Importing Photos
Web Designer MX Premium supports a very wide range of photo or bitmap types including JPEG,
PNG, TIFF and RAW digital camera images, as well as many more types. The term "bitmap" is the
general term encompassing all types, but interchangeable with the word "photo".
The easiest way to open an image is to drag the photo or bitmap file from your Windows file explorer
onto the Web Designer Premium Window. Or you can select the "File" > "Open" or Import
menu options.
When importing high resolution photos (anything above 1920 pixels either wide or high) into a web
document (including presentation documents), Web Designer MX 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 an animation document, Web Designer MX 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 drag and drop onto an existing photo it will be replaced. Drop onto the background to import as a
stand-alone photo.
Replacing photos
If you drag and drop a a photo file (from Windows Explorer or from the Bitmap Gallery) onto an
existing photo it will replace that photo, but keep the same container or frame size. This makes it very
easy to replace photos on templates. You can use the Fill Tool to adjust the size, position and angle of
