RE: changing photos after loading site. - 11/5/2002 11:29:45
Hi C1,
FP has a resize function. On the photo toolbar it' s the graphic with the four small arrows pointing in at the corners. But that' s only for the individual photos on a page.
Instead, right click on one of the photo galleries, select " photo gallery properties" and when the box comes up, select your photo then click the " edit" tab. This feature gives you the option of cropping or resizing. Try 575 pixels wide and " maintain aspect ratio" , save it and preview it to see if that' s about the size picture you want to display.
As far as the gap is concerned, you have placed a title and a caption for the photos in the photo gallery and it will produce that gap. In properties I eliminate the title and just do a caption.
Dave

How do I go about getting these into photo shop to resize them?
You just use file > open.
Here' s an interesting thing I' ve found about resizing photos on your hard drive, then uploading the resized photos hoping they overwrite the ones at the site.
When images are resized in another program, FrontPage doesn' t know this. So when they are uploaded again, they don' t overwrite the images already there.
Here' s one of the ways I approach this:
- Manually move the photos out of the webs Images folder, then resize them.
- Republish the web without the photos in the Images folder.
- After republishing, place the photos back in the Images folder and republish again.
A pain, and there may be a better way, but I don' t know it.
As an aside c1sissy, without going into all the technicalities, there is not necessarily a correlation between the size an image appears on a monitor and the actual physical size it may print out. Before doing any editing of a digital photo you should view it at 100%. You' ll be surprised at how big it can appear on a computer screen. Then adjust it to an acceptable visual size prior to uploading.
Hope some of this makes sense.
gail
[edit] note: do not change the image file names if you use the above method, and always put the images back in the same exact folder. ALSO, if you' re using FrontPage to generate the photo album it creates it' s own set of folders for images: one for the large pix and one for thumbnails. check it out.[/edit]

Cissy,
Take a look at www.members.cox.net/davelaird/trains.htm I don' t think you' re going to be able to get rid of that space between the photo and the caption. Unless you can adjust the thumbnail size in the photogallery properties to eliminate it, I suspect it' s probably just a default or built in buffer. You' ll notice that some of my thumbnails are not as " tall" as others and on those the space is greater. That' s what makes me think it' s not adjustable within FP.
Let me know if you can change it.
Dave

CiSissy,
I think Dave is right on this. In galleries where the original images are different sizes - spacing is off.
Only time I have not had a problem is when all the images are the exact size.

Dave:
[:p] Feel better now that I see that I can' t get rid of all of the space! wheww!! I seriously thought that I was doing something wrong.
I love your train pics. My boys were all train lovers. We would go to the Amish Country in Lancaster Pa just so that they could ride the trains up there. Ohio also had somewhere that you could ride the trains.
I' m still working away on the site. I put a different photo gallery on one of the pages just to see how it looks, however I' m not sure if this is how I want it or not. Still deciding.
Am working on the sizes of the pics and they are working out a bit better. Changed the font size and it looks a lot better!
Appreciate Gails help and yours. I' d be lost without it! Also appreciate the time that you are taking to help.

Gail, thanks for the help, i appreciate it. I' ll remember the resizing in photoshop. I know that it can be done in there and have done this just playing around with things. I guess it just slipped my mind in my zest to publish a page with front page!
