The Output Tools in the main toolbar let you
set options for the rendering output.
At the top of the Output Tools dialog box, you can select render profiles in the drop-down list from the Smart Control Bar. The profiles contain preset options to speed up rendering. You can also create custom profiles and lock them to prevent changes to the settings.
When you click a tool below, the Output Tools dialog box opens to the tab related to that tool.
