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.
