One shot to make your images?

And to be clear: Keep your original image as a master file, and don't resize that. Once resized, you can't undo without destroying the image.

Then save out/export copies from that master file, resized to whatever you want.

I was instructed that a photo has to be made web suitable in order to use the file in code.

Yes, that's correct.

In other words, save the image file using Photoshop at the final size (in pixels) required for the website.

Don't resize images using Dreamweaver and/or HTML code.

My question is do I only have one chance to enter a file for an image? It seems that once I have Dreamweaver searching for a file, if I want to change the dimensions of the image I can in Photoshop. But Dreamweaver will only find the image in the original Export As file. Am I seeing this right?

I'm a little lost on this part of your question and why you seem to think you only have one chance to enter a file for an image.

As Michelle has thoroughly explained, you can resize your image as many times as you like. Then re-link it in Dreamweaver.

Hi!

The short answer is n0--you are not limited to one shot. You can change the file in Photosohop anytime you need, and then in Dreamweaver point to the new file. How are you coding Drreamweaver to search for the file? Are you working in Code view, or Design view? Is the image being called up as a query or are you hard coding the image name in your file?

When I've created images for the web, I usually store them in an images folder inside my Dreamweaver site folder. When using Design view, all I had to do, was in the Properties panel, with the image source field, navigate to that image in the images folder, and it would automatically populate the page. Then if the image wasn't the right size, I could go back to Photoshop and resave the correct image into the same folder. Then from the properties panel again, I could select the new image.

If you change your image, you can save it with the same file name, and it shoul automatically replace the image in your imageas folder in Dreamweaver. If you are concerned about that, then save it with a new file name and then relink it using the Properties panel.

So the short answer again is you can change the image whenever and however you want as long as you relink it.
