Using droplets to automate optimization settings (ImageReady)
You can save Optimize palette settings for use on individual images or batches of images
by creating a droplet for the settings. The droplet lets you apply the compression settings
to an image or batch of images that you drag onto the droplet icon.
To create a droplet for automating Optimize palette settings:
1 With an image displayed in the image window, choose a compression format and
desired compression options in the Optimize palette. (See
page 415.)
