ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS

Tagged-Image File Format (TIFF) is used to 
exchange files between applications and computer 
platforms. TIFF is a flexible bitmap image format 
supported by virtually all paint, image-editing, 
and page-layout applications. Also, virtually all 
desktop scanners can produce TIFF images.

Choose File > Save As, and choose TIFF from 

the format list.

Specify a filename and location, select saving 

options, and click Save.

Select a byte order to determine file compati-

bility with IBM PC or Macintosh computers.

Select LZW Compression to compress the 

image and reduce the file size.

Click OK.

Choose Edit > Preferences > Saving Files, and 

select Enable advanced TIFF save options.

Choose File > Save As, and choose TIFF from 

the format list.

Specify a filename and location, select saving 

options (as described in “Saving images” on 
page 246), and click Save.

Select a compression method. (See “Under-

standing file compression” on page 245.) Keep in 
mind that some applications cannot open TIFF 
files that are saved with JPEG or ZIP compression. 
If you plan to open the TIFF file in an application 
other than Photoshop Elements, LZW 
compression is recommended.

Select a byte order to determine file compati-

bility with IBM PC or Macintosh computers.

Select Save Image Pyramid to create a pyramid 

data structure that contains multiresolution infor-
mation. The highest resolution is the image’s 
resolution when you save it. 

Select Save Transparency if you want to preserve 

transparency when the file is opened in another 
application that supports PDF transparency. 
When reopening the file in Photoshop Elements, 
transparency is always preserved, regardless of 
whether you select this option.

Click OK.
