Clicking the Saving tab gives you these options:

 

 

Display Advanced Save Dialog

If this option is selected the user will be presented with the advanced save options screen when they click the save button in the editor.

 

If you are creating images of fixed size and properties you can preset these options in the template (or with runtime code) and then turn this option off to simply the user interface.

 

 

 

Allow Copy Selection to Clipboard in the Editor

If this option is selected the user can copy the current selection of the image (that portion under the target - or the image as visible in the viewer if no target is displayed) to the Windows clipboard using CTRL+C (or the menu option).

 

 

 

Preset User File Save Options

Presetting file save options allows you to precisely control the settings used to save files from the editor.

 

ProImage comes with preconfigured support for saving images in these common file types:

 

●JPEG - Standard JPEG format (most common for photos)

 

●BMP - Standard Windows bitmap format

 

●GIF - Compuserve format - supports transparency, limited colors

 

●PNG - Portable Network Graphics format - a more modern version of GIF files with more colors and better alpha channel (transparency) support

 

●TIFF - Tagged Image File format - capable of multipage images (Due to the complexities of page handling, ProImage does not write multi-page TIFFs, ProScan does)

 

●PDF - Portable Document File format - ProImage can create very lightweight PDF files by making the size of the PDF page equal to the image size, or it can create the image at page size.

 

Note: ImageEx supports saving in additional file formats that are not included in these templates or in the advanced save dialog screen.  This is because the other types are very seldom used and the idea was to simplify the user interface as much as possible.  You can still call and use the other ImageEx Saver types if you need to - however they are not included in the ProImage templates or window.

 

 

 

Save File As

For simplicity the templates will automatically hide the tabs used to set properties for the different file types.  When you change the Save File as you can expose the other file types and set their defaults if needed.

 

Note: All the SaverClass defaults are the same as the default values in the ImageEx docs.

 

 

JPEG

The JPEG preset options allow you to set these properties as specified in the ImageEx docs:

 

 

 

BMP

The BMP type of image has no property settings

 

 

 

GIF

The GIF preset options allow you to set these properties as specified in the ImageEx docs:

 

 

 

PNG

The PNG preset options allow you to set these properties as specified in the ImageEx docs:

 

 

 

TIFF

The TIFF preset options allow you to set these properties as specified in the ImageEx docs:

 

 

 

PDF

The PDF preset options allow you to set these properties:

 

Note: ProImage makes calculation of PDF sizes easy by using a scale that each value of 100 equals one inch.

 

The compression options are as specified in the ImageEx docs:

 

Size PDF to Match Image

This option tells ProImage to create a PDF whose pages are the same size as those set for the image.  Normally you would use this option with the Print Quality image.  Then the same DPI factor that is set for the print image is used.  Other images use 100 DPI when creating PDFs.

 

Hint: Selecting this option makes a PDF file that is highly optimized and the smallest file possible.
