Web FAQ 3.03. How do I put a photograph or art on my page?

    If the photograph (or art) is your property to use, then you may scan the image at one of the Scanning Resource locations at the University. After you have scanned the photograph, you should make certain that the image size is to 72 dpi and that the dimensions are what you desire. Save the image file in a GIF (.gif file extension) or JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg file extension) format. Currently, these are the only two supported graphics formats for the Web.

Note: In order for a graphics file to work properly, you must not only give the file a correct extension (.gif, .jpg, or .jpeg), but also save the file in the corresponding format (i.e. myfile.jpg must be saved in a JPEG format).
