Cropping perfectly

[WarmingTheCurb]

When cropping images, how do you get them to be all the same size? For example, all the thumbnails here are exactly the same size.

Also, how do you get images to be placed right against the edge of the browser window? For example, the header on that page is right on the edge of the right side.

Thanks.

WarmingTheCurb, I'm don't really understand what you are asking, I can only assume that you mean in code?

If you are coding the webpage yourself, and I don't really know a huge amount about it, but i do know that if you want to remove the margin around your image you have to have something like this in the header code at the start of your body: leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 However, doing it exactly this way removes the margin from around all the image

and for your images, you just define the image size in your code if your not doing it in photoshop ie. you can have multiple sized images, and get them to display at the same size, but you have to take into account the proportions when reducing or enlarging the pic...

you can just do it in photoshop though, and tell the page to reference that image... if you have lots of pics you can "multicrop" by batching

Not sure if any of this helps [confused]

Where are those thumbnails?

You can make them all the same size when you use Image>ImageSize and fill in the values you want them to be.

When you want to take out a eye-catching detail, betteer than using the crop tool is taking the rectangular marquee (selection) tool, and setting it in the options bar to a fixed size. Then you can click on your image and, whilst holding the spacebar down, you can drag until you have the cutout you want. Let go of the spacebar and go to Image>crop.

next image PS will remember the selection size you entered. Even after closing PS.

As for the code: in your browser go to Image>Source and you can read the code.
In case of a frames page, you can install the Opera browser which has the option to see the code of frames also. Apart from this, Opera is much quicker than IE or netscape and works fine on some 80% of the sites and pages. The other 20% is because the site wasn't correctly coded, and Opera is a bit prudish for that.
