          for exporting ________
                        Photo CD images. Once you've made your 
          selections, choosing OK will display another dialog box so
that 
          you can specify where you want the exported files stored.

          Export File Format
 
           Clicking on the arrow lists the file formats available for 
            selection. The choice of formats includes three bitmap 
            formats (BMP, PCX and TIFF) and EPS, a vector format that 
            page layout programs such a Ventura Publisher and Aldus 
            PageMaker support. 
            NOTE: EPS files CorelMOSAIC exports do not include an image
           header.

          Export File Size
 
           Lets you specify the size at which the image is exported. 
            Click on the arrow to display a list of the sizes you can 
            choose from. All images are exported with 24-bit color. 
            NOTE: The amount of disk space required to store the image 
            increases with the image size. Choosing the largest size,
for 
            example, produces a file that's roughly 18 megabytes in
size. 
            The time required to export the file also increases with 
            image size.   

          Shortcut
 
           Double-clicking on a thumbnail exports the image and then 
            opens it in CorelPHOTO-PAINT. Note, unless you specified 
            differently with this command, the image will be exported 
            in Windows BMP format at 768x512 pixels.
