USING ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4

Importing, exporting, and saving

Example of a bitmap image at different levels of magnification

Bitmap images sometimes require large amounts of storage space, and often need to be compressed to keep file sizes

down when used in certain Creative Suite components. For instance, you compress an image file in its original

application before you import it into a layout.

Note: In Adobe Illustrator, you can create bitmap effects in your artwork using effects and graphic styles.

Image resolution guidelines for final output

Bitmap images contain a fixed number of pixels, usually measured in pixels per inch (ppi). An image with a high

resolution contains more, and therefore smaller, pixels than an image of the same printed dimensions with a low

resolution. For example, a

1-inch-by-1-inch image with a resolution of 72 ppi contains a total of 5184 pixels (72 pixels

wide x 72 pixels high = 5184). The same 1-inch-by-1-inch image with a resolution of 300

ppi would contain a total of

90,000 pixels.

For imported bitmap images, image resolution is determined by the source file. For bitmap effects, you can specify a

custom resolution. To determine the image resolution to use, consider the medium of final distribution for the image.

The following guidelines can help you determine your requirements for image resolution:

Commercial printing Commercial printing requires 150 to 300 ppi (or more) images, depending on the press (dpi) and

screen frequency (lpi) you’re using; always consult your prepress service provider before making production decisions.

Because commercial printing requires large, high-resolution images, which take more time to display while you’re

working with them, you may want to use low-resolution versions for layout and then replace them with high-

resolution versions at print time.

In Illustrator and InDesign, you can work with low resolution versions by using the Links panel. In InDesign you can

choose either Typical or Fast Display from the View

> Display Performance menu; in Illustrator you can choose

View

> Outline, or change settings in the Display Performances preferences. Alternatively, if your service provider

supports Open Prepress Interface (OPI), they may provide low-resolution images to you.

Desktop printing Desktop printing usually requires images within the range of 72 ppi (for photographs printed on

300 ppi printer) to 150 ppi (for photographs printed on devices up to 1000 ppi). For line art (1-bit images), make sure

that the resolution of your graphics matches the resolution of the printer.

Web publishing Because online publishing generally requires images with pixel dimensions that fit the intended

monitor, the images are usually less than 500 pixels wide and 400 pixels tall, to leave room for browser window controls

or such layout elements as captions. Creating an original image at screen resolution—96

ppi for Windows–based

images, and 72

ppi for Mac OS–based images—lets you see the image as it will likely appear when viewed from a typical

web browser. When you’re publishing online, the only times you’re likely to need resolutions above those ranges are

when you want viewers to be able to zoom in for more detail in a PDF document, or when you’re producing a

document for printing on demand.
