Make a Palette Color Transparent
Make this color entry transparent. Note the difference between this option, which
makes parts of the selected objects transparent, and Make The Image Background
Transparent which makes those areas behind the selected objects transparent.
Delete a Palette Color
Delete this color from the palette. Any areas in the bitmap that use the deleted color
then use the nearest color in the palette. The fewer colors in the palette, the smaller
the bitmap file.
Restore a Previously Deleted Color
Undelete a deleted color.
Add system colors
Adds 28 colors to the palette. These colors are the regular Windows system colors
and a number of primary colors. This ensures the palette includes a spread of colors
and may improve the quality of the image, particularly if it contains a wide range of
colors. You may need to experiment with this option to get the best results.
Bitmap Size tab
With this tab, you can change the size of the exported image.
Bitmap Size and Resolution
You can change the size of the exported bitmap by changing:
•
SIZE: Type the required width or height into one of the fields. Note that the aspect
ratio of the bitmap is fixed, so changing one dimension automatically changes the
other.
SIZE is more suitable than SCALE if you want to create a bitmap of a
particular size in pixels.
•
SCALE: (Dimmed for JPEG & PNG). This lets you scale the bitmap up or down by a
percentage.
SCALE is more suitable than Size if you want, for example, a bitmap
50% bigger than the original.
•
RESOLUTION: (Dimmed for GIF & BMP) Type the resolution into the DPI field. If
you are exporting an image for viewing on screen (i.e. a website), you do not
need a setting higher than 96 DPI. 96 DPI also ensures the bitmap is the same
size as the objects on screen (at 100% magnification).
Area to Save
The bitmap can be created using one of these areas of the document:
•
PAGE: The whole page area.
