Use a tracing image
You
can use a tracing image as a guide to re‑create a page design that
was created in a graphics application such as Adobe Freehand or
Fireworks.
A tracing image is a JPEG, GIF, or PNG image that
is placed in the background of the Document window. You can hide
the image, set its opacity, and change its position.
The
tracing image is visible only in Dreamweaver;
it is not visible when you view the page in a browser. When the
tracing image is visible, the page’s real background image and color
are not visible in the Document window; however, the background
image and color will be visible when the page is viewed in a browser.
Place a tracing image in the Document window- Do one of the following:
Select View > Tracing Image >
Load.
Select Modify > Page Properties, then
click Browse (next to the Tracing Image text box).
- In the Select Image Source dialog box, select an image
file and click OK.
- In the Page Properties dialog box, specify the transparency
for the image by dragging the Image Transparency slider, then click
OK.
To switch to another tracing image or change the transparency
of the current tracing image at any time, select Modify >
Page Properties.
Show or hide the tracing image Select View > Tracing Image >
Show. Change the position of a tracing image Select View > Tracing Image >
Adjust Position. To precisely specify the position of the
tracing image, enter coordinate values in the X and Y text boxes.
To move the image 1 pixel at a time, use the arrow
keys.
To move the image 5 pixels at a time, press Shift
and an arrow key.
Reset the position of the tracing image Select View > Tracing Image >
Reset Position. The tracing image returns to the upper-left corner of the
Document window (0,0).
Align the tracing image to a selected element- Select
an element in the Document window.
- Select View > Tracing Image >
Align with Selection.
The upper-left corner of the tracing image is aligned with
the upper-left corner of the selected element.
