378 Photo Handling
The cut-out butterfly image still has the rest of the photo attached. If you go into the FILL
TOOL you can easily see this by resizing the fill inside the outline. So the parts of the
image outside the butterfly will probably be superfluous in your final document.
Right click a photo and choose OPTIMIZE PHOTO or choose "UTILITIES" > "OPTIMIZE
PHOTO..".. This dialog performs three important functions:
• Removing invisible parts of photos
• Reducing resolution of photos
• Converting PNG or bitmaps to embedded JPEGs to optimize file size
Selecting this menu option for any bitmap will display the OPTIMIZE PHOTO dialog.
The default resolution depends on the type of document you are working on:
• 192 dpi Web documents with Retina hi-definition images.
• 150 dpi Print documents.
• 96 dpi Other documents.
When optimizing non-JPEG images, Web Designer Premium will automatically decide
whether it’s best to optimize to a PNG or JPEG, depending on the nature of the image
itself.
