Is it possible to save TIFF default settings? - ScanEditor - 06-13-2026

I'm opening multiple uncompressed TIFF files and exporting them someplace else after editing.
I have to manually select LZW compression from the dropdown every time.
Is it possible to set it as a default, even when exporting an uncompressed file?


Thanks in advance.

If that is your workflow, opening multiple files maybe try the batcher plugin https://kamilburda.github.io/batcher/

Plenty examples on the site. It adds over-many entries to the file menu (which you can relocate with a little editing)
However with several files open and using "Export Images"
(1) Set a destination
(2) Set an Output format
(3) Change the name if you want
(4) Save the settings for future use.
