Converting image file formats
The basic procedure for converting image file formats is the same for all the
file formats supported by PhotoFlash: You use the Save As command to select
a different format, adjust the settings in the Save As dialog box for that
format, and save the image.
To convert an image file to a different file format, make sure the image you
want to convert is open in the frontmost window, then follow these steps:
1
Choose Save As from the File menu, but don’t release the mouse button
2
Drag to the right to choose the file format you want to use from the Save As submenu
The dialog box for the file format you selected appears.
Note: Depending on the number of colors the image you are saving uses, the
names of some file formats may be dimmed. See “Changing the Number of
Colors Used by an Image” in Chapter 4 for more information.
3
Adjust the settings in the dialog box.
The options for each of the standard formats supported by PhotoFlash are
described in the next section, “Choosing a File Format.”
