PhotoFlash can open and save image files in a variety of formats. This means
you can use PhotoFlash to convert image files saved in one format to another
format. Most image file formats also allow you to compress an image file so
that it doesn’t take up as much room on disk when you save it.

This chapter describes how to convert image files from one format to another.
It discusses the five standard file formats supported by PhotoFlash and
describes how to use JPEG compression, which is a standard format for
image compression that can be used with most file formats.

If you have installed any Photoshop-compatible plug-in modules in the
PhotoFlash Plug-ins folder, additional file formats that aren’t described here
may show up in the Save As submenu. See the documentation that came with
the plug-in modules for information about using them.
