PHWinfo - Afficher un message - How do I create a web mock-up using Full Width Photo's

Greetings & !

I'm trying to create a full width photo layout using Fireworks CS3 &
Dreamwaver CS3 without the photo's being tall.

Exactly as the following websites - which all seem to be using the same size
of photo or very close to it.

This site is static with full width photos that are not tall.

This site is static for the most part and full width photos that are not tall

http://www.gnvpartners.com/web/

This site is Flash with full width photos that are not tall.

I would love to create a flash site just like expo but at this point I would
settle for a static photo with the same size being the same on each page.

Also I would like my site to be a liquid layout so the photo and everything
else (text, Links etc) on the page flows correctly.

The problem...

I'm trying to use photo's from Istockphoto.com. The size of the photo's they
offer are

425 x 282 px (5.9" x 3.9")
849 x 565 px (11.8" x 7.8")
1698 x 1131 px (5.7" x 3.8")

I'm selecting horizontal photo's. I do not know how to match the same width,
height and appearence as the websites I mentioned above.

If I choose a photo that fits the width then the length is too long. Also if I
choose a large photo and have to crop it then most of the detail of the photo
is lost.

I'm attempting to create a mock-up for my web in Fireworks CS3 and after
search Adobe and www I came across the mock up should be 1004px which would end
up being 1024 with vertical scroll bar and small margins.

I also have Photoshop & Flash CS3 but should mention (if you haven't already
guess it by now) I am a rookie when it comes to creating a website.

So if you can offer a solution in "Non-Tech Terms" I would appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for your time.
