Snagit Technical Reference Guide : Capture Modes and Output : Image File Format Types and Options : File Format Option Descriptions

File Format Option Descriptions
Depending on the file format chosen, various options are available. See Image File Format Types and Options to find out which options are available for each file format.
Colors
Select the number of colors (color depth) to save in the image. The number of colors available depends on the selected file format.
*Transparency requires 32 bit color depth as well as a file type that supports alpha transparency.
Quality
JPG compression always loses some image quality. Quality specifies the quality of the compressed image, where 100 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. The higher the image quality adjustment, the longer it takes to convert and save the file.
Subfile Type
Select from available subfile types. Depending on the current Colors selection, various Subfile Types are available.
Progressive JPG files are the same as regular JPG files, but the image displays at full size as quickly as possible, and clarifies as it is loaded.
TIFF is a tag-based file format designed to promote universal interchanges of digital image data. There are many versions of TIFF. Snagit supports the standard TIFF formats.
