Tiff (Black and White) (B&W)(*.tif)

Exports as a black and white tiff (tagged image file format) image with the option to choose the pixel size or the width and height of the image in pixels. Additional configuration options include whether to create a worldfile, what dithering algorithm, the interleaving method, the profile and whether it is tiled. TIFF is a container format including images and data within a single file with header files describing the internal properties such as the size, definition and applied compression.

When you use this command, the extents of the saved image are not necessarily those of the view you see on screen. What is saved is the extents of your last zoom. In the case of raster data, the image dimensions are forced to match the aspect ratio of the current view.
