Color compression: Select the compression to use for the color images. Flate is a

lossless compression method, so no data is lost in the process. It works well on images

with large areas of single shades or repeating patterns, such as screen shots and simple

images created with paint or drawing programs. JPEG removes image data and may

reduce image quality, but may be suitable for continuous-tone photographs containing

more detail than can be reproduced onscreen or in print. Since JPEG eliminates data, it

can achieve much smaller file sizes than Flate compression. Select Auto to let the applic-

ation choose the best compression method automatically. Note that configurations that

were created with an earlier version of PlanetPress Workflow and that included tasks set

not to use any compression will by default be set to use the Flate compression method.

Color down sampling: Select the down sampling option. down sampling reduces image

size by breaking images down into small areas in which multiple pixels are replaced by

single pixels. The Color resolution you enter in the following box is used to control the

down sampling process. Select None to prevent grayscale down sampling. Select Average

to average pixel color in each sample area and to replace the entire area with a pixel of the

average color. Select Subsample to use a pixel in the center of the sample area and

replace the entire area with that pixel value. This method is significantly faster, but results

in images that are less smooth. Select Bicubic to use a weighted average to determine

pixel shades. This method is the slowest but most precise and results in the smoothest

tonal gradations.

Color resolution: Select the resolution to use for color images. Note that this setting has

an impact on the color down sampling process.
