Setting the quality of JPEGs

To set the quality of JPEG files, follow these steps:

  1. Click the FrameMaker and Generated Files folder. (If you want to set a custom mapping for a single file, click that file instead.)
  2. Select Project  Properties, or right-click and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
  3. Click the Macros tab.
  4. In the Macro Name drop-down list, select UMGraphicJPEGQuality. The default for the UMGraphicJPEGQuality user macro-75-is displayed as grayed-out text. The quality of JPEGs is on a scale of 1 to 100. Lower values create JPEGs with lower quality, but the size of the files is smaller because the compression is higher. Higher values create JPEGs with higher quality but lower compression.
  5. Click the Let me override the value for this macro when converting this file check box. The default becomes black to indicate you can change it.
  6. In the Macro Value field, type a new value over the default.
  7. Click OK to save your changes.
  8. Regenerate your project (or the graphic you want to change) to see the new graphic output.
