1. Using the MATLAB Graphical Environment

Select the figure window that shows the figure to be saved and then follow the steps mentioned below:

• Click on File>>Export Setup.

• A menu named as “Export Setup: Figure Name” must have popped up.

• On the left side of the menu, choose the option named “Rendering”. After that, change the value of:

        - ‘Colorspace’ to ’grayscale’

        - ‘Resolution(dpi)’ to 300

This step is shown in image file “Step3.jpeg” attached to the solution.

• Click on ‘Apply to Figure’ button.

• Click ‘OK’ button.

• The menu should have disappeared and you should see the figure window with all your changes applied.

• Click on File>>Save As.

• Now, you can save the file to your system. Please do not forget to save as “TIFF image”.

2. Saving a figure to an image file programmatically

  a) Use "print" as: 

 

>> print(gcf, '-dtiff', 'myfigure.tiff'); 

 

b) Alternatively, you could do: 

 

>> imagewd = getframe(gcf); 
>> imwrite(imagewd.cdata, 'myfigure.tiff'); 

 

To change the quality of a TIFF file, you can specify 'Compression',''none' and increase the resolution with 'Resolution',300.
