| You can find more detailed information about the options for image elements in the Edit image section of the Reference Manual. |
You can set the following preferences for export:
Resolution:
The resolution defines how many pixels are present per inch (dpi = dots per inch). The higher the resolution, the better the quality. This however, also rapidly increases the size of the file at the same time.
Border:
This option allows you to specify a border width for the JPEG image. This enables you to isolate your illustration from the background. A value of e.g. 5 means that a white border of 5 mm will be left around the actual image on all sides. The image therefore becomes 10 mm wider and higher.
Dimensions:
This field allows you to specify the dimensions of the JPEG file. This is governed either by the size of the drawing sheet in Arbortext IsoDraw or the actual extent of the elements.
Image Depth:
The image depth (bit depth) option essentially allows you to control how many different colors a JPEG file can contain. A grayscale image can contain up to 256 different levels of gray. A color image can contain up to 16.7 million colors.
Quality:
This slider allows you to adjust the level of compression for the file. If you move the slider to the right the quality will be retained. The file will be somewhat larger. Move the slider to the left to reduce the file size. This could seriously affect image quality.
