340 Chapter 14: Adding images and multimedia Pre-optimized images Choosing between pre-optimized images and Smart Objects GoLive offers two primary methods for adding images. You can add pre-optimized images, which you optimize for the web in another application. Or, for maximum control and versatility, you can add Smart Objects, which you optimize in GoLive. Pre-optimized images and Smart Objects share many features, such as rollovers and image maps.
ADOBE GOLIVE CS2 341 User Guide Resizing pre-optimized images You can resize pre-optimized images to change the design of a page. Before doing so, however, note the following considerations: • If you shrink a pre-optimized image, your page still references the unnecessarily large image file, resulting in inefficient use of bandwidth. • If you enlarge a pre-optimized image, it will appear pixelated.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2 369 User Guide Web graphics formats and options Comparing web graphics formats Web graphics formats fall into two categories: bitmap and vector. The bitmap formats—GIF, JPEG, PNG, and WBMP—describe artwork as a series of colored dots called pixels.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2 370 User Guide SWF The Macromedia® Flash™ (SWF) file format is a vector-based graphics file format for the creation of scalable, compact graphics for the web. Since the file format is vector-based, the artwork maintains its image quality at any resolution and is ideal for the creation of animation frames. (See “Setting optimization options for SVG and SWF files” on page 382.) SVG SVG is a vector format that describes images as shapes, paths, text, and filter effects.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2 658 User Guide • (Illustrator and InDesign) Turn on Overprint Preview to get an accurate and consistent preview of spot colors. • (Illustrator and InDesign) Use Lab values (the default) to display predefined spot colors (such as colors from the TOYO, PANTONE, DIC, and HKS libraries) and convert these colors to process colors.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2 660 User Guide Color-managing documents for online viewing Color-managing documents for online viewing Color management for online viewing is very different from color management for printed media.

ADOBE GOLIVE CS2 664 User Guide If you select a PostScript printer, you can take advantage of PostScript color management.
