Saving Pictures in Other Formats

To export the pictures in the current selection in JPEG or TIFF format, click [Export] in the toolbar. Exporting RAW (NEF/NRW) pictures as JPEG or TIFF files allows them to be used with other software. If desired, entire folders can be selected for export.

RAW Pictures

[Export] can be used to save RAW pictures in other formats. To save RAW pictures without converting them to other formats, use [Save] or [Save As] in the [File] menu. More options for use when saving pictures can be found in the [Save] section of the [Options] dialog (0 [Save]).

Choose a format, adjust image quality, size, and other settings, and click [Export] to export the files to a selected folder.

[Original Image]

Export the pictures in the current selection or in selected folders.

  • [Selected images]: Export the pictures in the current selection.

  • [Selected folder]: Export all pictures in a selected folder. To choose the folder, click [Browse].

    • [Include subfolders]: Include pictures in all sub-folders under the selected folder.
    • [Delete originals after operation]: Delete the original pictures from the folder once export is complete.
[Export as]

Choose a format for the exported files from [JPEG], [TIFF (8 Bit)], and [TIFF (16 Bit)].

  • [Quality]: Drag the slider or enter a value to choose the compression ratio when exporting pictures in JPEG format.
  • [Use LZW Compression]: Compress TIFF files using a lossless LZW compression algorithm.

LZW Compression

Enabling LZW compression when converting pictures to 16-bit TIFF may increase file size.

[Resolution]
Export pictures at new resolutions.
[Change image size]
Resize pictures during export. Entering a value for [Long edge] automatically updates [Short edge] to maintain aspect ratios. The units can be selected from [pixels], [inch] (inches), and [cm] (centimeters).
[Remove camera setting information]
Strip shooting data from pictures during export.
[Remove XMP/IPTC information]
Strip XMP/IPTC information from pictures during export.
[Add/Remove ICC color profile]

To add or remove color profiles, select this option and choose [Add] or [Remove]. The profiles added when [Add] is selected vary with the option selected for [Color Management] in the [Options] dialog (0 [Color Management]):

  • If only [Use this instead of an embedded profile when opening images] is selected, the [Default RGB color space] profile (or in macOS, [RGB Default Profile]) will be embedded in pictures during export.
  • If only [Convert images to sRGB color space when they are converted into JPEG/TIFF format] is selected, the sRGB color profile will be embedded in pictures during export.
  • If both are selected, the sRGB color profile will be embedded in pictures during export.
  • If neither is selected, the original color profile will be embedded in pictures during export.
[Save in]

Choose the destination folder for the exported pictures.

  • [Same folder as originals]: Save the exported pictures to the same folders as the original files.

  • [Specified folder]: Save the exported pictures to a selected folder. To choose the destination, click [Browse].

    • [Create a new subfolder for each export]: Automatically create a new sub-folder within the chosen folder each time pictures are exported. To choose how the folders are named, click [Naming Options].
[Change file names]
Rename files during export. To choose how the files are named, click [Naming Options].
