Deleting a color (bitmap export)

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

For web pages you want graphics that download quickly, which means making the files small. One way to do this is to reduce the number of colors used in the palette. In the Bitmap Export dialog box you can either:

type a new value into the Max colors field. This deletes the least used colors.

or selectively delete colors.

To selectively delete a color

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

2. Click the Delete button. A cross appears in the color to tell you it has been deleted.

To undelete a color

This restores a color deleted by reducing the number of colors in the palette.

1. Click on the color to select it.

2. Click the Restore button.

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.
