Save As…

The Save As… feature enables you to save the current image into a different file, with the ability to change the location, the file name, and the file format.

Each file format provides you with different options when saving:

NEF

Use Compression

Choose whether or not you want to compress your NEF

RAW file. You are provided with the following options:

❏Compressed

Files are compressed using a non-reversible algorithm, reducing file size by about 40 to 55 percent with negligible loss of image quality.

❏Lossless compressed

Files are compressed using a reversible algorithm,

reducing file size by about 20 to 40 percent with no loss of quality.

A Please note: This option is only accessible if the NEF if the file created within your camera was not compressed.

TIFF

Color Model

Choose from two different color models to save your image data in:

❏RGB

This color model saves your image information with red, green, and blue color channels, and is recommended for most images.

❏CMYK

This color model saves your image information with cyan, magenta, yellow, and black color channels, and is recommended only if you will be saving your images for printing with a device that requires a CMYK image.
