Default Image Conversion Settings
When Actual Drawing performs a publishing, it needs to convert non-paragraph text layers to graphical files because a web browser can display paragraph text and pictures in the .GIF or .JPEG format only.
To make all the artistic stuff, that has been created in Actual Drawing, visible in web browser it has to be converted to .GIF or .JPEG files.
All images, which don't have own settings (the Use Default button is checked in the Conversion tab of the Properties panel), will be converted with these default settings.
To specify default settings for Image Conversion
- Select Default Image Conversion settings from the Tools menu to get the Image Conversion dialog box.
The following image conversion settings are available in the Image Conversion dialog box:
In the Format box select image format - GIF or JPEG.
GIF format is useful for storing images with limited number of colors (256 maximum), transparent regions and sharp edges.
If your images are non transparent, have blurred edges and have millions colors, use JPEG format.
For GIF format:
In the Number of Colors box, set how many colors you want available in the GIF file. The fewer the colors in an image, the better it will compress, but, as colors are taken away, the image quality tends to degrade. The goal with palette reduction is to find a balance between effective compression and image quality.
Select the Shrink frames check box to write a smaller frame containing only the pixels that have changed.This option works with multiframed GIF images only.
Multiple frames, in multiframed GIF image, may share the same static image elements or pixels. Because these elements or pixels don't change from frame to frame, they are unnecessary for the animation. Select the Remove Identical Pixels check box to remove these static redundancies from each frame, and minimizes the file size.
For JPEG format:
Set Quality Factor to define the image quality and file size. High quality creates large file and vice versa.
Select the Anti-Alias resize check box to smooth jagged edges in scaled images. |
