Using named optimization settings


    You can save optimization settings as a named set and apply the settings when you work with other images. Settings that you save appear in the Optimize menu in the Settings panel of the Save For Web dialog box. GoLive also includes several predefined named settings.

    When you adjust optimization settings so that they no longer match a named set, the Settings menu displays the term "Unnamed."

To save optimization settings:

  1. With desired settings selected in the Optimize panel of the Save For Web dialog box, choose Save Settings from the Optimize menu in the Settings panel.
  2. Name the settings and choose a location where the settings will be saved. By default, named settings are saved in the Optimize folder inside the user application data folder. This is the only location where the settings will be recognized by GoLive so they appear in the Optimize menu.
  3. Click Save.

To apply named optimization settings to an image:

    With an optimized image displayed, select a named set of optimization settings from the Optimize menu in the Settings panel.

To edit a named set of optimization settings:

  1. Select the named set from the Settings pop-up menu in the Save For Web dialog box.
  2. Adjust the settings in the Optimize panel.
  3. When you adjust the settings, the Settings menu displays the term "Unnamed" because the new settings no longer match a named set.

  4. Choose Save Settings from the Optimize menu in the Settings panel, and then save the settings with the name of the original set.
  5. Click Save, and then click Replace.

To delete named optimization settings:

  1. In the Optimize panel of the Save For Web dialog box, select a named set of optimization settings from the Settings pop-up menu.
  2. Choose Delete Settings from the Optimize menu in the Settings panel.
