I am very new to frontpage and having trouble putting a scanned image (saved
as a tiff file) into my webpage. Any suugestions?

Thank you!!

Can't use .tiffs on the internet, convert it to jpg if it's photographic type image, or gif if it's simple graphic.
 
You must first convert it into a jpg or gif, the File | Import it into your
FrontPage web before inserting on a page and saving.

Also note that the physical dimensions of the original are likely to be
quite large. You're going to want to reduce the size of the image as well.

Stacy- tiff files are not internet (browser) friendly. It is
recommended to convert to a browser friendly format; such
as, PNG, JPG, or GIF

Thank you for the posts... I did what you all suggested however I am still
having trouble. When I convert the file from TIFF to Jpeg it's very large.
I don't know how to adjust the size of the files. And sometimes when I
import the files to frontpage the new page is blank.
Thanks so much!
 
Thank you for your help!! I downloaded a couple of programs to 'convert'
files. Which worked. However, every time I try to import the new file I get
an error message from Frontpage that reads "Can not load...." I don't
remember frontpage being this difficult before but then again I don't think I
was triing to put scanned images (charts, graphs, etc) into my webpage
either. It can't be this hard!
 
How big is the new file now?

Are you naming the file the same name as the other ones? You may want to open FP and delete the old image file(s) if you're using the same file name.

You are scanning them into a folder *outside* of FP first, right? Then converting, resizing, optimizing in that folder, *then* Importing into FP right?
 
You may want to shrink them in terms of height and width as well. Some
TIFFs, depending upon what source they originated from, are quite large.
this includes both height and width as well as file size (in bytes).

Save it as a GIF or JPEG-- they are the two standard image files for the
web. TIFFS are not the best, and may not display in all browsers.

FP may not "support" Tiff format. If you can't insert image by the usual
method in FP then try adding it in the code view: <img src="......">
 
Can't you just save the scanned image as a jpeg in the first instance (from
the scanning/image editor program)?

Try rescanning, at 72dpi resolution for starters, maybe reduce the colour
depth (16 bit, 24bit, 32 bit) etc etc (these might be foreign terms to you;
they are ways of reducing the size of the resulting image after scanning it.

Most monitors can't (or shouldn't need to) display an image at more than
72dpi anything higher is required for print, but 72dpi is fine for viewing
online.
