Resizing and cropping Smart Objects

Resizing Smart Objects
To resize a Smart Object, you can simply drag one of its resizing handles. When you release the mouse, GoLive regen­
erates the target file using the last-applied optimization settings.
Resizing sliced images is also very easy with Smart Objects. When you resize a sliced Smart Object, GoLive automat­
ically generates a new table and reoptimizes each slice.
Note: Because the SWF and SVG formats are vector-based and scalable, target files in those formats are not reoptimized.
