Choosing a file format

With the exception of the JPEG format, this section also explains how to use
the dialog box that appears when you choose each file format’s name from the
Save As submenu (see steps 1 and 2 of the preceding section, “Converting
Image File Formats”). For information about using the JPEG format, see
“Using JPEG Compression” later in this chapter.
