Using the Output Settings dialog box

The Output Settings dialog box displays different sets of options. In ImageReady, you can save your output settings and apply them to other files.

Displaying the Output Settings dialog box

Do one of the following:

• When you save an optimized image, choose Other from the Settings pop-up menu in the Save Optimized or Save Optimized As dialog box. The Save and Load options are not available when you use this method to access the Output Settings dialog box.
• (ImageReady) Choose the desired preferences set from the File > Output Settings submenu or from the document window menu. Use this method if you want to load and save settings.
• (Photoshop) Choose Edit Output Settings from the Optimize pop-up menu in the Save For Web dialog box. Use this method if you want to load and save settings.

Displaying predefined output options

Choose an option from the Preset pop-up menu.

Switching to a different set of options

Choose an options set from the pop-up menu below the Preset menu. Alternately, click Next to display the next set in the menu list; click Prev to display the previous set.

Saving output settings

Set the options as desired, and click Save. Type a filename, choose a location for the saved file, and click Save.

You can save the output settings anywhere. However, if you place the file in the Presets/Optimized Output Settings folder inside the Photoshop program folder, the file will appear in the Settings pop-up menu in both Photoshop and ImageReady.
