ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 253 User Guide TIFF format Tagged-Image File Format (TIFF) is used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms. TIFF is a flexible bitmap image format supported by virtually all paint, image-editing, and page-layout applications. Also, virtually all desktop scanners can produce TIFF images. To save a file in TIFF format: 1 Choose File > Save As, and choose TIFF from the format list. 2 Specify a filename and location, select saving options, and click Save. 3 Select a byte order to determine file compatibility with IBM PC or Macintosh computers. 4 Select LZW Compression to compress the image and reduce the file size. 5 Click OK. To save a file with advanced TIFF options: 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Saving Files, and select Enable advanced TIFF save options. 2 Choose File > Save As, and choose TIFF from the format list. 3 Specify a filename and location, select saving options (as described in "Saving images" on page 246), and click Save. 4 Select a compression method. (See "Understanding file compression" on page 245.) Keep in mind that some applications cannot open TIFF files that are saved with JPEG or ZIP compression. If you plan to open the TIFF file in an application other than Photoshop Elements, LZW compression is recommended. 5 Select a byte order to determine file compatibility with IBM PC or Macintosh computers. 6 Select Save Image Pyramid to create a pyramid data structure that contains multiresolution information. The highest resolution is the image's resolution when you save it. Note: Photoshop Elements doesn't provide options for opening multiresolution files such as PNG format or Photo CD; however, Adobe InDesign and some image servers provide support for opening multiresolution formats. 7 Select Save Transparency if you want to preserve transparency when the file is opened in another application that supports PDF transparency. When reopening the file in Photoshop Elements, transparency is always preserved, regardless of whether you select this option. 8 Click OK.
