Hi,
I wish to use a background image for my site using Freeway Pro, when I upload an image, it only uses part of it which covers the whole page. How do I get it to fit on the page without any of the original image being cut off?
Thanks.

is that something I’d find in Freeway Pro, I’ve had a look and can’t find it. I’m pretty new to this so please forgive the silly questions. I just want it to do what iWeb does.
Thanks.

The first thing to remember about background images is that they are not processed by FW so firstly they need to be in a web ready format such as jpeg, gif or png and they should be optimised for size. Dont use an image that is more than a few hundred Kb if you can help it as nobody will thank you for a slow to load page. Compression can be ramped up quite a lot because this image will be used as just that - a background image - so quality does not have to be brilliant. An image less than 100Kb is desirable.
If you wish to use a picture (rather than a tiling background) then it will need to be sized to suit your design/web page ie 1024 x 768px and saved as 72ppi. You can choose to tile an image horizontally’ vertically or in both directions but you can also centre an image too.
The full background image action has the advantage of being able to stretch an image to fit the browser window but it should be noted that it is incorrectly attributed to me and the efforts are those of Simon Manning of Softpress
There is also the Full Background Proprtional action that will do a similar thing but keep the proportions of the original image.
