Viewing images during optimization


You use a dual image window to view both the original and optimized images in the Save For Web dialog box. This lets you compare the two images and determine which optimization settings work the best. If the entire image is not visible in the view area, you can use the hand tool to bring another area of the image into view. You can also use the zoom tool to magnify or reduce the view.
