Getting Started 21
The Export Optimizer consists of a left-hand settings region and a right-
hand preview display, with additional buttons along the bottom of the
dialog. In animation mode, there's an extra tab for changing output
settings.
To display a different portion of the image, drag the image in the
preview pane. To change the display scale, click the Zoom In or Zoom
Out buttons at the lower left.
To adjust the preview display, click one of the View buttons at the lower
left to select Single, Double, or Quad display. The illustration above
shows Single view. The multi-pane (Double and Quad) settings let you
compare different export settings for one or more file formats. Just click
one of the display panes to select it as the active pane, and then use the
Options panel at the left to choose an export format and specific settings.
Each time you make a new choice, the active pane updates to show the
effect of filtering using the new settings, as well as the estimated file
size!
When you’ve picked the optimum export settings, click the dialog’s
Export or OK button to proceed to the Export dialog.
For details on image file formats and optimization, see Chapter 7.
Printing
Printing is controlled from the Print dialog, which you can access by
choosing Print… from the File menu, clicking the Print button on the
Standard toolbar, or pressing Ctrl+P.
