A window opens displaying the search results page in the content server. Click Select
beside the image that you would like to use. If you do not see the image you want to add, you may not have checked it into the content server correctly. See
Checking Images Into Content Server on page 5-1 for more information.
If the content server has Digital Asset Management, then the Actions column in the results page shows the blue information icon, and a Digital Asset Management
icon Figure 5–2
. Click the icon and multiple renderings of the image to use on the Web site are listed. Each rendering is a version of an image created by the content
server when the image is checked in. The renderings available depend on how the content server is set up, but will typically include a thumbnail version, a preview
version, and similar smaller-sized versions of the image ready to use on a Web site.
Click Select beside the specific rendering of the image that you would like to use. Figure 5–2

Considerations
■
Before you can add an image, the image must be checked into the content server see
Checking Images Into Content Server on page 5-1.
■
Although you can view BMP files in the content server, you cannot add these to your web pages. You can use only GIF, JPEG, or PNG files.
■
Only the images with the file extension .gif, .jpg, or .png, and those checked in with Image
as their Website Object Type appear on the search results page.
■
The Insert Image option may be the only available option in Contributor, depending on how the site was set up.
■
Alternatively, you could resize the image by changing its height and width in the Image Properties dialog see
Changing the Properties of an Image on page 5-4.
■
If you use any drag handles other than the ones on corners, the aspect ratio of your image changes. You can use the icons to the right of the width and height
fields on the image properties dialog to lock the aspect ratio of the image or reset the image to its original size width and height.
