Hello,

I find it so quick and easy to open a jpeg in paint to re size to the pixel i need.

I have dreamweaver creative cloud.

How do I right click on a image in dreaweaver and open with paint, I cant find the option I don't know what to look for paint on my computer when it asks for me to browse

    Paint is a Windows Accessory.

    To launch it, go to Start and type Paint in the search bar. 

    Right-click on Paint icon and select  Open File Location. 

    That will show you the exact path on your system.

    Once you have the file path noted, go back to DW, Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors.  Click the plus sign over Editors and make Paint program your primary JPG editor.

      Thanks SO much!

      Going into paint is a quick way for me to re size to 125 x 125 pixels and save!

      DW has some basic image editing functions built in...

      1. Insert an image into Design View
      2. In the Properties window, make sure the lock icon is a closed lock next to the image's height/width (click it a few times to see the difference)
      3. Change the image's size by either clicking and dragging the handles in Design View, or entering a new height/width in the Properties window
      4. Click the Resample icon (small picture frame with circular arrow) in the Properties window
      5. DW will warn you that the change is permanent, click OK

      That's it, the image will now be resized to whatever pixel setting you've used, without having to open a new program.
