Bitmap Export Dialog Box - Bitmap Size (and Resolution)
This section is not present when saving from the Bitmap Gallery, as you cannot resize the bitmap.
Bitmap Size and Resolution
You can change the size of the exported bitmap by changing:
Size Type the required width or height into one of the fields. Note that the aspect ratio of the bitmap is fixed so changing one dimension automatically changes the other. Size is the easier alternative if you want to create a bitmap to a particular size in pixels.
Scale (Dimmed for JPEG & PNG). This lets you scale the bitmap up or down by a percentage. Scale is the easier option if you want, for example, a bitmap 50% bigger than the original.
Resolution (Dimmed for GIF & BMP). Type the resolution into the dpi field.
Changing either Scale or Resolution recalculates both the Width and Height to retain the aspect ratio of the bitmap.
Tip
Choosing a resolution of 96dpi ensures
the bitmap is the same size as the objects on screen (at 100% magnification).
Area to Save
The bitmap can be created using one of these areas of the document:
Page The whole page area.
Drawing The area covered by objects.
Selection The area covered by the objects in the selection. Only available when objects are selected.
Anti-aliasing
Anti-aliasing improves the appearance of graphics by smoothing jagged edges.
Maintain Screen Anti-aliasing Create the bitmap using the anti-aliasing displayed on the monitor screen. (That is, do not change the anti-aliasing.) This is useful if you have positioned the objects to create a precise anti-aliasing effect.
Minimize Visible Anti-aliasing On export, reposition the objects by up to a pixel to minimize the anti-aliasing required for good results. If in doubt which option to use, select this. (Note for CorelXARA 2.0 [and earlier] users: this is how CorelXARA 2.0 exported bitmaps.)
Put HTML Image Tag on Clipboard
This lets you save out the basic HTML IMG tag information when you save the bitmap. You can then paste the tag into an HTML page using a text editor and modify it if necessary. The tag is saved like this:
<img src="name" width=xxx height=xxx>
Where "name" is the filename and xxx are the width and height in pixels. If you save the graphic to a different folder to the HTML page, you need to edit the filename to point to that folder.
Notes
Putting the tag on the clipboard
overwrites any existing contents of the clipboard.
There is an option on the Image
Map tab to save an image map
to the clipboard. Selecting either of these clipboard options automatically
deselects the other option.
