For any given session of Microsoft Visio, when the RasterExportColorFormat 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 RasterExportColorFormat property corresponds to the Color format setting in the BMP Output Options, JPG 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), JPEG File Interchange Format (*.jpg), Portable Network Graphics (*.png), or Tag Image File Format (*.tif), and then click Save.)
