optimizing my own images

**behzad** · 03 August 2019, 12:41 PM

So lets say I optimize my own images in photoshop and I want to place them into my website, yet I do not want xara to covert them or change their output resolution/image quality. What do I do?

I do not want xara to set any of these choices to my images.

Acorn :P are you beheading me? omg, I do not get what you mean? stage ? what?

Yeah, I'm not sure what that means either.

Xara will export your images at 96 and/or 192dpi. You can opt for JPEG or PNG in the Images menu to force Xara to export your image to your preference.

Thanks Gary. I do not want to opt, I want to opt out. I do not want my already jpg image to be converted and downgraded again to jpg nor do I want it to become png.

Drop an image into a blank photo template. This keeps your dpi and dimensions. Drag from the Gallery onto your actual design page (staging).

He wants a option that says "NONE OF THE ABOVE - JUST LEAVE EVERYTHING ALONE"

I must admit, if I was still doing websites that would be my preference. On a number of occasions, I've had good quality pictures, and viewing the finished website, Xara had deteriorated the quality of the images to be unusable. I also wanted a "Leave my images alone" button.

You said it well, better than I did. Exactly.
