Output options

Allow overwriting existing image files

Select this option to allow Neat Image overwrite existing image files when output images are auto saved by the application (in queued processing).

Preserve image metadata in output image files (when possible)

Check this option to make Neat Image preserving the EXIF, IPTC and other metadata by copying these from the input to output images. Note that copying the metadata to the output image is not always possible. This depends on both input and output file types used and on type of metadata as well. The EXIF data are copied with the following combinations of input and output file types: JPEG->JPEG, JPEG->TIFF, TIFF->TIFF, and TIFF->JPEG. The IPTC data are copied with the following combinations: JPEG->JPEG and TIFF->TIFF.

 

Output bitdepth

This option controls default image bitdepth of the images processed by the filter. For example, if the input image is a 8/24-bit one and the output bitdepth is selected to be 16/48 bits, then the input image will be converted to 16/48 bits, processed with the filter, and the output image will be a 16/48-bit one. If ‘match input’ is selected then the output bitdepth will match the input bitdepth.

 

Output file format

Select the output file format to be used by default when the output image is saved by Neat Image.

Quality

Select the JPEG compression level to be used by default when the output image is saved by Neat Image in the JPEG format.

 

Output file name suffix

Select the suffix added to the output image file name by default. Note that the suffix can be empty only if the Allow overwriting existing image files option is checked in General Options.
