Converting images
1 of 2
You can convert your photos to either JPEG or TIFF images
and in various sizes suitable for different purposes.
- JPEG
-
An image format
that uses "lossy" compression
to achieve small file size.
It's often used to send photos by e-mail or display photos on the web.
- TIFF
-
An image format
that can use "lossless" compression;
however, file sizes are usually quite large.
Despite that, this is usually the best format to use
for import into other applications.
To convert your photo:
- Select File > Convert Image... or Browser > Convert...
- Optionally enter a new name for the converted image.
- Select a destination folder for the converted image.

in the Resize To text fields
to scale down your photo.
-
Optionally, enter a different resolution and select a unit.
