It's no secret that images that look great in Image Composer -- and even in FrontPage Editor -- can look much different in a browser.

One way to see exactly how your images will look is to reconfigure FrontPage to open GIFs and JPGs in your browser instead of Image Composer when you double-click on them. To do this, choose Options... from FrontPage Explorer's Tools menu. Then click the Configure Editors tab. Select GIF from the list and click the Modify... button. Then, click the Browse... button and navigate to your copy of Internet Explorer. (The default path is C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe, where C is your hard disk letter.) Click OK, then repeat the process with JPG.

Now, whenever you double-click an image, it will open in the browser. To edit an image, launch Image Composer first, then open the file as you normally would.
