Filename
Prefix and Suffix field add text to the file name when saving. Toggling "Add applied filters to filename" will help identify the AI filters used to process the image.
When Prefix and Suffix are blank and "Add applied filters to filename" is toggled off, the "Allow overwriting" toggle will appear. We recommend against overwriting files.
Save To
This section allows you to select the output location. Click the dropdown and Browse to pick a location for your new files.
Format
This controls the file type that is exported. "Preserve Input Format" will export the same type as the original. RAW is exported as DNG (an open source RAW file type), TIF as TIF, JPG as JPG, etc.
JPEG format allows you to control the output quality.
- Default JPEG save quality is 95%, which is the most space and quality efficient way to save JPG.
- Lower quality decreases image size dramatically and creates compression artifacts.
PNG format allows you to control the compression and bit depth.
- Compression decreases image size without decreasing quality, but increases save time.
- Bit depth increases color accuracy/detail and prevents artifacts, but increases image size. Preserve bit depth uses the same value as the original file.
TIFF format comes with multiple compression methods and bit depth.
- Compression decreases image size but can increase time to open and save.
- Bit depth increases color accuracy/detail and prevents artifacts, but increases image size. Preserve bit depth uses the same value as the original file.
DNG format will only work for RAW images and export full size DNG files. If you try to convert a non-RAW to DNG, the file will instead be saved as TIF.
Locating Saved Files
