Saving files

You can save a file with its current filename, location, and format or with a different filename, location, format, and options. You can also save a copy of a file while leaving the current file open on your desktop.

To save changes to the current file:

Choose File > Save.

To save a file with a different name and location:

1. Choose File > Save As.
2. Type a filename, and choose a location for the file.
3. Click Save.

To save a file in a different file format:

1. Do one of the following:
• (Photoshop) Choose File > Save As.
• (ImageReady) Choose File > Export Original.
2. Choose a format from the format pop-up menu.

Note: In Photoshop, if you choose a format that does not support all features of the document, a warning appears at the bottom of the dialog box. If you see this warning, it is recommended that you save a copy of the file in Photoshop format or in another format that supports all of the image data.

3. Specify a filename and location.
4. (Photoshop) Select saving options. For more information, see Setting file saving options (Photoshop).
5. Click Save.

With some image formats, a dialog box appears. For more information, see one of the following:

To copy an image without saving it to your hard disk, use the Duplicate command. (See Duplicating images.) To store a temporary version of the image in memory, use the History palette to create a snapshot. For more information, see Making a snapshot of an image (Photoshop).
