If your .notebook files contain large pictures (pictures over 1 MB in file size), your files could open and run slowly. You can reduce the pictures’ file size without noticeably reducing their quality. As a result, your .notebook files’ overall file sizes will be smaller and the files will open and run more quickly.
To set image optimization preferences
Select Edit > Preferences.
The SMART Notebook Preferences dialog box appears.
Press Defaults.
Select one of the following options in the Image optimization drop-down list:
Ask every time I insert a large image to have the option of reducing or not reducing large pictures’ file sizes when you insert them.
Never change the resolution of inserted images to never reduce large pictures’ file sizes when you insert them.
Always change image resolution to optimize file size to always reduce large pictures’ file sizes when you insert them.
Press OK.
If you selected Ask every time I insert a large image in the Image Optimization drop-down list, you can manually reduce the size of large pictures when you insert those pictures in your file or afterwards.
To reduce the size of a large picture when inserting it in a file
Insert the picture as described in Inserting pictures.
After you press Open, the Image Optimization dialog box appears.
Press Optimize to reduce the picture’s file size.
OR
Press Keep Resolution to not reduce the picture’s file size.
Notes
When you insert a BMP file, SMART Notebook software internally converts the file to PNG format. This conversion reduces the size of the file. As a result, you might not need to export an optimized version of the .notebook file (see Exporting optimized files) even if the BMP file is over 1 MB in size.
SMART Notebook software automatically reduces the file size of pictures over 5 MB or 5 megapixels regardless of which option you choose.
To reduce the size of a large picture after inserting it in a file
Select the picture.
Press the picture’s menu arrow, and then select Image Optimization.
The Image Optimization dialog box appears.
Click Optimize.
If you have existing files that contain large pictures or if you chose Never change the resolution of inserted images in the Image Optimization drop-down list, you can export optimized versions of your files that contain reduced pictures. This is particularly useful when you need to present a .notebook file on an older or less powerful computer.
