# Optimizing component properties

   The component is highlighted and its properties are listed in the Properties view.
2. In the Properties view, select the Bitmap tab.
3. Check the box next to optimize.
4. Set the quality for the component.
   You can set the quality to:

- high (16-bit)
- low (8-bit)
- palette dependent

5. If you want to dither the image, check the box next to dither.
   The component properties change in Editor.
