Using Save As
You'll use the Save As command to save files in the PSD format, as well as other common formats like JPEG and PNG.To save a file with Save As:
- With the image open in Photoshop, select FileSave As.
- A dialog box will appear. Type the desired file name, then choose a location for the file. You'll want to use a new file name to avoid accidentally overwriting the original file.
- Click the Format menu and choose the desired file format. In our example, we'll save this image as a JPEG file. If you're saving as a PSD file, make sure the Layers option is checked. However, most other formats won't allow you to select this option.
- Click Save.
- Some file formats, such as JPEG and TIFF, will give you additional
options when saving. Select the desired quality level, then click OK to save the image.
If you've already saved your project as a PSD file, you can select FileSave or press Ctrl+S (Command+S on a Mac) to save your progress at any time. However, if you're working with another format such as JPEG, we recommend using Save As to avoid overwriting your original file.
Open the example file in Photoshop and then try
saving in different file formats, such as PSD and JPEG. Notice how the
PSD format preserves the individual layers, while the JPEG format does
not.
