Image Formats
You can save the Rendered Image in many different formats:
- JPEG - with and without comments - JPG format compresses to the smallest disk file - with some loss of quality due to compression.
- When you save to standard JPG format with comments - the settings you used to create your rendering are saved in the image file.
- This can be useful if you want to create other images later with the same settings and cannot remember what the settings were. See: IRender More Tab
- You can also load just the SketchUp view from the saved .JPG image. See: View Wizard .
- PNG files - compressed and no loss of quality.
- The Transparent PNG option saves the image with the background transparent. It can the be pasted on top of other backgrounds to create special effects.
- Native nXt Image - nXtImage format contains the intensities, depths and materials of each pixel and can be used with the nXt Image Editor for special effects.
- HDRi - saves the rendering image with an intensity channel which can be used in high-end paint programs, or used as a HDRi background or HDRi sky.
- EXR - another format with intensity information.
