Locking a color (bitmap export)

(GIF, BMP & PNG, up to 256 colors)

You can specify the number of colors you want in the palette of exported bitmaps. You may want to ensure that certain colors always appear in the palette; you can Lock these colors.

To lock a color

1. The Bitmap Export dialog box displays the bitmap palette. (Color Depths up to 256-color only.) Click on a color to select it.

2. Select the Lock button. A small square appears in the bottom left of the color to tell you it is a locked color.

Notes:

For more information on the Bitmap Export dialog box click the Help button on this dialog box.

You can also select a color using the Color Selector (the "eye-dropper"). Click on the required color in the Preview window.
