Apple Macintosh PhotoFlash - Manual (Page 128)

Of course, you could just record the script all over again, this time applying
JPEG compression. For a short script like this, rerecording is easy enough.
But rerecording longer scripts may take a long time. Another alternative is to
figure out which part of the script needs to be changed, then change just that
part.
The original script looks something like this:
Notice that the fourth line of the script is so long it disappears off the
right side of the screen and ends up wrapping around to the fifth line. To
see the rest of the fourth line, click in the scroll bar along the bottom of
the script’s window.
But what does it all mean? Don’t worry, you don’t need to know how the
whole script works. You just need to figure out how PhotoFlash describes
JPEG compression settings. Notice that the fourth line includes the words
|UseJPEG|:false. Maybe that has something to do with it.
The easiest way to find out for sure how PhotoFlash describes an action in a
script is to record the action. In this case, you need to figure out which part of
the script controls the compression settings. First open and duplicate an
image to use for recording purposes, then follow these directions:
1 Click the Record button in the Script Palette.
2 Choose Save As from the File menu, but don’t release the mouse button.
3 Drag to the right to choose TIFF from the Save As menu.
The Save As TIFF dialog box appears.
