To unlock all colors, choose Unlock All Colors from the Color Table palette menu.
Saving color tables
Choose Save Color Table from the Color Table palette menu. By
default, the color table file is given the extension .act (for Adobe Color Table).
Loading color tables
Choose Load Color Table from the Color Table palette menu. You
can load a color table from an .act file or a GIF file (to load the file’s embedded color table).
Once you load a new color table, the colors in the optimized image change to reflect the
new color table.
Saving optimized images
When you’ve applied a combination of settings that achieve a balance between quality
and file size, you’re ready to save the optimized image.
To save an optimized image:
1
Select the view with the desired optimization settings in the Save for Web dialog box,
and click Save.
2
Type a filename, and choose a location for the resulting file or files.
3
Choose a Save as Type option:
•
HTML and Images to generate all files required to use your artwork as a Web page.
This includes an HTML file and separate image files for the slices in the artwork. The
HTML file includes code for any links, image maps, and other effects in the document.
•
Images Only to save your artwork with the specified optimization settings. If the
artwork contains multiple slices, each slice is saved as a separate file.
•
HTML Only to generate an HTML file but not save any image files.
4
To set preferences for saving image files and HTML files, click Output Settings.
(See
“Setting output options” on page 316
.)
5
Choose an option for slices from the pop-up menu:
•
All Slices to save all slices in the image.
•
Selected Slices to save only the selected slices. If you select this option in conjunction
with the HTML and Images option, Illustrator generates the HTML code based on the
outermost bounds of the selected slices, and generates auto slices as needed to create
a complete HTML table.
Note:
You must select the desired slices before starting this procedure.
6
Click Save.
Setting output options
When you save an optimized image as a Web page, you can specify how HTML files are
formatted, how files are named, how slices are named, and how background images are
handled. You set these options in the Output Settings dialog box.
Using the Output Settings dialog box
The Output Settings dialog box contains four sets of options: HTML, Background, Saving
Files, and Slices. You can save your output settings and apply them to other files.
