If you choose Ascii as you output filetype your files may become quite big. Therefore you should only use this exporter if you have enough workspace on your harddrive.

These options are

• TFW: Choose whether you want to create a TFW file, which are needed by some programs for georeferencing.
• Compress: Choose between different compression types. Be aware that not all programs can decompress each type.
• Predictor: Set the predictor for the selected compression format. The default is 1 (no predictor), 2 is horizontal differencing and 3 is floating point prediction.
• ZLevel: Set the level of compression (only relevant when using DEFLATE compression). 9 is the highest and 1 the lowest compression.
