Optimize Images |
||
The options in the Optimize tab of the Image Optimizer allow you to minimize the size of your images, while maintaining photo quality. To “optimize” your image…
- From the Image Optimizer, click the
Optimize tab.
- Reset the size of your image to Small, Medium or Large, depending upon the size of the photo pages you use in your report. If you’re working with a scanned map or other full-page document, select either Legal or Letter size.
- Choose the color depth for your image. If the document is a line drawing or map, the Black and White or Grayscale setting may work well. If you only output your documents on non-color printers, then select Grayscale.
- Finally, change the image detail to further trim file size. Most digital images contain far more resolution than the typical printer can reproduce. Selecting a Medium detail for photos, or even Low for graphics can save valuable disk space without sacrificing the quality of your final report.
- When you’re finished, click OK to apply your changes.

Hint: While you’re optimizing your image, keep an eye on the lower portion of the screen. You can quickly see the effect that your changes are having on the file size as the current image size is displayed, along with its original size. | ||
Automatic Optimization
The Image Optimizer provides a simple way to apply your preferred optimization settings automatically as you place images into your report. To set up automatic optimization so that you don’t have to manually optimize your images…
- In the Image Optimizer, click the Optimize tab.
- Click the Settings button at the bottom of the
Optimize tab.
- Mark your preferred optimization settings. Options include:
- Photo size
- Photo quality
- Check the Auto apply box at the bottom of the screen to ensure that WinTOTAL applies these settings for you when you add images into your report.
- When finished, click OK to save your settings.
