We’re going to divert ourselves here for a moment and discuss images. Netscape Composer does not itself edit images. You will need a separate application for working with images. You can find very good shareware or open source image editors (I like GraphicConverter and GIMP) or you can use commercial image editors such as Adobe Photoshop.

Always work from an original, high quality image. Some image formats are “lossy”. They’re like a video tape that’s been recorded from another tape, that’s been recorded from another tape, etc., for every time you’ve edited the image. If your image editor has a native format, such as Adobe Photoshop does, use that format. Otherwise, the PNG format is a very good format for storing your original files.

Always work from your original, and then save the original down to your web format.
