In this area of the dialog you can define the resolution and
colour depth for the export of all raster graphics. If you are
uncertain about the real resolution and colour depth of your images,
just activate the two checkbox switches Use raster image
resolution
and Use raster image colour depth
. Then no data
will be lost during export.
But if you have created a document with images at 1,000 dpi
resolution and you want to e.g. create a PS file for a b&w printer
with a maximum resolution of 600 dpi, it makes sense to reduce the
resolution of images to 600 dpi, too. Click on the popup
Resolution
and select the required resolution there. If the
required resolution is not available there, you may enter it in the
editable fields right of the popup directly. The first value describes
the X resolution of your printer, the second one stands for the Y
resolution.
The selected resolution stands for a maximum resolution of raster
images. If you chose e.g. 1'200 dpi as image resolution and an image
has 1'500 dpi, it will be downsized to 1'200 dpi (on output only). A
300 dpi image instead will not be blown up
to 1'200 dpi!
Hint: If you find that you often need a resolution not
present in the popup, you can make this up in the Settings
function group. Click on the Resolution setup
icon there.
