Arc-Winter Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi all,Maybe i'm being impatient here but i just started doing the htlm tutorial and i can't seem to find out how to figure Coordinates in a image. If some one can either point me to or explain this to me i would appreciate it! i should be more specific, is there a way to over lay a image with Coordinates?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 do you have a program that allows you edit images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arc-Winter Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 do you have a program that allows you edit images?no i don't is there one that you recommend? I do have a copy of dreamweaver but, i haven't installed it yet. The reason for that is because i want to absorb all the information before using a program that really just does everything for me. (Although i'm not sure DW can even do the overlay for imgs.)A program that alot of people i know use is Photoshop but, i really don't wanna pay $50 or whatever is cost currently for it. Atleast not until i know ill put it to good use. If there is a Free program out there that will allow me to essentially mess around. Then that would be Ideal!

ScottyBoy Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I use Gimp. It's a lot like Photoshop, but it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowMage Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Gimp is a wonderful free program. IrfanView is also good if you just need basic stuff like finding coordinates and cropping or resizing images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 A fast way to see coordinates. Create a test document. The body element will contain code that looks like this: <a href="#"><img ismap="ismap" src="myimage.jpg"></a> If your browser has a status bar showing, then running your mouse over the image should display its coordinates there. They will be continuously updated as you move. So just point your mouse at a spot and write down the numbers. Easy.(I think some browsers may not display like this anymore. I don't remember. I'm using Firefox at the moment, and my status bar is visible, and I can see the coordinates just fine.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
