Converting images gives you the maximum flexibility
for editing, displaying, and printing your pictures. Keep
in mind that changing an image’s data type is
permanent and sometimes loses information; you
should always keep the original image file and use the
Save AsSave As command to create the converted file.
Five image data types are available on the Convert
menu:
❙ 1-bit black-and-white1-bit black-and-white
This type of image is like a drawing with no shades
of gray. You must convert black-and-white images
to grayscale if you want to use PhotoPlus
enhancements or special effects.
