To change the
way your images appear on your PixMatrix web page, choose the ‘Modify image’
button. This will open a new window with a list of your selected images on
the left. The image download time and assorted editing tools are located on
the right. By double clicking on an image, you can automatically open
the 'Modify image' window with the image selected.
To change the size of a
single image, single click on the image you want to modify. Under the
‘Size’ tab, use the slider to make the images smaller or larger depending
upon your preference. To resize all of the images, use the ‘Select all’
button found under the list of images. Smaller images mean faster download
times.
Similarly, to change the
quality of an image select the ‘Compress’ tab and use the slider tool as
previously described. By reducing the quality, you reduce the clarity and
file size of an image allowing for faster downloads.
Each of the images can be
rotated to the left, right, top and bottom using the ‘Rotate’ tab.
To adjust the brightness of a
images, choose the ‘Brightness’ tab and adjust your images according to your
preference.
When you are through with
these steps, press ‘OK’ to close the window and return to your modified web
page.
You may also
create small images called ‘thumbnails’ that link to larger images. This is
useful when you have a large number of images to display but do not want a
lengthy download time. To create thumbnail images, press the ‘Use
thumbnails’ button. Your images will automatically be converted to
thumbnail images with instructions to click on the image for a larger
version of the image. You may edit both the thumbnail and images to which
they link from the ‘Modify images’ window by selecting the ‘View list of
large images’ or ‘View list of thumbnail images’ buttons.
To undo the
thumbnail version of your images, press the ‘Use thumbnail’ button and your
originally modified images will be restored.
In addition to
the methods previously shown, there are ways to manipulate the tables and
images directly on the page. The original table size of each template can
be changed by clicking on the table border. Small white boxes will appear
on the top, sides, and bottom. To change the table size, select one of
these boxes and, holding down your left mouse key, drag the table to resize
it. This same action can also be applied to the images. Simply click on
the image and use the small white boxes that appear to resize the image.
Both images and
text can be deleted from the page. For text, highlight the section you want
to delete and press the ‘Delete’ key on your computer keyboard. Images can
be deleted by single clicking on them then pressing the delete key.
By double
clicking on image, you can automatically open the ‘Modify image’ window with
the image selected.
