The Bitmap Gallery
The Document handling chapter
has general information about galleries.
The Bitmap Gallery
shows all the bitmaps or photos used in any document, along with information about its pixel size and file
size.
You can open it by clicking it in the Galleries bar, or from within the "
Utilities" > "Galleries"
menu, or "F11".
This shows the Bitmap Gallery
for the above document, and shows the original JPEG image of the girl which is embedded into the
native .web file. As mentioned above, all copies of this image are displayed directly from the one master,
so only the single image is shown and not all four variants that appear on the page.
The following useful information is displayed about the original image:
Filename of the original JPEG
The file type, in this case a JPEG, and the file size, 1,006K. (This is the original size of the file,
and also how much of the .web file will be taken up by this image.)
The pixel dimensions of the original, the Megapixel size (in this case just under 2MP)
The color depth, in this case "24 bit" which is sometimes called true color.
The original resolution of the image, in these cases 96dpi
The Bitmap Gallery
always contains a default bitmap, with the gray default image. This is used as the default bitmap for
bitmap fills and in cases where other bitmaps are missing. It's useful to have as a placeholder as well.
As with all galleries, you can drag the objects from the gallery onto the page to create a new copy. Or
you can select an image in the gallery and click one of the buttons across the top. The following section
details the operation of the Bitmap Gallery
controls, most of which are for the more advanced user.
