Saving and resetting optimization settings

You can save optimization settings as a named set and apply the settings to other images. Settings that you save appear in the Preset pop-up menu, together with the predefined named settings. If you edit a named set or a predefined set, the Preset menu displays the term "Unnamed."

In Photoshop, after you optimize an image, you can return to it without losing your settings. When you choose the Save for Web command again, the optimization settings are just as you left them.

To save a named set of optimization settings:

1. Set optimization options as desired, and choose Save Settings from the Optimize palette menu.
2. Name the settings, and save them in the Presets/Optimized Settings folder inside the Photoshop program folder.

Note: If you save the settings in a location other than the Presets/Optimized Settings folder, they will not be available from the Preset pop-up menu.

To edit a named set of optimization settings:

1. Choose the named set from the Preset pop-up menu.
2. Edit the optimization settings as desired. The Preset menu will display the term "Unnamed," since the settings no longer match a named set.
3. Choose Save Settings from the Optimize pop-up menu (Photoshop) or the Optimize palette menu (ImageReady), and save the settings with the name of the original set.

To delete optimization settings:

1. Choose a named set or predefined set of optimization settings from the Preset pop-up menu.
2. Choose Delete Settings from the Settings panel menu.

Note: You cannot restore deleted settings, so use the Delete Settings command with care.

• To save the settings without closing the Save for Web dialog box, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), and click Remember.
