Saving the Page Image

1. Select the images from the Batch window.
2. Select the Save Image As item in the File menu. Select the TIFF format and the Save as multi-page image file option.

Note: If you save several page images from the Batch window as separate files (i.e. the images are not being saved as one multi–page TIFF), the file names will consist of the file name entered, the page number (4 digits), and the file suffix.

TIFF is a universal and widely supported file format. Several compression methods formats are used with this format.

Compression reduces the size of an image. Compression methods are distinguished by the amount of compression and the quality of compressed images. ABBYY FineReader 8.0 supports the following compression methods:

• ZIP is a compression method suitable for images with large areas of single colors (e.g. тs), images created with paint programs, and black-and-white images. ZIP is a lossless method, i.e. it does not affect the quality of resulting images.
• JPEG is a compression method that is usually used for grayscale and color images, such as photographs. The JPEG is a lossy compression method which can greatly reduce the size of an image file. However, the image may appear blocky and acquire a mosaic look, and some shades of color may be lost.
• CCITT is a compression method most appropriate for black-and-white images which were scanned or created with a paint program. CCITT is a lossless compression method. CCITT Group 4 produces good compression for most types of images. CCITT Group 3 is used in fax machines.
• Packbits is a lossless compression method suitable for scanned black-and-white images.
• LZW is a lossless compression method suitable for graphics and gray images.
  Note: In ABBYY FineReader 8.0, this compression method is only available for saving pictures together with recognized text.
