The Creating a single raster base map option will export your entire project to a TIF file (asking you to specify a resolution) and automatically import that TIF file into Surfer as a single georeferenced base map. You will not be able to edit the image components once it is in Surfer.

The Exporting individual objects option will create a separate base layer for each image, polyline, and polygon in the Didger project and create a separate post layer for all the points in the project. All the base layers and post layers will be overlaid into a single map object in Surfer. The images will be exported from Didger in 300 dpi resolution (using the physical size under Map | Project Limits) and polylines and polygons will be exported to DXF files. This allows you to edit the individual objects even after they are automatically imported into Surfer.
