Operation Manual

266 Images, Animation, and Multimedia
To set global export options for web graphics:
1. Choose Site Properties... from the File menu and select the Graphics
menu option.
2. In the Export File Format section, select a preferred export format.
This is the default format to which all graphics will be converted on
export unless you set overrides. For JPGs, you can set a compression
value. For PNGs, Use PNG transparency and Use compatibility
hack... options allow PNG transparency and properly render PNG
alpha transparency (in Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0), respectively.
3. In the Resampling section, choose a resampling method to give Best
quality, Good quality, Sharper, or Smoother images of any format; the
better quality, the slower the export. Best quality uses supersampling
to ensure the finest detail in exported graphics. Check the Don't
resample pictures.. option to avoid resampling on images when
exported image size will be approximate to original image size.
4. For exporting original graphic file names, in the Naming section
check Use original names of picture files. Graphics will be stored in
the root of your published website.
5. In the Optimization section, keep Combine overlapping graphics
into a single file checked to have WebPlus analyze the site and (where
a smaller file would result) output overlapping graphics as a single
graphic. Whether this option makes sense will depend on your
particular layout. Rather than use this global approach, you might
consider using Tools>Convert to Picture in specific cases.
Setting export options, title, and alternate text for
individual graphics
The Image Export Manager is a Wizard that lets you set the export file format
for individual graphics in the site, or for objects such as rotated text that will be
converted to images on export. These local, image-by-image settings override
the global settings (as set in File>Site Properties) which WebPlus uses to
determine the export format. You can run the Wizard to check a single selected
image, the current page, or the entire site. For each image, you can save it using
different methods.
