New Image Tab (AutoCAD Raster Design Options Dialog Box)

Use this tab to control the properties for a new image. This includes defining image properties and setting a default color type.

Note: Setting New Image defaults can save you time if you have multiple images that require the same properties.

Width

Displays the default physical width of the image in pixels and the current units. You can use the drop down arrow to choose other units of measurement.

Height

Displays the default physical height of the image in pixels and the current units. You can use the drop down arrow to choose other units of measurement.

Density

Specifies the default density (or resolution) for the new image(s) in pixels per linear unit (example: 300 pixels per inch). You can use the menu to choose other units of measurement.

Note: You should set this value to the density at which your images are scanned.

Default Color Type

Bitonal (1-bit)

Sets a default for an image that consists of only two colors.

Grayscale (8-bit)

Sets a default for an image that contains 256 shades of gray.

Indexed Color (8-bit)

Sets a default color from the AutoCAD palette for an image that contains 256 different colors.

True Color (32-bit)

Sets a default for an image that contains up to 16.7 million colors.

Note: Selecting True Color uses more system resources.
