Image object size  en

Author: William J.

Hi, I have an image object I wish to use on a page but when I add it it is too big. How can I adjust the size? I.e. Make it smaller. At the moment it seems to take up the size of the cell.

thanks,

I use irfanview (free) to resize images (and never use an image greater than 1200px wide so as not to 'stress" WX5) but what are you trying to do?

Is it a page background, a cell background, a row formats image, an image as a picture,a picture in a text cell, etc, etc??

Please advise.

Hello William

yes - Irfanview would be a good choice.

Install the plugins also. Then you will have the option to "Save for web".

You can see how much it could mean using the "Save for web" here : http://calendarforum.dk/attachments.html

If you click on the two options 

then you can see the same image in the same resolution - but only 1/1000 size.

So - if you both resize to the size needed AND save for web ( compress ) then you will have images that performs well.

I always use Irfanview or Corel Photo Paint for images to be used on the web.

Kind regards

Hi folks, I should have made myself clearer lol.

I have checked the help file and from what I understand the image will "fill" the cell that it is in. However you can adjust the image size if you insert it into the template by clicking on it then dragging the handels to resize. 

Just to make things clear it is the size of the image on the web page not the file size of the pic that i am trying to adjust smile

John I do save the files for web with Affinity I am aware that I need to keep my file size (MB / KB ) down I try to keep mine between 300 / 600 kb

cheers

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

You can style the image-object. And you have to adjust the width of the object so you can keep the proportions.

If you want a small image, then the width of the object has to be small.

Kind regards
