Saving and resetting optimization settings

After you optimize an image, you can return to the artboard without losing your settings. When you choose the Save for Web command again, the optimization settings are just as you left them.

You can also save optimization settings as a named set and apply the settings to other images. Settings that you save appear in the Settings pop-up menu of the Save for Web dialog box, together with the Illustrator predefined named settings. If you edit a named set or a predefined set, the Settings menu displays the term "Unnamed."

To save the current optimization setting:

Do one of the following:

• To save the settings and close the Save for Web dialog box, click Done.
• To save the settings without closing the Save for Web dialog box, press Alt (Windows) or Options (Mac OS), and click Remember.

To reset optimization settings to the last saved version:

Press Alt (Windows) or Options (Mac OS), and click Reset.

To save a named set of optimization settings:

1. With desired settings selected in the Settings panel of the Save for Web dialog box, choose Save Settings from the Settings panel menu.
2. Name the settings, and choose a location where they will be saved. By default, named settings are saved in the Presets/Save for Web Settings/ Optimize folder inside the Adobe Illustrator application folder.
3. Click OK.

To edit a named set of optimization settings:

1. Choose the named set from the Settings pop-up menu.
2. Edit the optimization settings as desired. The Settings menu will display the term "Unnamed," since the settings no longer match a named set.
3. Choose Save Settings from the Settings panel menu, and save the settings with the name of the original set.

To delete optimization settings:

1. Choose a named set or predefined set of optimization settings from the Settings pop-up menu.
2. Choose Delete Settings from the Settings panel menu.
