Saving images

The saving options that are available to you vary between Photoshop and ImageReady. Keep in mind that the primary focus of ImageReady is producing images for the Web. If ImageReady doesn't provide the file format or option you need, you can jump to Photoshop.

You can use the following commands to save images:

• Save to save changes you've made to the current file. In Photoshop, the file is saved in the current format; in ImageReady, the Save command always saves to PSD format.
• Save As to save an image with a different location or filename. In Photoshop, the Save As command lets you save an image in a different format and with different options. In ImageReady, the Save As command always saves to PSD format.
• Export Original (ImageReady) to flatten the layers in a copy of the original image and save the copy in a variety of file formats. Some information (such as slices and optimization settings) is not preserved when an original image is saved to file formats other than Photoshop.
• Save for Web (Photoshop), Save Optimized (ImageReady), and Save Optimized As (ImageReady) to save an optimized image for the Web. (See Optimizing images and Saving optimized images.)
