Ulead PhotoImpact 8.0 - Web Components
PhotoImpact is an all-in-one solution for digital imaging. It places a wealth of tools at your fingertips for everything you need for the design of Web page graphics and image editing. When designing Web page components, please remember HCISD web pages should be designed to fit within the standard District screen resolution to avoid having to scroll left-to-right and therefore should be no more than 700 pixels wide.
Web Component & Background Designer
Web Component objects typically serve as navigational or other standard elements on a Web page – bullets, banners, buttons, icons and separators. The Component Designer in the Web Menu contains a large selection of preset components that you can customize and use in your Web project.
Image Optimization refers to the process of compressing image file sizes to make them appropriately reduced for Web pages, resulting in faster load times. Files can be optimized in any one of the three standard formats for the Web: .jpg, .gif and .png. However, .jpg and .gif are the HCISD standard. Each image type or format has its own characteristics and is suitable for different types of images.
