Select the bitmap in the library activate the drop down box from the

arrow in the upper right and select Properties.

In the Bitmap Prpoerties you can set the JPEG quality for an individual

bitmap or select LossLess. Try the Test function to see file size and a

sample of what the bitmap will look like for that setting.

Yes, but it generally is a lot of trial and error.

Note it the Bitmap Properties area you can Update the bitmap when you

make an external change to the file.

The one thing that always helps is making large areas that are spinked

with unneeded noise or detail into a single homogeneous color. This

reduced file size or allows better quality in both JPEG and Lossless

exports.
