Images+and+Photos

Including images on your RWD web page adds interest and can help clarify a point you may be trying to make.

As with most tasks in RWD, there are a number of ways to achieve what you want. First of all, remember you must be using First Class to edit pages. To insert an image into the body of your page use ONE of the ways listed:)
 * 1) Drag and drop an image from your computer desktop onto the open RWD page.
 * 2) Click on the Insert drop-down button above the RWD document work space and select Image/File. Find the image on your computer, select it and press Open.
 * 3) Click on Edit (from the menu at the top of the screen) slide down to Insert and then across to Insert File... Find the image on your computer, select it and press Open.
 * 4) Use the shortcut keys: Mac: ⇧⌘T (Shift + Command + T) or on a PC: Shift + Ctrl + T

Your image will be placed at the point where you see the cursor flashing. You can reposition the image once it has been placed by clicking on it and dragging it to where you want it.

When including photos, images or graphics on a website, it is important that they be a web-friendly size! Images of a large file size take a long time to download and may cause problems with your website. A good size for a web image is 100 KB or less. To find out the size of an image, select the image then choose File>Get Info (or ⌘I). If you have an image that needs resizing, a n easy way to do it is to drag them into iPhoto, then export and choose 'small' sized in the export window.
