So now you have that picture of a television. Now you can mess around with it in your image editing program. Most programs allow you to change the picture's size, cut out sections, or adjust the colors. Play around with the picture until it looks the way you want and fits in with the rest of your Web page.

Floyd Says....Remember that people coming to visit your site have to wait for your images to load, and if it takes too long for all the pictures to appear, they might get bored and leave. You don't want that, so make sure that your pictures aren't gigantic.

Once you're happy with the picture, you need to save it as either a JPEG or a GIF. These are the two main image formats that are used on the Web. They both compress your picture to make it download faster, but they use different types of compression. JPEGs are better for compressing photographs and larger images, while GIFs are better for simpler things like text and cartoons.

Use your image editor to save your television picture as a GIF or JPEG. Then you're ready to go. Give the picture a name and make sure it ends in either .gif or .jpg (so it would look something like "television.gif"). This helps the browser figure out what it should do with the file.
