I am a rank beginner and want to learn the Expression Suite well enough I can use the WWW as a medium of expression. I understand the concepts of coding and understand if I memorize the tools in Expression Web it will allow me to do a lot of web page development without coding it line by line. One of my weaknesses is using images. I have an assortment of photographs and graphics I would like to use but when I am working on a page and want to use an image, I am unclear about whether I can do it all in Expression Web or need to go into Expression Design and resize and reshape the picture first. Where can I find a good set of instructions for image use? I understand a huge file with too much detail is bad and needs to be made smaller but what to do first, second, etc. would be helpful. How about a check list from the camera to the web?

Ya, that's probably a good idea for a series, all about the options for your web graphics, and different ways to make them, etc.
For the interim for you though, I will say that Expression Design doesn't really do much for bitmap images in its current state, though the next version should I believe. And Expression Web isn't intended to have actual image editing capabilities.
You'll want to find a program that you can export your images out for the web. Photoshop is what I use, but that's most likely going to be above and beyond what you're looking for. They also have another program called Photoshop Elements which is scaled down and cheaper. There are also a number of shareware photo editing apps on the web, but I personally don't have much experience with them.

My wife has given birth to our twins, so I'm still going to be spotty around here. It never seems to correct itself does it? I'm sorry, I'm trying.
