3 Choose the file format you want from the pop-up menu.
The file format you choose depends on the requirements of the application
into which you plan to import the picture.
m PICT is the basic Macintosh file format for images and is used by almost all
Macintosh programs that read image files.
The PICT QuickTake format is created (and compressed) by the camera.
To open images in this format on a Macintosh, you need the QuickTake
Image and QuickTime extensions. To open images saved in the compressed
PICT formats, you need only the QuickTime extension. To open images
saved in PICT with no compression, use any application that reads PICT.
m TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format. TIFF is another commonly used
file format for storing bitmapped images in various resolutions.
4 Choose the image depth you want from the pop-up menu.
The image depth you choose depends on the printer to which you plan to
send the picture or the monitor on which you plan to display it.
5 Click the Save button (or press Return).

may cause other color images on your
desktop to look strange.
