  • Compression Settings. From Grayscale and Color, specify compression settings that balance file size with image quality. The smaller the file, the lesser the image quality.

  • Tile Size. It divides the image being compressed into tiles of the given size. Image data for each tile is individually compressed and can be individually decompressed. The default value of 256 is recommended. This option is available only for JPEG 2000 format.
