CHAPTER 9
saving JPEGs, TIFFs, and more
Man, if there's a more exciting chapter than
one on how to save a JPEG, I can't wait to see
it, because this has to be some really meaty
stuff. Okay, I'll be the first to admit that while
this may not seem like an incredibly exciting
chapter, it's about much, much more than
saving JPEGs. That's right—it's also about
saving TIFFs. Okay, I gotcha on that one
(come on—you know I did), but in reality
there is more to this process than you might
think, so if you spend just a few minutes now
reading this short chapter, I promise you it
will pay off in saved time and increased pro-
ductivity in the future. Now, at this point you
might be thinking, “Hey Scott, that last part
was actually somewhat helpful. What's that
doing in a chapter intro?” I honestly don't
know how that snuck in here, but I can tell
you this (and I'm being totally truthful here),
it's really late at night as I write this, and
sometimes if I'm not really paying attention,
some actual useful information winds up
sneaking into one of these chapter intros,
rendering them totally useless. I do my best
to make sure that these chapter intros are
completely unfettered (I can't tell you how
few times I've been able to use the word
“unfettered” in a sentence, so I'm pretty
psyched right now), but sometimes, against
my better judgment, everything just starts to
make sense, and before you know it—some-
thing useful happens. I try to catch these in
the editing process by copying-and-pasting
the entire chapter intro into the Pimp Name
Generator (that's four times in one book.
Cha-ching!), and then those results get
copied-and-pasted back here as the final
edited version for print. See, I do care. Pimp!
