Software help - Images for the Web
Images
used on the Web should be edited to ensure they display correctly and meet
accessibility guidelines. This involves
changing an image to the correct dimension and reducing the file size
before the image is added to a Web page.
Images must be edited with a software package that has been designed for this purpose. The instructions on this Web site are for Paint.NET, an excellent free application developed by Washington State University.
Paint.NET has broad functionality. Instruction on this Web site is focussed on how to use Paint.NET to edit images for the Web. Some of the basic editing tools are discussed in this context. Information about additional functionality can be found in Paint.NET Help.
Instruction on preparing images for the Web can be accessed by clicking the links in the navigation list on the left of the screen. Please start with the first link for information about installing Paint.NET on your PC and then work sequentially through the links to each step.
