image on disk. The proxy is linked to the image file on disk.
If you click Cancel, Canvas closes the dialog box without replacing the original image, placing the
proxy, or storing the image file on disk.

Final output with proxies and linked image files
To produce final high-resolution output from a document, you may need to copy the Canvas

that contains image proxies, you need to copy the linked high resolution image file also, to be able to
print the high resolution images.
