)
```

The name of the target file.

An object containing encoder settings.
 
## Remarks
  
This method determines from encoder options (regardless to the file extension).
 
Using this method is the same as creating appropriate writer derived from [FormatWriter](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Codecs_FormatWriter.htm.md) and running it in synchronous mode.
 
## Examples
  
```
bitmap.Save("c:\result.jpg", New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.JpegEncoderOptions(70, True))
```
 
```csharp
bitmap.Save(@"c:\result.jpg", new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.JpegEncoderOptions(70, true));
```
