288 CHAPTER 10 Designing Web Pages To convert a layer-based image map area to a toolbased image map area: 1 Select a layer-based image map area using the image map select tool ( ). (See "Selecting image maps" on page 289). 2 Choose Promote Layer Based Image Map Area from the Image Map palette menu. If the layer contains multiple, non-overlapping areas of pixel content, multiple tool-based image map areas are produced. Viewing image maps When you select the image map select tool, image map areas show automatically. You can also show or hide image map areas using the Image Map Visibility button. Image map preferences determine how image map areas appear in the document window. You can set preferences for image map lines, line color, and color adjustments. To show or hide image map areas: Do one of the following: • Click the Image Map Visibility button ( ) in the toolbox. • Choose View > Show > Image Maps. • Choose View > Show Extras. This command also shows or hides selection edges, slices, text bounds, text baseline, and text selections. (See "Working with Extras" on page 77.) To set image map display preferences: 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Image Maps. 2 To change the color of image map lines, choose a color from the Line Color pop-up menu. Changing the color of image map lines also changes the line color of selected image map areas to a contrasting color. 3 To change the strength of image map color adjustments, enter a value, or choose a value from the Image Map Overlay pop-up slider. The value determines the extent of color adjustments that dim the brightness and contrast of unselected image map areas. 4 To display image map lines only and deselect color adjustment display, select Show Lines Only. 5 To show a bounding box for circular image map areas, select Show Bounding Box. Selecting and modifying image maps (ImageReady) You can move, arrange, align, and duplicate tool-based image map areas using the Image Map palette. There are fewer options for modifying layer-based image map areas because they are tied to the pixel content of the associated layer; however, you can select, arrange, and delete layer-based image map areas as you do tool-based image map areas.
