Inserting Images



The Insert image allows you to add images to your web site. Mamut supports the graphic formats JPG, GIF and BMP. JPG is used for images of high quality with many colours while GIF is a format that is used for images with fewer colours. You should think about this if you have limited storage capacity on your server or if you have customers with line capacity or modem.

One tip is to insert images which have the same colour as the design theme you have chosen. In this way you can influence the design of your web site.

Before you insert a picture, make sure that its file is stored locally on your computer and that it does not contain special characters or spaces.

How to insert an image

  1. Go to View - E-Commerce - Edit web site - Content.

  2. Click the Insert button to add images. This opens the Image properties window.

  3. Specify the location of the image on your hard disk in the Image source field. You can also browse to find the file by clicking the button with three dots to the right of the field.

  4. Use the Tooltip text field to insert a 'tool tip' for the image. This is a small explanatory text (in a yellow sticker), which appears on the screen when you move the cursor over the image.

  5. You can select where you want to place your image in the Position field.

  6. The Width and Height fields allow you to adjust the size of the image.

    Note!
    There may be a reduction in image quality when you use this function. To retain the highest image quality, you should edit the size of the image using image processing software.

  1. Click OK.

The image will now display on the page when you have updated your web site.
