For BMP, PNG, and TIFF files, the default is no color reduction.
For any given session of Microsoft Visio, when the RasterExportColorReduction property value is set, either programmatically or in the user interface, the setting then becomes the new default for the remainder of the session. However, it is not persisted to the next session.
The setting of the RasterExportColorReduction property corresponds to the Color reduction setting in the BMP Output Options, GIF Output Options, PNG Output Options, or TIFF Output Options dialog box. (Click the File tab, click Save As, in the Save as type list, select Windows Bitmap (*.bmp; *.dib), Graphics Interchange Format (*.gif), Portable Network Graphics (*.png), or Tag Image File Format (*.tif), and then click Save.)
