Create Output Settings
Create output settings
In GraFx Studio, go to Manage > Output settings to view and configure output settings.
By default, each output format has one preconfigured setting.
To add a new setting, click the + Create button.
Give your setting a relevant name and choose an output file format.
The new setting will appear in the list.
To delete a setting, use the ... menu at the right end of the row.
If all settings are deleted, a placeholder will indicate no output settings exist.
Output settings vary depending on the file format.
