through the
Save As
command.
JPEG Image (.jpg)
JPEG is a compressed file format for images. Its
strengths are small file sizes and speed. The trade-off
for these advantages, though, is reduced image quality.
Since each time an image is compressed with JPEG it
loses a little of the image data, avoid compressing a file
with JPEG more than once. JPEG is an appropriate file
format for an image that will be used on the Web or on
multiple platforms.
You can save your JPEG file as a progressive JPEG.
When used on a web page, a progressive JPEG is
initially sent as just every other line, with the remaining
lines sent immediately after. This allows a (somewhat
blurry) image to display sooner. Most people prefer
this.
PCX Image (.pcx)
The PCX file format is for images used in Windows
programs such as PC Paintbrush and Paint.
PDF (.pdf)
PDF is a searchable format useful for text, photos, and
drawings. Use Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF files.
Rich Text File (.rtf)
The Rich Text File file format is used with the
Save As
Whole Page...
command to create an RTF file of a page
that contains text or text and pictures. The formatting
of text in an RTF file can usually be interpreted by other
programs.
Text File (.txt)
The Text File file format is used for saving to a .txt file
when:
the selection area contains only text
the
Text
output type is applied
you want the text converted to editable, unformatted,
ASCII text
TIFF Image (.tif)
TIFF is an industry-standard image file format. TIFF
files are usually created by scanners and are widely
accepted by programs that work with photographs and
other images. A TIFF file is a bitmapped graphic (also
called a raster graphic) and can be any resolution. TIFF
image files can be used on multiple platforms.
TIFF Compressed (.tif)
Compressed TIFF files for images are smaller than the
TIFF Image files. Images with the
Black & White Bitmap
(raster)
output type are compressed with PackBits
compression. All other output types are compressed
with LZW compression.
Windows Metafile (.wmf)
The Microsoft Windows Metafile file format is used for
scalable (vector) images in Windows programs. The
.wmf file format is available for drawings when the
Black & White Scalable (vector)
output type is applied to a
selection area that contains a drawing.
