time. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the only tiled format that the program
supports. The TIFF reader supports all image types:
■ Bitonal (1 bit per pixel)
■ Gray scale and indexed color (8 bits per pixel)
■ True Color (24 or 32 bits per pixel)
You can save tiled TIFF images with most image scanning tools. The image
tiles should be no smaller than 64 x 64 pixels and no larger than 512 x 512
pixels. Additional file readers that support other tiled formats, such as CALS
Type II, are available from third-party developers.
Suppress Highlighting When Selecting Images
You can turn on or off the highlighting that identifies the selection of a raster
image or the image frame by selecting Highlight Raster Image Frame Only on
the Display tab in the Options dialog box. You can also set theIMAGEHLT
system variable directly. By default, IMAGEHLT is set to 0, to highlight only
the raster image frame. Turning off highlighting of the entire image improves
performance.
To change the image display quality
1 Click Modify menu ➤ Object ➤ Image ➤ Quality.
2 Enter d (Draft) or h (High).
Images are displayed at the specified quality.
To show or hide an image
1 Select the image to modify.
2 Right-click in the drawing area. Click Properties.
3 In the Properties palette, to show or hide the image, select Yes or No in
the Show Image list.
4 To switch the background of the selected image between transparent and
opaque, select Yes or No in the Transparency list.
