Note:
Copy and paste a selection from Photoshop
You can copy all or some of a Photoshop image and paste the selection into your Dreamweaver page as a web-ready image. You can copy a
single layer or a set of layers for a selected area of the image or you can copy a slice of the image. When you do this, however, Dreamweaver
does not create a Smart Object.
While the Update from Original functionality is not available for pasted images, you can still open and edit the original Photoshop file by
selecting the pasted image and clicking the Edit button in the Property inspector.
1. In Photoshop, do one of the following:
Copy all or part of a single layer by using the Marquee tool to select the portion you want to copy, and then choose Edit > Copy. This
copies only the active layer for the selected area into the clipboard. If you have layer-based effects, they are not copied.
Copy and merge multiple layers by using the Marquee tool to select the portion you want to copy, and then choose Edit > Copy Merged.
This flattens and copies all the selected area’s active and lower layers into the clipboard. If you have layer-based effects associated with
any of these layers, they are copied.
Copy a slice by using the Slice Select tool to select the slice, and then choose Edit > Copy. This flattens and copies all the slice’s active
and lower layers into the clipboard.
You can choose Select > All to quickly select all of an image for copying.
2. In Dreamweaver (Design or Code view), place the insertion point on your page where you want the image inserted.
3. Select Edit > Paste.
4. In the Image Optimization dialog box, adjust optimization settings as needed and click OK.
5. Save the web-ready image file to a location within your website’s root folder.
Dreamweaver defines the image according to your optimization settings and places a web-ready version of your image in your page. Information
Dimensions of web image are different
from selected HTML width and height The width and height attributes in the
HTML code are different from the
width and height dimensions of the
web image that Dreamweaver created
upon insertion. If the web image’s
dimensions are smaller than the
selected HTML width and height
values, the web image can appear
pixelated. Use the Update From Original button
in the Property inspector to re-create
the web image from the original
Photoshop file. Dreamweaver uses the
currently specified HTML width and
height dimensions when it re-creates
the image.
Dimensions of original asset are too
small for selected HTML width and
height The width and height attributes in the
HTML code are larger than the width
and height dimensions of the original
Photoshop file. The web image can
appear pixelated. Don’t create web images with
dimensions larger than the dimensions
of the original Photoshop file.
Original asset not found Dreamweaver cannot find the original
Photoshop file specified in the Original
text box of the Property inspector. Correct the file path in the Original text
box of the Property inspector, or move
the Photoshop file to the location that’s
currently specified.
