TIP 24: Viewing Content in the Inspector

You can see your files in the Site window, but to see a really nice preview without opening the files, look in the Content tab of the File Inspector. You can view just about any file format, including GIF, JPEG, HTML, QuickTime, Photoshop, Illustrator, and PDF.

If you have a large image like the one in Figure 24a, you'll only be able to see a small portion of the file. Notice the numbers in the bottom left corner of the Inspectorthose numbers tell you the dimensions of the selected file.

The scale-to-fit icon in the bottom left corner of the Inspector makes it easy to see all of a large image at once. Just click the scale-to-fit icon, and GoLive changes the preview dimensions (but not the actual image size) so that it fits perfectly in the Inspector (Figure 24b).

When you're sure you've located the right file, just drag and drop it from the Inspector into your Web page to place the image.
