Conversion Settings > GIF Options (Palette) Lets you control how InDesign handles colors when optimizing GIF files.
The GIF format uses a limited color palette, which cannot exceed 256 colors.
Choose Adaptive to create a palette using a representative sample of colors in the graphic without any dithering (mixing
of small spots of colors to simulate additional colors). Choose Web to create a palette of web-safe colors that are a subset
of Windows and Mac OS system colors. Choose System (Win) or System (Mac) to create a palette using the built-in
system color palette. This choice can cause unexpected results.
Select Interlace to load the images progressively by filling in missing lines. If this option is not selected, an image looks
fuzzy and gradually becomes clear as the image reaches full resolution.
Conversion Settings > JPEG Options (Image Quality) Determines the trade-off between compression (for smaller file
sizes) and image quality for each JPEG image created. Low produces the smallest file and lowest image quality.
Conversion Settings > JPEG Options (Format Method) Determines how quickly JPEG graphics display when the file
containing the image is opened on the web. Choose Progressive to make the JPEG images display gradually and in
increasing detail as they are downloaded. (Files created with this option are slightly larger and require more RAM for
viewing.) Choose Baseline to make each JPEG file display only after it has been downloaded; a placeholder appears in
its place until the file is displayed.
Object > Ignore Object Export Settings Ignore Object Export settings applied on individual images. See Apply Object
