In the Settings window, choose image quality settings. Leave lower quality settings selected for browsers such as
Safari that don't support alpha channels in favorite icons, and disable higher quality settings only if not needed (for
example, if your icon doesn't need true colors or an alpha channel).
Click OK, and specify a file name and location for the Smart Favorite icon target file.

If you use a PSD file as the source file for a Smart Favorite icon, you can choose to use either layers or layer sets as
separate images to design specific versions for certain qualities or sizes. For example, you can design a high quality
version with a drop shadow in a PSD layer that you can then use only for a 32-bit version in GoLive. Another layer could
hold a version designed for fewer colors and without the drop shadow. By using PSD layers with different sizes, you can
also specify images for different icon sizes.

Creating links

About links
After you create your site and add all your resources to the site window, you can start linking images or objects on
the page to their source files, create a navigational system between the pages in your site, and add navigational links
to other sites or external URLs. You can use GoLive's Edit PDF Anchor feature to create links to bookmarks in PDF
files. GoLive automatically updates the site with each new link you create and continually verifies the integrity of
links as you build your site. If you move or rename a file in the site window, GoLive updates the links to the new paths.
You can view a graphical representation of all the links in your site and the navigational hierarchy between pages. If
a link is broken because the destination file was moved or renamed outside of the site window, GoLive displays the
orphaned or missing file in the Errors tab of the site window.
For information on creating links that originate from parts of an image, see "Image maps" on page 346.

Creating resource and navigational links
When you add images and other types of media to a page, you create resource links from the placeholders on the page
to the source files. You can also create navigational links from images or text on a page that viewers click to go to other
pages in the site, other anchored locations on the same page, or external URLs or e-mail addresses.
You can set up text or images as empty reference links and specify the destination files for them later or attach actions
to them.
