• Pixel – This allows the user to enter the size manually in Pixels, this choice should be

choice should be used with care as it will change all dimension of the image.

• Aspect ratio height based – This option will enable the change of height to any value,

the software will calculate the width based on aspect ratio of image.

11. JPG Image Quality Setting

The software mainly uses this if you are saving the image as “jpg” format. A “100%” means

the image will not be compressed and will keep the same quality. The lower this figure is the

lower the quality of the saved image. However “100%” quality has a larger size. Setting the

quality setting to “80%” or “75%” is normally in the acceptable range.

12. Batch file Saving Mode

This setting mainly confined to the Batch processing mode. If you have several files that you

loaded in “6”, each with different file format i.e. “gif, jpg, bmp…..etc”, selecting “Keep

original file extension” will as suggested keep your original extension by saving the newly

processed image with the original file format that was loaded for it. You can choose to

convert all processed images to one file format by selecting “Save all processed images as”

then select the format you want to use from the available formats “jpg, png, gif or bmp”
