Adobe Photoshop is a professional raster image-editing application that helps prepare website images before they are uploaded to WordPress. Use it to resize images, adjust resolution, crop carefully, and add text with more predictable results across screen sizes. section 8.4
A practical Photoshop workflow for website images includes:
- Resize oversized images before uploading them, because enormous files can slow page loading and harm the user experience. section 8.4
- Preserve the image’s proportions when resizing so the subject does not become distorted. section 8.4
- Use a photo editor’s text tool instead of placing text over images with CSS when predictable rendering matters across screen sizes. section 8.4
- Batch-process multiple files with File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack. section 8.4
Preparing a website image
Before uploading a large photograph to WordPress, open it in Photoshop, reduce its dimensions while preserving its shape, adjust its resolution, and add any required text with the text tool. This produces a more controlled result than relying on WordPress or CSS alone. section 8.4
Photoshop also remains relevant as image-generation tools expand: it is incorporating AI features into its art-application suite while continuing its role as a professional image editor. section 13.1.1
