GIF Image (.gif)
GIF is a compressed file format suitable for an
image that will be used on the Web or on multiple
platforms.
JPEG Image (.jpg)
JPEG is a compressed file format for images. Its
strengths are small file sizes and speed. The trade-
off for these advantages, though, is reduced
image quality. Since each time an image is
compressed with JPEG it loses a little of the image
data, avoid compressing a file with JPEG more
than once. JPEG is an appropriate file format for
an image that will be used on the Web or on
multiple platforms.
Text File (.txt)
The Text File file format is used for saving to a .txt
file when:
■
the selection area contains only text
■
the Text output type is applied
■
you want the text converted to editable,
unformatted, ASCII text
TIFF Image (.tif)
TIFF is an industry-standard image file format.
TIFF files are usually created by scanners and 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 (.tif)
Compressed TIFF files for images are smaller than
the TIFF Image files. Images with the
Black & White
Bitmap (raster)
output type are compressed with
PackBits compression. All other output types are
compressed with LZW compression.
PCX Image (.pcx)
The PCX file format is for images used in Windows
programs such as PC Paintbrush and Paint.
Rich Text File (.rtf)
The Rich Text File file format is used with the Save
As Whole Page...
command to create an RTF file of a
page that contains text or text and pictures. The
formatting of text in an RTF file can usually be
interpreted by other programs.
Windows Metafile (.wmf)
The Microsoft Windows Metafile file format is
used for scalable (vector) images in Windows
programs. The .wmf file format is available for
drawings when the
Black & White Scalable (vector)
output type is applied to a selection area that
contains a drawing.
