The Quick Save To Format command provides the ability to save a georeferenced image as another format. It functions similarly to the Adobe Photoshop Save As command, except that it uses default settings to expediate the save process (no options dialog box will appear). Go to Geographic Imager panel options menu and choose Quick Save to Format.

Quick Save to GeoTIFF Notes
Quick Save to GeoTIFF cannot be used with Adobe Photoshop Multichannel images. Instead, convert to RGB mode first (it will keep the additional channels), then save.
Quick Save to Geospatial PDF Notes
The Quick Save to Geospatial PDF command exports any open image with a specified coordinate system to the Adobe Acrobat Geospatial PDF format. There is no external reference file associated with it because it retains all of the georeference information within the PDF itself. It is exported using the Adobe Acrobat PDF 1.7 specification which is fully compatible with Adobe Acrobat 9 and later.
The Adobe Acrobat Analysis Tools allow viewing and marking coordinates, viewing attributes, measuring distances, perimeters and areas. With Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended, the measurement tool is always enabled. To enable this tool in Acrobat Reader 9 (standard), the file must first be opened in Acrobat Pro to enable annotations on the PDF (menu Comments > Enable for commenting and analysis).
32-bit images are not supported when exporting to geospatial PDF.
Quick Save to MrSID Notes
Quick Save to MrSID is only available on Windows. An installation of Lizardtech GeoExpress is required to output to MrSID format. Refer to Lizardtech support (https://www.lizardtech.com/support) and documentation for more information about the MrSID format.
Quick Save to DEM TIFF Notes
- Only 16-bit grayscale modes are supported when saving as DEM TIFF format
- DEM raw values are saved
- GeoTIFF DEM must be imported using Advanced Import.
Quick Save to USGS DEM Notes
- The USGS DEM quick save only supports 16-bit grayscale image mode.
- Saving a rotated USGS DEM is not supported.
Quick Save to NITF
NITF Metadata will now be maintained when you import NITF files into Geographic Imager. When you go to quick save a document to NITF, you will now be met with a dialog. You can specify image compression, edit certain metadata fields and choose which metadata fields to include in your saved NITF file.
