2Choose the drive and directory where you want to save the file, or leave it in the default location (C:\PHOTOPLS\PHOTOS).
3Choose the file type. PhotoPlus lets you save in five file formats. Each format has a different internal structure and use:
❙JPG
JPEG is the default format and produces small, compressed files. When you save in this format, the screen displays a slider that allows you to choose the degree of compression. For best quality, choose from 75 to 90 percent.
❙BMP
This is the “native” format for Windows bitmap files.
❙TIF
TIFF files can be used on many types of systems.
❙PCX
The PCX format lets you use your pictures in many Windows and DOS programs.
❙TGA
Targa files were originally designed for specialized hardware and software.

PhotoPlus albums store and display your images, just like the photo albums you use for your printed snapshots. You can organize your pictures by subject matter or date, or in any way you want. Albums let you view miniature “thumbnail” versions of your images, along with image information.
