Note: The options; bmp, gif, jpg, png, tif and webp will display the following Bitmap dialog:

Pixel Size - Select if the output size is to be specified in terms of co-ordinate system units.

Output File Width/Height - Select if the output size is to be specified in terms of bitmap pixels.

Monochrome - Check tickbox if a monochrome bitmap is to be created, instead of using the screen's colour depth.

For tif format there is an additional tickbox in the Bitmap dialog; 'Normalised' GeoTIFF. Check this tickbox if the GeoTIFF metadata is to be 'normalised', i.e. written in full instead of using EPSG codes.
