Specifying how proxies display


    By default, Illustrator displays proxies in full resolution, with vectors in full color. However, if you want to increase performance when you're working with many linked files, you can turn off this option in the Preferences dialog box.

To turn off high resolution proxy display:

  1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Files & Clipboard (Windows and Mac OS 9) or Illustrator > Preferences > Files & Clipboard (Mac OS X).
  2. Select Use Low Resolution Proxy for Linked EPS.
