Following the excellent demo of iWeb by Mark at Bournemouth I have been inspired to try my hand at making a web site. But... I do not use iPhot and it would seem that iweb will only accept photos from that source. Dragging a photo file onto a placeholder or a shape has no effect. Can anyone tell me what is the right way to go about this - or is it only possible to add photos through iPhoto?
I am replying on behalf of a fellow member, Peter Shepheard, who can't access this site just at the moment. Peter has produced a website using iWeb and this is his reply: " I resize my images to around 600px in Lightroom but any programme would do. (I don't know how iWeb handles images if you just size them on the fly so I prefer to keep them small in the first place.). I open Finder and then drag them onto the page in iWeb. I don't use iPhoto anywhere in this process."
I have just tried this with a random iWeb page and without resizing or anything I was able to drag a photo from a folder on my desktop directly into a picture placeholder on iWeb.
