Repairing my Photogallery

[JCO]

Actually it does not require repairing but here is the problem. All my
pictures are to big but already in a FrontPage photo gallery. I was using
the gallery that displays all thumbnails that allows you to select a
thumbnail which pops the large photo up. Now I changed each gallery to the
slideshow. When doing this, the pictures are way to big. I need to resize
all of them. I have info in the caption and description, therefore, I don't
want to loose that information.

How can I resize the photos with out messing everything up?
If I resize everything using my graphics too, FrontPage will not recognize
that it has changed. It seems the only way to get it to recognize it is to
remove the photo, then re-add the new sized photo. This will loose the
caption and description. How do I do this?

Make your graphics tool the default image editor "In" FrontPage.
Then open your web in FrontPage. Then edit the images by right clicking on them and
selecting "open with" and selecting your image editor from the list, when you save them,
FrontPage will know they've been changed.

I'm not sure how to make it the default tool.

Okay I figured out how to do this. I made photo editor the default for gif
and jpg.
Then, in FP, I did open with and resized the photo. The photo gallery still
shows the big picture.
What did I do wrong?

I'm able to edit it using the photo gallery editor. It asks how large you
want the output photos to be. This seems to work fine. Is this the wrong
way to do this?

I'm on dial up tonight and the page is taking far too long to load. The
Flash component is too large. You don't want your home page to take that
much time.... many will leave after about 20 seconds at the most. Your
banner image is repeating .... ??

Hi,

"I'm able to edit it using the photo gallery editor. It asks how large you
want the output photos to be. This seems to work fine. Is this the wrong
way to do this?"

This should be correct. There are two different types of image size here.
The physical image size and html image display size in FrontPage. When you
select image and click Edit in FrontPage photo gallery properties. The size
here is the html image display size. You can click reset to make it the
same as the image's natural size.

Right, I managed to edit the html display size. I guess this is okay, if
what you say is true... that you can restore to the original size. But it
seems to have edited the photos because I had to re-save them. Hopefully if
I have to restore to original size, the photos won't be blurry.

I just don't see the connection... by setting the default graphics editor to
PhotoEditor. That seems to have no impact on Frontpage.

Thanks.

Don't ask FrontPage to go near any of your images! The results will be less
than perfect every time. You've been talking about resizing but you haven't
mentioned optimizing.................. and that's the most important part.
Do all you image editing outside of FrontPage and then start over using the
new, properly resized and optimized images. Here's an article for you to
ponder:

That brings me back to my original question.
All my photos have a text write up. Is there a way to replace the image
with out loosing the text that is written.
It appears that there is not a way to do so.

Well I suppose you could keep that Gallery Page just long enough to copy and
paste the captions out of it. The best thing to do is not use the Gallery
component that comes with FP!!!

Yeah, that's what I figured. Okay, thanks

So if I (eventually) stop using the gallery, what is the best way to display
the product?

 

[WenJun Zhang[msft]]

Hi JCO,

IMHO, I don't recommend you to stop using the gallery control. Otherwise
there can be lots of additional and manual works to do to implement the
same function.

Have a nice weekend!
