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.

      Funny, I know it can be done in DW but I've never had much faith in the image re-sampling.  I guess that's why I always use a dedicated graphics app instead.

      I've never really used them either, but not for lack of trust.

      For the things DW can actually do with images, I've typically already done those things well before placing the images in DW.
