While EZGenerator itself supports many popular image formats some web browsers do not. SCREEN 4 provides you with
options to pick a web-compatible image formats to save the picture.
You must save the image as a new file if it was modified after an import (inc. scaling, cropping, effects, etc.)
- Use Original Image / Save As (switches) - This option allows you to use the original image file if you have not applied any effects and transformations. The option is disabled if you have edited the
image, or you have accessed this wizard by pressing the Edit Image button in the Insert Images dialog.
- JPEG / PNG / GIF (radio group) - If you have selected to save the image as a new file, these options save the image as a JPEG, PNG
or GIF image.
- JPEG Quality (number selector) - This setting is used if you have selected JPEG as a save file format. The higher the quality, the bigger the image-file.
A value around 70-80% normally produces good quality and acceptable file sizes.
- PNG compression (number selector) - PNG compression vary from 0 to 9. The default PNG compression is 8.
- GIF Bit Depth (number selector) - GIF decreases the total number of colors used in the image. The number of colors is determined by the GIF bit depth (at 8-bit depth, the maximum
number of colors is 256). The higher the bit depth, the bigger the image-file. If you don't use a lot of colors, lower bit depth will produce great results.
- More (toggle button) - Click this button to show the GIF Options area (on the right bottom side of the window)
- Color Reduction (button set) - Select the color reduction scheme used to decrease the number of colors used in a GIF image (according to the GIF bit depth).
- Dither Mode (button set) - Because GIF images have a reduced amount of colors, you can use dithering schemes to reduce artifacts caused by the color-depth compression process,
This drop-down menu provides several dithering modes you can experiment with. Selecting Nearest disables dithering.
