Converting images

You can convert your photos to either JPEG or TIFF images and in various sizes suitable for different purposes.

JPEG: An image format that uses “lossy” compression to achieve small file size. It’s often used to send photos by e-mail or display photos on the web.
TIFF: An image format that can use “lossless” compression; however, file sizes are usually quite large. Despite that, this is usually the best format to use for import into other applications.

To convert your photo:

Select File > Convert…
Optionally enter a new name for the converted image.
Select a destination folder for the converted image.
Select the type of image to convert to: JPEG or TIFF.
Select the color profile to include.
Select the rendering intent.
Optionally, check Black point compensation (applies only when the rendering intent is Relative Colorimetric).
Optionally, enter a width and height in pixels in the Resize To text fields to scale down your photo.
Optionally, enter a different resolution and select a unit.
Set the quality (for JPEG) or bit depth (for TIFF).
Select whether to use LZW compression (TIFF only).
Click Convert.
