Output Format Properties for Templates

Sets the quality of the JPG file.

Possible values: 1 -12 (the higher the value, the higher the quality).

Default is 12.

If the image contains vector data, check this box to save these data.

Default is checked.

Optimize production by processing a smaller section of the template that contains the uImage Tags, instead of processing the whole template.

Note: This optimization can be used in addition to the Skip Duplicates optimization, which reuses the whole personalized image for all recipients who share the same data.

Define how to optimize the personalized image:

• None: no optimization is performed.

• Speed: uImage processes a smaller section of the template that contains the uImage Tags. This setting calculates the variable section only once, based on the size of the tagged layer, instead of recalculating it for each recipient. This is the fastest production option, but the processed area may be larger than the minimum required for some recipients.

  This option cannot be used with scripts or actions. It also requires setting the copyfitting mode to “Over Fitting”.

• Size: uImage processes the smallest section possible of the template for each recipient, and that area only is saved as the personalized image. This option saves the most disk space.

  This option cannot be used with scripts or actions.

• Custom: the personalized image is a specific area of the template containing all the variable data. This setting requires marking the variable area in the Photoshop template, by drawing a rectangular path named “uImageOptimize” (un-quoted and case insensitive).

  Default is None.

For a detailed description of the Optimize feature and for instructions on the required procedures in Photoshop and InDesign, see "Using the Optimize Feature with uImage templates" (EPS Output Only) in the uImage online help.
