Toggle Size Constrain

I have used a third party tool to resize some images. I ran one pass to set a max width of 400px with the proportions kept relative. I ran a second pass to set a max height of 450px which only affected any portrait images. In any viewer all images look fine.

My understanding is that if an image has been resized within DreamWeaver and is not showing at its full size, then the sizes are shown in bold in Properties. It used then to be possible to click an icon so that it would be shown full size.

When I put them into DreamWeaver 2017 the images are thus being displayed at their new full size. However, the size shows in bold and there is only a Toggle Size Constrain icon, the Reset Size icon does not display.

As the images are full size, why is the size showing in bold type implying they are not.

Also, I tried to search the online help. I can find the DreamWeaver help but the only search appears to cover all products. I couldn't see a way to search Toggle Size Constrain in DreamWeaver only.

    Correct answer pziecina

    Dreamweaver reads the meta data in order to get the height and width data. Depending on what has been done in the 3rd party tool to the image, it may be that the meta data has not been updated correctly.

    To check this, open the images causing the problems in Photoshop and view the height and width, by selecting 'info'.

    Bizarrely and without me changing anything, next time I opened DreamWeaver, the font was normal rather than bold.

    I am curious about the Toggle Size Constrain icon as clicking it seems to do nothing.

    Also is there a way of searching just DreamWeaver's help?

    Thanks for you reply.
