The GIF export bitmap dialog box is opened by selecting GIF as the exported file format from the Export dialog box. It allows the setting of the size/resolution of the exported bitmap, the area to be exported and the number of colors in the bitmap. In addition Xara LX also allows GIF files to contain simple transparency and interlacing - two facilities of GIF files used extensively on the Internet. For details of how to create a GIF file, see Creating GIF files.

Exporting from the Bitmap Gallery

If you export a bitmap using the Save button in the Bitmap Gallery, only one tab will appear because you can only change the basic bitmap settings. You cannot for instance resize it. If you need more options, select the bitmap in the document and use Export on the File menu.

Note

This button reads Apply when setting options in the Name Gallery (because you are setting options prior to Exporting a sliced image). Otherwise it reads Export.
