TOPIC F
Modifying a Photo Gallery
With a photo gallery in place, that doesn’t mean you are done. In fact, like any other Web
component in FrontPage, it’s quite likely that you will need to modify the gallery’s properties
or edit one of its photos. In this topic, you will learn how to do both of those possibilities.
Flexibility and convenience are the two most significant reasons to use a Photo Gallery Web
component. When you manually add, arrange, and edit pictures on a page, unless there’s a
decree from higher up, chances are you won’t want to make any changes. That’s because most
changes—especially layout-related ones—would be too difficult and time-consuming to do.
That’s not the case with the Photo Gallery Web component. With a few simple clicks, you can
make it look just how you want. And on top of that, the component conveniently provides just-
in-time access to some of the editing tools you would ordinarily find on the Pictures toolbar.
Modify a Photo Gallery
Procedure
Reference:
The true beauty of a photo gallery is being able to modify an existing one. You
can add, rearrange, and remove pictures. You can control how big FrontPage
will make the thumbnail images. You can even change which layout the com-
ponent uses.
On top of all that, you can even edit the individual pictures right from within
the Photo Gallery dialog box—change a picture’s size, rotation, and/or elimi-
nate portions of a picture. To modify a photo gallery Web component:
1
Double-click on the photo gallery you want to modify.
2
Make the desired changes to the gallery or the pictures it contains.
3
Click OK.
Cropping a
Picture
As we mentioned, the photo gallery Web component provides some picture
editing tools. One of those is the Crop tool. It allows you to display only the
part of a picture you want someone to see, omitting extraneous parts of the
picture.
