I have a friend that asked myself to do a photo shot of her....Portrait.

She doesn't have a Web site at the moment but is signed on with someone else.

Her question to me and mine to you is........ She wants a WWW. link in the picture.
I worked the picture in Photoshop and saved it.
Now how do I type or place the WWW. within so that people can click it for the link?

Any Help?

Bring it back into photoshop add text, re-save and make the whole image the clickable link.

Could place a text layer over the image using <div - span> tags.

Make the image a link and put text link under it.

Before you do anything you have to put the image in an html page ... there isn't a way (I know of) to make an image clickable if it's just being displayed (the last 3 letters of what you type in to see it are jpg, gif, etc)

Stephan, If I understand you correctly, you want part of the image to be a link on a webpage? I believe you need to create an image map, some web editing programs do that, or I believe there are image map programs available on the web.

Hmmm... confusion abounds!

You simply want to click on a graphic in a web page and have it take you somewhere else? (a hyperlink?)

A hyperlink gets assigned in the web page creation software, not in a photo editing program.

The person creating the web page will create the hyperlink by selecting the graphic and assigning a URL to it like: http://www.yoursite.com/images/mypicture.jpg or something like that.

edit: yikes! That link actually takes you someplace!

Stephen, building on Mark's comments - you do have to put the jpeg image inside on an html page and then assign the link inside the html page, but there may be an easy way.

If your friend is using a major carrier like ComCast or SBC, they usually have a little user friendly home page builder that lets you upload a picture and assign a link without all the computerese.

Otherwise you need something like Front Page that will create an HTML page for you, into which you insert the jpeg and the link. Then you upload the html much like you would upload a jpeg.

Hope this is clear. Vic G

Stephen, maybe i misunderstood your first post, if you just need to use the picture as a link, it's simple html code, if you want part of the pisture to provide the link, then you need to create an image map with coordinates. email me and i can create what you need and send you the code.
