This help file contains topics about selected dialog boxes in your Ulead product's package. You can access these topics through those dialog boxes or by navigating through a main help file associated with one of the programs in your package.


BMP Save Options dialog box

Choose whether to save the file as an MS-Windows or OS/2 bitmap.


JPEG Save Options dialog box

Quality Lower quality results in smaller files at the cost of image quality. The default setting offers good compression without significantly affecting the image appearance.

Progressive compression Select to enable the file to open progressively. This also places preview information in the file which enables some programs to view the file without actually opening it.


PSD & TGA Save Options dialog box

Select Run Length Encoding (RLE) for a smaller file size. If you have problems save it again without compression.


TIFF Save Options dialog box

Format Select to save the file for use on a PC-compatible or Apple Macintosh system.

Compression Select the compression method to apply to the file.

Strip size Try the default setting of 8 first. If you need a smaller file, increasing the strip size may help.

Tile size If varying the strip size still does not produce adequate compression, try varying the tile size.

Include preview information Saving a preview makes the file a little bigger offers some programs the ability to display the image without actually opening it.


Photo CD Open Options dialog box

Resolution Select the image resolution for opening PCD files.

Data type Select the data type for opening or viewing PCD files.


PIC Open Options dialog box

Number Select the pen you want to assign a color to.

Color Select a new color for the currently selected pen if you want to change the default.

Width Set the desired width in pixels for the image.

Height Set the desired height in pixels for the image.

Default Click to restore the Width and Height settings to 400 and 300 pixels respectively.


EPS Save Options dialog box

Format The ASCII format is more widely accepted but results in a larger file size. Binary EPS files are about half the size of the same ASCII files.

Clipping path Set low to trace object shapes more accurately in the EPS file. This may be useful if you wish to add text on a path in another program.

Preview TIFF Saving a preview makes the file a little bigger offers some programs the ability to display the image without actually opening it.


This is most useful for images you are preparing for the WWW or other on-line services. It enables viewers to see a representation of the image faster, thus allowing them to decide faster whether to wait to download the entire image for viewing. It is also useful if you wish to automatically see a preview thumbnail in the Open Image dialog boxes for Ulead and other programs that support preview information.

256 x 384

The benefit of choosing this option depends on the image.


When using compression, larger strip sizes offer higher compression ratios. However, some programs may not be able to read TIF files with large strip sizes.

Description Assign a brief description, key words, or other text message to store with the image.

Compression method Select Compress more for the smallest possible file. Select Compress faster to enable faster opening when viewed on-line.

Background color Click the color square to choose a color that appears as a background to the image.
