Control (UI) Default Value Function
pngBitDepth auto Sets the bit depth of the rendered file. The default
value, auto, means Katana tries to determine the bit
depth from the colorspace. The other options are:
• 8-bit
• 16-bit
inputs > mode: file > image > fileFormat: tif or tiff
tifCompression LZW The tiff compression method to use:
• None - No compression method is used.
• LZW - The LZW compression method is used. This is
lossless, so it is usually preferable to use it unless
there is an issue with compatibility in the target
reader.
tifBitDepth auto The bit depth of the rendered file. The default value,
auto, means Katana tries to determine the bit depth
from the colorspace. The other options are:
• 8-bit
• 16-bit
• 32-bit
tifPredictor None The predictor type to use when tifCompression is
enabled:
• None - No prediction is used.
• Horizontal - Horizontal prediction is used. This can
result in smaller file sizes, but may present
compatibility issues for some programs, such as
MAXON's Cinema4D.

jpgQuality 100 The quality to use when generating the jpg file. Higher
values generate larger file sizes, with 100 representing
the best quality image and 0 representing the lowest.
inputs > mode: file > bounds
