USING THE SOFTWARE – SAVING IMAGES

3. Select the location to save the image file from the “Save in:” drop-down list

(the pop-up menu on the top of the dialog for Macintosh), and then type the

file name to save in the textbox next to “File name:” (“Name:” for Macintosh).

If you do not type the extension here, the corresponding extension to the type of image file that you will

select in the following Operation 4. will be automatically added at the end of the filename (.tif for TIFF, or

.jpg for JPEG). Therefore, in the case of Macintosh, type the filename not more than 27 characters; if

you type the filename of more than 28 characters, the warning message will be displayed and you will

not be able to save the image file due to the Mac OS restriction on the number of characters that you

can use to a filename.

If you attach the extension not corresponding to the type of image file, the correct extension will be

automatically added to it. For example, if you type “image_01.jpg” as the filename to save an image file

in theTIFF format, the image file will be saved as “image_01.jpg.tif”.

4. Select the type of image file to save from the “Save as type:” drop-down list

(“File Type:” pop-up menu for Macintosh).

Select either “TIFF” or “JPEG”

Select the TIFF format Bit length (number of colors) by clicking either the “24Bit” or the “48Bit” radio

button when you save 48bit TIFF images (TIFF image/RGB 16bit each) or (processed) Minolta-RAW

image files in TIFF format.

24bit – RGB 8bit each, save as a 24bit image.

48bit – RGB 16bit each, save as a 48bit image.

A 48bit image is an image with a finer tone and a higher quality, but its file size is larger. Some

application software may not support a 48bit image.
