3.Enter the location, name, file type, and data type.

4.Select an album from the Save to album drop-down menu.

5.Click Save.

oData type describes how much color information the image is saved with. The more color information included in the file, the larger the file tends to be. The highest color data type is True Color and files saved with this data type can be very large. Indexed-256 and Grayscale each contain up to a maximum of 256 distinct colors and generally are quite small.

oSome file types you can use are: BMP for saving your photos at the highest level of quality with no compression; JPEG for photos you want to use on the web or send via e-mail - it compresses photos down while retaining its overall quality; UPX for saving photos with unmerged, free-floating objects. These objects can be used again when the file is re-opened.
