Previewing an image in a browser

To get an idea of how an optimized image will look in a Web page, you can preview the image in any browser installed on your system. The browser displays the image with a caption listing the image's file type, pixel dimensions, file size, and compression specifications in the first paragraph, and filename and other HTML information in the second paragraph. You can add additional browsers to the menu, and specify which browser will be launched when using a keyboard shortcut.

To add a browser:

1. Do one of the following:
• (Photoshop) Choose File > Save for Web, and then choose Edit List from the Select Browser menu  . Click the Add button in the Browsers dialog box.
• (ImageReady) Choose File > Preview In > Edit Browser List. Click the Add button in the Edit Browsers List dialog box.
2. In the Preview in Other Browser dialog box, navigate to the browser application on your computer, and then click the Open button. The browser name appears in the Browsers dialog box.

To add all browsers on your computer:
