346 CHAPTER 12 Optimizing Images for the Web • Named Setting and select an option from the Named Settings pop-up menu to apply that setting. 3 Under 2-Up Settings or 4-Up Settings, specify settings for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th panes (3rd and 4th panes apply to 4-Up view only): • Original to display the original image in the specified pane. (This option is available for the first pane only.) • Current to display the image with current Optimize palette settings in the specified pane. (This option is available for all panes.) • Auto to display a smaller optimized version of the image generated automatically by ImageReady, based on the current Optimize palette settings. (This option is available for the second, third, and fourth panes.) • Select one of the twelve named settings to display the optimized image with those settings. (This option is available for the second, third, and fourth panes.) 4 Click OK. Using a droplet to automate optimization settings (ImageReady) You can save Optimize palette settings for use on individual images or batches of images by creating a droplet, a small application that applies the optimization settings to an image or batch of images that you drag over the droplet icon. You can drag a droplet to the desktop or save it to a location on disk. When you create the droplet you can choose where the images will be saved. When you drag an image over it, the droplet launches ImageReady if the program is not currently running. Note: You can also drag a droplet onto the ImageReady Actions palette to create an action step, or you can drag a droplet onto a slice to apply the optimization settings to the slice. To create a droplet for automating Optimize palette settings: 1 With an image displayed in the image window, choose a compression format and compression options in the Optimize palette. 2 Create a droplet: • Drag the droplet icon ( ) from the Optimize palette onto the desktop. The droplet is named with a brief description of the compression settings, including file format and color palette or quality setting information. You can rename the droplet as you do other desktop icons. • Click the droplet icon on the Optimize palette. Name the droplet, choose a location where the droplet will be saved, and click Save. • Choose Create Droplet from the Optimize palette menu. Name the droplet, choose a location where the droplet will be saved, and click Save. To use a droplet: 1 Drag a single image or a folder of images onto the droplet icon. As the images are processed, a progress bar appears.
