This section covers images that are uploaded to a web page, through the Responsive Filemanager (folders holding images and files for website display).
NOTE: When making a post (blogs, articles, news, etc) using the form upload, images are uploaded directly from your computer and do not require formatting using instructions in this section.
The Filemanager contains folders, added by the website manager, to allow images (and files) to be uploaded to your web pages. Make sure all images are uploaded to a yellow folder. If needing to change an existing image, ensure the image is renamed before upload, otherwise the website will read it as the same unchanged image).
Image size and format
Before you start, ensure that all images and graphics are jpg, gif, png and/or avi and must be no bigger than 1mb. If too large they will slow the website down and may break the page.
An image can be reduced, on the page, after upload to the Responsive Filemanager. However, it shouldn't be made bigger, on the page than the original size, because the image will become fuzzy.
jpgs are best for photos gifs are better for flat colour graphics such as logos pngs for transparent backgrounds Scan all images at 72 dpi. Alternatively, convert original images to no bigger than 1400 pixels wide - this is the largest you will need on a web page.
Image sizes for different parts of your page
Sizes are a guide and individual websites may have slight variations. Check 'Your Notes' if your site has custom features.

Find an image size (already uploaded image)
If you are unsure of the size of an image that is already uploaded.
Check in the 'Responsive Filemanager'.
Go: Site Tools > File Manager
Find the image.
Change the viewing layout to 'List view' and it will list the images and the dimensions (in pixels).
You might choose to keep your image sizes in your 'Keep Notes' (left menu in Edit mode).
Resize images
You will need a graphics programme on your computer to resize images, for example: Adobe Photoshop or Paint in Windows.
Place your cursor into the text editing area, where you want your image to appear. If the image is to appear between paragraphs, open a paragraph gap and place your cursor in the middle, between paragraphs. If cutting the image into the text (left or right), place the cursor on the left at the beginning of a sentence.
Upload the image by clicking the icon “insert/edit image”, (looks like a photo of a mountain.)
Click onto the icon to the right of the source window (looks like an arrow upload icon).
Open or create a new folder as needed. If the image is already uploaded find the image and go to point 7.
Select ‘Upload’ (top left hand icon up arrow). Add files or Drag & Drop files, or click in the area displayed (modern browsers) and select the file(s). Start Upload. When the upload is complete, click ‘Return to files list’ button.
Select the image to place onto the page. Click OK. Note that you might elect to tick 'Show Caption' to add a caption under the image.
Your image will appear on the page.
NOTE: Images are automatically made responsive so they shrink to fit all screens.
NOTE: If you are cutting the image into text, see 'Text wrap an image' (below)
To check, or take the responsive attribute off:
8. Select your image.
9. Select ‘formats’ / select ‘Responsive Styles’ / click ‘Responsive Image’ on or off.

On occasions an image might disappear from a page. This is most likely because the image has been disturbed (alerted or deleted), usually in the Responsive Filemanager.
The usual fix is to upload the image to the page again, or start again and upload the image from your desktop.
You need to be logged in.
Go to the page where your image is missing.
Click on the blank image space or missing link icon.
Click on the the icon 'Insert/edit image', (looks like a photo of a mountain).
In the Source window, make a note of the file name and source folder for the image, so you can find it in the Responsive Filemanager.
Click onto the icon to the right of the source window (looks like an arrow upload icon).
Go to the folder where the image should be.
Find the image and select it.
If the image is not there, upload it again from your desktop.
A hover on an image or section of text (highlighted change) indicates there is an active link.
Default hover for an image
On most Flightdec websites the default hover is a 70% image fade.
Use your admin HELP to change this or get it reinstated, if not working.
Switching the hover to another image
You can have a specific hover on an image if uploading 2 images that are named exactly the same.
The hover image needs to have the words '-hover' at the end of the name and before the '.jpg' eg. HomeImage.jpg HomeImage-hover.jpg The 2 images must be uploaded into the same folder.
Create and name your 2 images.
Upload your 2 images into your Responsive Filemanager. See here
Click on the image and go to the menu to the right of the Tx icon:

When you make a screen capture, or snippet, for use as a Signature Image, make sure the main content of your image is in the centre of your selection because the image will auto-crop as a square or rectangle, depending on where it is displayed. Your selection should be roughly wide rectangular in shape and needs to be at least 400 pixels at the shortest axis.
On a PC use the snippet tool.
Select the Start button or search icon next to it, type snipping tool in the search box on the taskbar, and then select Snipping Tool from the list of results.
In Snipping Tool, select Mode. In earlier versions of Windows, select the arrow next to the New button. Select Rectangular Snip, you’ll see the whole screen change slightly to gray. Then, choosing from anything currently displayed on the screen, select a squarish area of your screen to capture.
Press and hold these three keys together: Shift, Command, and 4. Drag the crosshair to select the area of the screen to capture. To move the selection, press and hold the Space bar while dragging. To cancel taking the screenshot, press the Esc (Escape) key.
