Setting bitmap properties
Use the Bitmap Properties dialog box to enable smoothing of the
bitmap and to set the export format. To open the Bitmap Properties
dialog box, select a bitmap in the Library window and click the
Propeties button, or choose Properties from the Library window's
Options menu. Choose from the following options:
 |
Bitmap information displays the name, location, date,
and size of the bitmap are displayed. |
|
Preview displays a picture of the bitmap. |
|
Allow smoothing smooths the edges of the bitmap with
anti-aliasing. |
|
Update reimports the bitmap file in a movie if changes
have been made to it externally. |
|
Import opens the Import Bitmap dialog box. Use this
dialog box to import a new bitmap. |
|
Test shows the results of the file compression. You can
compare the original file size to the compressed file
size. |
Choose Export As to set one of the following:
|
Default exports the file using the default format. Click
Test to determine the default format. |
|
Lossless exports the file in a compressed format without
sacrificing any data in the image. |
|
JPEG exports the file in a compressed JPEG format. JPEG
compression can vary from high quality (saving a document
at low compression, such as 2:1) to low quality (saving a
document at high compression, such as 100:1). With high
levels of compression, image quality can suffer. When you
Export as JPEG, the dialog box prompts you to specify the
quality of the compression on a scale of 1 to 100. |
