You will notice that near the Browse button, when you are in Edit Page mode, there are a number of pull-down menus providing tools for shrinking images, placing a border round images, aligning the image with any text in the same article, and making the image and/or it's caption into a link.
Browse
To upload an image to your page, choose Edit Page. Make sure you have a template that includes images.
You will see a Browse button is part of each Article. Click Browse to open up a hard disc or network directory window. Find the image file you wish to load. Double click the filename to put it on your page.
Preparation
Your images need to be in web-readable formats - that is JPG or GIF (still or animated). The take2theweb system will also accept BMP and TIFF format images, and convert them to JPG or GIF format. You can use the Shrink Image tool (see below), but you might find files upload to our system more quickly (particularly if you are not using broadband) if you scale the image to the final size you want it to display on screen before you Browse for it. You can do this with most digital camera or scanner software, with any version of Photoshop (including Elements, the lowest priced and friendliest version), with Apple Works (supplied with most Apple Mac computers), and also with the excellent and free downloadable utility called Irfanview.

How to prepare your images.
Shrink Image
This shrinks the image chosen using the Browse button to one of three fixed sizes - providing that the original image is larger than the size you have chosen to shrink it down to, of course. The aspect ratio (relationship betwen height and width) of the image is preserved, so the longer of the two dimensions of the image is used as the determining factor - the height in the case of portrait-style images, and the width in the case of landscape-style images.
The three sizes are:
large ......... 550 pixels
medium ..... 249 pixels
small ........ 125 pixels
The take2theweb system shrinks files intelligently, and creates an optimised image for screen display. It discard the redundant data, so you should retain your original image file on your hard disc or network, in case you want to use it in a different size at some future time.
Align image
This menu allows you to choose how the image will be aligned with the text that you have pasted or typed into the associated text box. Left Wrap and Right Wrap are the most commonly used, but try out all the options and choose the one best suited for the page you are creating.
Image effect This pull down menu allows you to choose from a number of borders that the take2theweb system will automatically apply to the image when you Save and View. Note that if you want to change the choice of border at a later stage you will have to also click the Browse button and identify the original image file on your hard disc or network.
Remove and replace
If you want to delete an image from a page, click the appropriate Remove button, then Save. To replace an existing image with another, click the Browse button, and load a new image in the same position.
image caption An optional caption box - the caption will appear below the image. The pull down menu box to the right allws you to set the justification of the caption. The Global setting means that the setting chosen in the Edit Style section will apply.
To see your images, on your page, click Save & View.
Go to Set style.
