2 Alternative text If you assign alternative text to a slice, then it will not take effect until it is exported into an HTML file. Some browsers display alternative text by default in place of an image while the image is being down- loaded. The alternative text message may contain up to 64 characters and does not have to be in ASCII format. 3 Image title If a title is used, then it will take effect only if it is exported into an HTML file. By default, a browser will display the title as either a tool tip or on the status bar when you move the cursor above the image. The image title message may contain up to 64 characters. These char- acters do not necessarily need to be in ASCII format. Image Options (C  ) These options determine how a slice (the image under the slice) will be rendered before being exported. The Setting mode has three available options: 1 Default options - The slice(s) will share the Slicer’s default setting. 2 Simple setting - Using this mode, you can choose the desired options for anti-aliasing, image format, and JPEG output quality. Anti-aliasing, Image format and JPEG quality image options are the same as the ones that appear in the HTML export dialog. Please see Section 8.19 for information on these Image options. 3 Optimized - When checked, the standard dialog for image optimization will show up. You can set any combination of image parameters. After you close the dialog, a summary of the settings will be displayed along with a small button. Clicking the button will reopen the optimizing dialog. For more information on how to opti- mize an image’s parameters, see GIF/JPEG Exporting in the Can- vas User’s Guide. Note: Although it is possible to select a transparent color (or colors) when optimizing GIFs, such settings will be lost after returning to the Slice Preferences dialog. C Various image options for selected slices are available from the Slice Properties dialog box.
