image as you would any other Canvas paint object. When you leave image-editing mode, Canvas stores the changes in the Canvas Image File and then displays the proxy again. To create a proxy linked to a Canvas Image File 1 In the Canvas document, select the image object you want to replace with a proxy. 2 Choose Image > Proxy > Make Proxy. A directory dialog box appears. 3 Select a location on disk and type a name for the Canvas Image File that Canvas will create. 4 Click Save. The Make Proxy dialog box appears. 5 Type a value in the “Make...Times Smaller” box. The larger this number, the lower the proxy resolution and the less memory required by the proxy in the document. The value must be from 1 to 1,000. 6 Click OK. Canvas replaces the image with a proxy and creates a file containing the original image on disk. The proxy is linked to the Canvas Image File on disk. If you click Cancel, Canvas closes the dialog box without replacing the original image, placing the proxy, or storing the image file on disk. Final output with proxies and Canvas Image Files To produce final high-resolution output from a document, you may need to copy the Canvas document from your disk to another storage media, such as a Zip disk. When you copy a document that contains image proxies, you need to copy the linked high-resolution Canvas Image File also, to be able to print the high resolution images. Make sure when you copy the documents to another disk, that you maintain the original folder structure. It is a good idea to open the Canvas document that you copied, and check that the links have not been broken. See “To verify proxy links” on page 36.731 for more information. You can also replace a proxy with its linked image to eliminate the need to copy the Canvas Image File. To learn how to do this, see “To replace a proxy with its linked image” on page 36.731.
