## Combining graphics

If you create two overlapping non-layer graphic items, by default Freeway combines them into a single graphic large enough to contain both items when you preview or publish the site, as indicated by the blue rectangle enclosing the items:

In some situations you may prefer to export overlapping graphics as separate graphics. For example, if one graphic contains a photographic image and the other contains text, you may want to set the output type to JPEG for the image and GIF for the text.

### To specify the output settings for combined graphics

- Click the output settings icon at the top of the Inspector palette to display the item output settings.

If one or more combined graphics are selected, a separate Combined Graphic section shows the output settings for the combined graphics:

### To export overlapping graphics separately

- Select one of the overlapping graphics.
- Click the general settings icon at the top of the Inspector palette to display the item general settings.
- In the Properties section uncheck Combine Graphics:

You can now set the output settings for each graphic independently.
