Saving an image

If you want to preserve changes you make, you have to save the modified
image. The Save and Save As commands in the QuickTake software behave
like the same commands in other computer application programs. In addition,
the QuickTake software provides features that allow you to choose a specific
file format (such as TIFF or BMP) and bit depth.

1

To save the image in the active image window, choose Save As from the File menu.

2

In the dialog box that appears, type a name for the image.

3

Choose the file type you want.

The file type you choose depends on the requirements of the application into
which you plan to import the image.

m

PICT QuickTake (*.QTK)

is created (and compressed) by the camera. To open

images in this format on a computer, you need the QuickTake application.
To be sure that your images can be shared with any Windows computer,
first save the images in a format other than PICT QuickTake before you
transfer them.

The PICT QuickTake format is also used on the Macintosh, and files saved
in this format can be moved between the Macintosh and Windows
environments without need for file translation.

m

TIFF (*.TIF)

stands for Tagged Image File Format. TIFF is a commonly used

file format for storing images in various resolutions.

m

BMP (*.BMP)

is the Windows bitmapped file format.

m

PCX (*.PCX)

is the native format for the Paintbrush application on DOS and

Windows computers. This format is widely used in DOS programs.

m

JPEG (*.JPG)

stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. The QuickTake

software gives you a range of JPEG formats from least compression
(high quality) to most compression (some loss of image quality).
