Save your photos in PSD format (instead of JPEG), unless you plan to share your photos or use them in a web page.
Each time you save in JPEG format, the image data is compressed, potentially causing some data to be lost. You may
start to notice reduced image quality after saving the file as a JPEG 2-3 times. The disadvantage of saving in PSD format
is that the file size increases significantly because the file is not compressed.
Photoshop Elements can save images in several file formats, depending on how you plan to use them. If you are working
with web images, the Save For Web command provides many options for optimizing images. To convert several images
to the same file format, or the same size and resolution, use the Process Multiple Files command.
File formats for saving
Photoshop Elements can save images in the following file formats:
BMP A standard Windows image format. You can specify either Windows or OS/2 format and a bit depth for the image.
For 4-bit and 8-bit images using Windows format, you can also specify RLE compression.
CompuServe GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) Commonly used to display graphics and small animations in web
pages. GIF is a compressed format designed to minimize file size and transfer time. GIF supports only 8-bit color
images (256 or fewer colors). You can also save an image as a GIF file using the Save For Web command.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) Used to save photographs, JPEG format retains all color information in an
image but compresses file size by selectively discarding data. You can choose the level of compression. Higher
compression results in lower image quality and a smaller file size; lower compression results in better image quality and
a larger file size. JPEG is a standard format for displaying images over the web.
Photoshop (PSD) The standard Photoshop Elements format for images. You should generally use this format for edited
images to save your work and preserve all your image data and layers in a single page file.
Photo Creations Format (PSE) The standard Photoshop Elements format for multiple page creations. You should
generally use this format for photo creations to save your work and preserve all your image data and layers in a multiple
page file.
Photoshop PDF (Portable Document Format) A cross-platform and cross-application file format. PDF files accurately
display and preserve fonts, page layouts, and both vector and bitmap graphics.
Note: PDF and PDP are the same except that PDPs are opened in Adobe Photoshop® and PDFs are opened in Acrobat.
Pixar Used for exchanging files with Pixar image computers. Pixar workstations are designed for high-end graphics
applications, such as those used for three-dimensional images and animation. Pixar format supports RGB and grayscale
images.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) Used for lossless compression and for displaying images on the web. Unlike GIF,
PNG supports 24-bit images and produces background transparency without jagged edges; however, some web
browsers do not support PNG images. PNG preserves transparency in grayscale and RGB images.
TIFF (Tagged-Image File Format) Used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms. TIFF is a
flexible bitmap image format supported by most paint, image-editing, and page-layout applications. Most desktop
scanners can produce TIFF files.
In addition, Photoshop Elements can open files in several other older formats: Pixel Paint, Portable Bit Map, SGI RGB,
Soft Image, Wavefront RLA, and ElectricImage.
Save changes in different file formats
You can set options for saving image files, such as the format, and whether to include the saved file in the Elements
Organizer catalog or to preserve layers in an image. Depending on the format you select, other options may be available
to set.
