Control graphics’ display performance

You can control the resolution of graphics placed in your document. You can change the display settings for the entire

document or for individual graphics. You can also change a setting that either allows or overrides the display settings

for individual documents.

If you’ve set the display performance of any images separately, you can override the settings so all objects use the same

settings.

Performance > Allow Object-Level Display Settings. (A check mark indicates it is selected.)
