You may reduce the image resolution without actually loosing the visual image quality: enter the necessary resolution value in the Reduce picture resolution to field.

Note

  1. If you enter a higher resolution value that the source one in the Reduce picture resolution to field, this value will be ignored; the pictures will be saved using the source resolution.
  2. Usually, the default value of 150 dpi is suitable.
  3. If a PDF file has been added to the batch, when exporting it to PDF, HTML, RTF, DOC, Word XML or PPT formats the resolution of pictures will not exceed 300 dpi.

Image format Use this option to specify the saving format of pictures when saving in Word 97 or later. Select ether:
  • JPEG if you wish the pictures to be saved in JPEG format, or 
  • PNG if you wish the pictures to be saved in PNG format.
JPEG quality

When you save an image in JPEG format, the so-called "quality loss" algorithm is used to compress the image, i.e. the compressing technology is bases on averaging the groups of pixels, so that a whole region is saved as a single number and not as a big number of numbers that describe each pixel. The value specified in the JPEG quality field allows to set the desired quality of the image. You may specify a value in the range 1 - 100 (the default is the average value of 50).

The higher the value you specify in this field, the higher will be the quality of the image you save. The size of the image is also affected by this value: the higher the value, the larger *jpg file you get. In order to tune the best proportion size/quality, try to save the image with different JPEG quality value, and then open them in an image viewing application.
