Changing optimization settings with a batch process
You can change file optimization settings using the Export option in the Batch Process dialog
box.
To set export settings for a batch process:
1. Select Export from the Batch Options list and click Add.
2. From the Settings pop-up menu, select from the following options and click OK:
■
Select Use Settings from Each File to keep each file’s previous export settings during
the batch process. For example, when you batch-process a folder of GIFs and JPEGs,
the resulting files remain GIFs and JPEGs, and Fireworks uses the original palette and
compression settings when exporting each file.
■
Select Custom or click Edit to change settings in the Export Preview dialog box.
■
Select a preset export setting such as GIF Web216 or JPEG – Better Quality. All files
are converted to this setting.
3. Click Next to continue the batch process.
For information on completing the batch process, see “Batch processing” on page 426 .
Scaling graphics with a batch process
You can alter the height and width of images being exported using the Scale option in the
Batch Process dialog box.
