[Tex/LaTex] includegraphics with negative bottom margin

Question

i've got some graphic included within the text like so:

Sounds scary \includegraphics[width=1.2em]{images/zwinker.png}

this is the output:

but i'd like this output instead (graphic moved a bit down to fit nicer in the flow of the text):

how can i achieve this?

Answer 1

A simple \raisebox{0.3\height} will do:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx} 

\begin{document}

Sounds scary \raisebox{-0.3\height}{\includegraphics[scale = 0.08]{zwinkern}}

\end{document}
