Enhancing Images

Image quality will be affected if the same image is saved multiple times in JPEG format.
The Save Button
Clicking the button saves any changes to the current file, overwriting the original image. The Save As
dialog is not displayed.
Save button
JPEG
This file type is adequate for images that will be output at low resolution or distributed in
electronic form. Compression allows more images to be saved in the same amount of disk
space while preserving the ICC profile and caption information. Note, however, that JPEG
compression results in loss of image information that can not afterwards be restored. Save
files at the lowest compression ratio possible; if necessary, you can always save them again at
a lower compression ratio. EXIF is an extension of the JPEG format that allows thumbnail data
and information about the image to be included in a JPEG file.
Options for Saving Image Files
Nikon Capture offers two options for saving files: Save and Save as…. The Save option
saves the image in the same location as the original without changing the file name or format.
The Save as… option lets you choose a location, file name, and format.
Using the “Save” Command
To save changes to an image without creating a new file, click the button or select Save
from the File menu. The existing file will be overwritten.
