The image appears in your draft. To make the image web-ready, Contribute reduces large images to the size pre-set
by the Contribute administrator, if the administrator has enabled image processing for your role.
Note:
If the image you are inserting is from your computer, you can edit the image inline (if your user role has permission
to edit inline), but you can’t edit the image in an external application until you publish the draft. For more information
about editing, see “Editing an image in Contribute” on page 106.
After you insert the image, double click the image to change image properties. For more information, see “Changing
image properties” on page 104.
Dragging images to a page
You can drag an image from another source to your Contribute page.
Note:
If your Contribute administrator has restricted the types of images your user role can insert, you might be able to
insert images only from shared assets.
You can also add images by using the Insert menu or Image button (see “Using the Insert menu or Image button to
add images to a page” on page 101) or by copying and pasting them on the page (see “Copying and pasting images”
on page 102).
To add an image by dragging:
1 Reduce the size of the Contribute application window so you can also see the application that contains the image
you plan to drag.
2
In the other application, select the image.
3 Drag the image to your Contribute draft where you want the image to appear.
You can’t drag an image from a web browser if the image has a link attached to it. Save the image to your computer
first, and then drag the image to your Contribute draft, or copy and paste the image.
4 If the Image Description dialog box appears, enter text to describe the image for users with disabilities or for users
whose their browsers set to display text only, and then click OK.
