About this title

Review

If you use Microsoft FrontPage or Microsoft Visual InterDev, you've come across the image editor, Image Composer, included with those products. In Wild Web Graphics with Microsoft Image Composer, author David Karlins teaches you how to produce Web graphics using this new package. The full-color book is filled with clear explanations and illustrations, making the package that much easier to learn. Karlins writes about the essentials of Image Composer and explains how to create, resize, rotate, and otherwise manipulate sprites (the graphic images comprising an image); create image maps; and work with the package's Color Picker, Color Lift Wand, and Custom Palettes. Then he explains how to save your files, even selected sprites, in .GIF and .JPG formats; create graphical text; and create special artistic effects. The Image Composer Gallery at the back of the book features various Web-site designers' tips on using Image Composer. You can access images, fills, and palettes at a Web site produced by the book's publisher, Que Corp.
