Picture quality

[SAC]

I'm importing pictures and it seems like the quality isn't as good as it
could be.

What do I need to do to make the best quality pictures on a site?

Thanks.

How are you importing them, just using the File > Import and then inserting
them into the page? I ask because some people try pasting them into a web
page from another application and this doesn't lead to the best quality as
FrontPage edits the photo in this case and it just wasn't designed for it
like a true photo editor like PhotoShop would be.

One of the things to keep in mind, normal photos used in web sites are a
much lower dpi than what we would want for a photo to use for print
purposes. For example, most photos on the web are 96 or 72 dpi. A good photo
that we would put into the family album is more like 600 dpi, which is a
much better picture than what is useful for the web.

Don't use FP to import pictures.

Drag and drop or copy and paste into folder view.

I had trouble after dragging and dropping them because FP didn't recognize
their existence so I was told to import them in FP.

How can I handle it if I drag and drop them and then FP doesn't "see" them
in the folder?

Thanks.

I was importing them with FP, but Steve'd message suggests that will not
make the best quality and when I have dragged and dropped them sometimes FP
doesn't recognize their existence.

Seems FP still has it's quirks, but I'd like to learn how to use it better.

Thanks for your help.

Importing from a location on your hard drive into your web (such as images
folder) will work just fine. Then, you insert on a page and save.

Also, do not use FP to resize the image by dragging the image box, use
a dedicated image program to resize the images before you pull them
into the web folder...
