The meaning of the two text versions differs:

The first text - improbably - implies that the source image will be converted to a 24-bit image, although that is not what is meant.

The second text correctly states that the image will be saved to a 24-bit RGB file, but ideally would also include the first text's '24-bits per component' text.

Suggested better wording:

Image will be saved as 24-bit RGB with 8 bits per component

1st part - OK
2nd part - I prefer "(8bits per channel)", with parentheses
bps - bits per component/channel/color, all of which are synonyms
I just don't see any reason to use 'component' only in this one place when all menus/commands use 'channel'.
