Hi,

this has bugged me for a while. When saving a TIFF I usually want to compress it losslessly with LZW. Under OPTIONS -> GENERAL -> READ/WRITE -> TIFF I can see options with LZW, but here its called "Colour options" and "Binary options". In other programs there is an option plainly called "Compression", why not here?

And what is the difference between "Colour options" and "Binary options"? It could be made easier to understand.

Thanks
Troken

It's the compression used if you have a B&W picture (binary option) and compression else (color option)

Maybe you can add the word "Compression" in the options, if thats what it is about, dont you think?
