If you have Macromedia Fireworks, you can create a new graphic from a Dreamweaver image 

placeholder. When you select the image placeholder and click the Create button in the Property 

inspector, Fireworks opens and presents you with a new canvas. The new image dimensions are set to 

the same size as the placeholder image. You can then create and edit the image as you like, and replace 

the placeholder image in Dreamweaver. For information about creating an image in Fireworks from an 

image placeholder, see  Using Fireworks to modify Dreamweaver image placeholders  in Using
