482 Web Graphics and Websites

if you have 2 separate shapes in your design which are not grouped together, they will be
exported as 2 separate images. You can group the two shapes (Ctrl+G) and then a
single image is exported instead.

This section of the Image Tab lets you specify how the currently selected object should
be exported as an image. By default Xara Designer Pro X will decide for you. This means
that normally photos will be exported as JPEG (which is usually the best format for
photos) and other objects as PNG (which is usually best for graphics). Photos which
have been rotated on the page, or which have a semi-transparent shadow applied, are
exported as PNG because JPEG does not support transparency.

You can force the selected object(s) to export as a JPEG or as a PNG, by selecting the
appropriate option. When the JPEG option is selected, you can also choose the JPEG
quality to be used for that image. Higher quality means a larger JPEG file size.

Publish Tab
The PUBLISH tab of the WEB PROPERTIES DIALOG is where you configure or change the
settings which allow you to publish your website to the internet. However you don’t need
to visit this dialog before doing a publish – the publish operation will prompt you to enter
the required details, if you haven’t specified them already.
