image as you would any other Canvas paint object. When you leave
image-editing mode, Canvas stores the changes in the Canvas Image
File and then displays the proxy again.
To create a proxy linked to a Canvas Image File
1
In the Canvas document, select the image object you want to
replace with a proxy.
2
Choose Image > Proxy > Make Proxy. A directory dialog box
appears.
3
Select a location on disk and type a name for the Canvas Image
File that Canvas will create.
4
Click Save. The Make Proxy dialog box appears.
5
Type a value in the Make...Times Smaller box. The larger
this number, the lower the proxy resolution and the less memory
required by the proxy in the document. The value must be from 1 to
1,000.
6
Click OK. Canvas replaces the image with a proxy and creates
a file containing the original image on disk. The proxy is linked to
the Canvas Image File on disk.
If you click Cancel, Canvas closes the dialog box without replacing
the original image, placing the proxy, or storing the image file on
disk.
Final output with proxies and Canvas Image Files
To produce final high-resolution output from a document, you may
need to copy the Canvas document from your disk to another storage
media, such as a Zip disk. When you copy a document that contains
image proxies, you need to copy the linked high-resolution Canvas
Image File also, to be able to print the high resolution images.
Make sure when you copy the documents to another disk, that you
maintain the original folder structure. It is a good idea to open the
Canvas document that you copied, and check that the links have not
been broken. See To verify proxy links on page 36.731 for more
information.
You can also replace a proxy with its linked image to eliminate the
need to copy the Canvas Image File. To learn how to do this, see To
replace a proxy with its linked image on page 36.731.
