  • Image format - The format of the saved images. The following formats are supported —
    • BMP

    • JPEG

    • PNG

    • TIFF

    You can use custom image adapters to get support for additional image formats.

Depending on the image format you choose, the following image format settings become available:

  • BMP Format

    • Image color palette - The color depth for image files, which can be —

      • 4 bits (16 colors)

      • 8 bits (256 colors)

      • 16 bits (65536 colors)

    • Compression quality - The number that determines the degree of loss in the compression process. The minimum, 1, yields the smallest files; the maximum, 100, yields the largest files.

    • Gray Scale - Specifies whether saved images are in color or in grayscale.

  • PNG Format

    • Compression level - Specifies the compression level (0 to 9) with the default value of 4. The minimum, 0, means that the file is uncompressed and has the largest size.

    • Interlaced - Specifies whether saved images are interlaced.

  • TIFF Format
