● TIFF. Usually created by scanners, TIFF files 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. Compressed TIFF files for images are smaller
than standard TIFF files.
Text or text-and-image file formats
● HTML. HTML is useful for text and graphics that will be viewed on
the World Wide Web. When this format is selected for a scanned
image containing both text and images, the text is converted to
editable text and is saved as HTML, and the graphics are saved as
GIF or JPEG files.
● Rich Text. The RTF format can be used with a page that contains
text or text and pictures. The formatting of text in an RTF file can
usually be retained and then interpreted by other programs.
● Text. Use text file format for saving only the text in the selection
area. Text will be editable, unformatted, ASCII text.
