Bitmap size

Horizontal Pixels and Vertical Pixels set the maximum width and height of the image.

  1. Unused Area

· When you expprt an image, the image ratio is not usually the same as the bitmap size ratio.

· If you select Normal, the final image will be exactly the same width and height as the bitmap size. Any additional entities in the map will be added to the final image.

· If you select Crop means that the final image sized will have the same ratio as the selected entities or map. The image will have a lower height or width.

· If you select Blank the final image will be exactly the same width and height as the bitmap size. Any area outside the selected enties will be blanked out.

PNG compression

Higher compression means a smaller PNG size file and vice versa.

JPEG

· Quality controls the appearance and size of the JPEG. Lower quality JPEGs open more quickly and have a smaller file size, but have less data.

· If Progessive is ticked, the image will open with increasing resolution in a web browser, rather than all at once.

BMP (clipboard)

· When you copy to the clipboard you can choose between 8- and 24-bit color depth. Save As always uses 24-bit color depth.
