Optimizing bitmaps for the Web

You can save objects and optimize them for the World Wide Web. When you optimize an image for the Web, you can export to a GIF, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG 8-bit, and PNG 24-bit file type, choose a Web preset, and compare the previewed results. The Web presets are optimized for color, dithering, compression, and smoothing, depending on the file type you choose. You can compare up to four file types by viewing their download speed, image quality, file size, color range, and compression size as well as by panning and zooming in the image. You can also add and delete Web presets of your own.
