If you’re not sure which format to use when saving a fi le for the fi rst time, you can safely go with the native Photoshop format, PSD. One good reason to do so is that PSD fi les are more compact than TIFFfi les (see also the sidebar on the following page).
To save an unsaved document:
1. If the document window contains any imagery,you can choose File > Save (CtrlS/Cmd-S); if it’s completely blank, choose File > Save As (Ctrl- Shift-S/Cmd-Shift-S). Th e Save As dialog opens.
2. Type a name in the File Name fi eld A/Save As fi eld (A, next page).
3. Choose a location for the fi le.In Windows, if you need to navigate to a diff erent folder or drive, use the Save In menu at the top of the dialog.
In the Mac OS, click a drive or folder in the Sidebar panel on the left side of the window.
To locate a recently used folder, use the menu below the Save As fi eld.
4. Choose a fi le format from the Format menu.Only the native Photoshop (PSD), Large Document Format (PSB), TIFF, and Photoshop PDF formats support layers (see the information about fl attening layers on pages 134 and146).
5. If you’re not yet familiar with the features listed in the Save area, leave the settings as is.Th e As a Copy option is discussed on page 26.
6. If the fi le contains an embedded color profi le and the format you’re saving to supports such profi les, in the Color area, you can check ICC Profi le/Embed Color Profi le: [profi le name] to save the profi le with the fi le. (To learn about embedded profi les, see pages 10,
13, and 16.)
7. Click Save.
➤ In the Mac OS, to have Photoshop append a three-character extension (e.g., .tif, .psd) to the fi le name automatically when a fi le is saved for the fi rst time, in Edit/Photoshop > Preferences >File Handling, choose Append File Extension:
Always. Extensions are required when exportingMacintosh fi les to the Windows platform and when posting fi les to a Web server.
➤ To learn about the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility option in the File Handling panel of the Preferences dialog,
Once a fi le has been saved for the fi rst time, each subsequent use of the Save command overwrites (saves over) the last version.
To save a previously saved fi le: Choose File > Save (Ctrl-S/Cmd-S).Th e simple Revert command restores your document to the last-saved version.
Note: We know you can’t learn everything at once,but keep in mind for the future that the History panel, which Chapter 10 is devoted exclusively to,serves as a full-service multiple undo feature. Also,a use of the Revert command shows up as a state on the History panel, so you can undo a revert by clicking an earlier history state.
To revert to the last saved version of a fi le: Choose File > Revert.
➤ To undo the most recent modifi cation, choose Edit > Undo (Ctrl-Z/Cmd-Z). Not all edits can be undone by this command. For the other undo
and redo commands
Th e Save As command lets you save a copy of your fi le under a new name (say, to create a design, document color mode, or adjustment variation) or with diff erent options. Another important use of this command is to save a fl attened copy of a fi le in a different format, for export to another application. Th is is necessary because most non-Adobe applications can’t import Photoshop PSD fi les or read Photoshop layers.
To save a new version of a fi le:
1. Choose File > Save As (Ctrl-Shift-S/Cmd- Shift-S). Th e Save As dialog opens.
2. Change the name in the File Name/Save As fi eld. Th is is important!
3. Choose a location for the new version fromnthe Save In menu in Windows or by using the Sidebar panel and columns in the Mac OS. (Read about the new Save As to Original Folder preference on page 390.★)
4. Optional: From the Format menu, choose a different fi le format. Only formats that are available for the fi le’s current color mode and bit depth are listed. Note: If you try to save a 16-bit fi le in the JPEG (.jpg) format, Photoshop will produce a fl attened, 8-bit copy of the fi le automatically.★ Beware! If the format you’ve chosen doesn’t support layers, the Layers option becomes dimmed, a yellow alert icon displays, and layers in the newversion are fl attened.
A DESIGNER’S BEST FRIEND To create document variations within the same fi le, explore the Layer Comps panel; see pages 382–384.
5. Check any available options in the Save area, as desired. For example, you could check As a Copy to have the copy of the fi le remain closed and the original fi le stay open onscreen, or uncheck this option to have the original fi le close and the
copy stay open.Depending on the current File Saving settings in Edit/Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling(and depending on whether you’re working on a Windows or Mac OS machine), some preview andextension options may be available in the Save As dialog. See pages 389–390.
6. In the Color area, check ICC Profi le/Embed Color Profi le: [profi le name], if available , to include the profi le, for color management.
7. Click Save. Depending on the chosen fi le format,another dialog may appear. For the TIFF format,see page 417; for EPS, see pages 418–419; orfor PDF, see page 420. For other formats, see Photoshop Help.
➤ If you don’t change the fi le name or format in the Save As dialog but do click Save, an alert will appear. Click Yes/Replace to replace the original fi le, or click No/Cancel to return to the Save As dialog.
