USING THE SOFTWARE – SAVING IMAGES
3. Select the location to save the image file from the “Save in:”drop-down list
(the pop-up menu on the top of the dialog for Macintosh),and then type the
file name to save in the textbox next to “File name:”(“Name:” for Macintosh).
If you do not type the extension here, the corresponding extension to the type of image file that you will
select in the following Operation 4.will be automatically added at the end of the filename (.tif for TIFF, or
.jpg for JPEG).Therefore, in the case of Macintosh, type the filename not more than 27 characters; if
you type the filename of more than 28 characters, the warning message will be displayed and you will
not be able to save the image file due to the Mac OS restriction on the number of characters that you
can use to a filename.
If you attach the extension not corresponding to the type of image file, the correct extension will be
automatically added to it.For example, if you type “image_01.jpg” as the filename to save an image file
in theTIFF format, the image file will be saved as “image_01.jpg.tif”.
4. Select the type of image file to save from the “Save as type:”drop-down list
(“File Type:”pop-up menu for Macintosh).
Select either “TIFF”or “JPEG”
If you selected “JPEG”, set the compression ratio within the range of 1 (“High Image”) through 100
(“Low Image”) by dragging the slide bar with the mouse.
5. Click “Save”.
