Custom Publish Area
Publish area defines the boundary, resolution, and print size of a published output file. Publish area is ON by default on a new document and the border is defined by the pixel size. What you see in this area is what you get in the publish output.
Note: Publish area can be altered per snapshot.
Publish Area Options
- Pixel Size Presets - Select the pixel size from a preset list to define the publish area.
- Pixel Size Custom - Manually define width and height.
- Print Size Preset - Print size is the size to print after a publish to a certain format. The publish area pixel size is automatically set based on the print size.
- Print Size Custom - Manually define width and height.
- Resolution - Sets the pixel per inch value for the set publish area.
- Visibility - Turns on/off the publish area border on the canvas.
When you change the size of the current publish area, a dashed box gives you a preview of the new size.
