Saving a JPEG file
To save a copy of your image for sharing online, whether on a web site or to send through e-mail, you will
save it using the JPEG file format. In this lesson, you will use the Save menu, but in Lesson 13, “Creating
Images for Web, Video, and Interactive Use,” you will discover additional features when saving files for
use online, including how to use the Save for Web feature in Photoshop.
1 Choose File > Save As.
2 In the Save As dialog box, type hockey in the File name text field. From the Format drop-down menu,
choose JPEG. If necessary, navigate to the ps02lessons folder so the file is saved in this location, then
click the Save button. The JPEG Options dialog box appears.
3 In the JPEG Options dialog box, confirm that the quality is set to maximum, and leave the format op-
tions set to their defaults. Click OK. This completes the Save process for your file.
4 Choose File > Close to close the file and click Save when prompted.
Because JPEG is supported by web browsers, you can check your file by opening it and using any
web browser, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari. Open the browser and choose
File > Open, which can appear as Open File or Open Location, depending upon the application.
Navigate to the ps02lessons folder and double-click to open the file you saved.
Saving for print
In this part of the lesson, you will change the color settings to choose a color profile more suitable for print
to help you preview and prepare your file for printing. You will change the resolution of the image before
saving it.
Changing the color settings
You will now change the color settings to get a more accurate view of how the file will print.
1 If ps0201_work.psd is not open, choose File > Open Recent > ps0201_work.psd . You can use the
Open Recent command to easily locate your most recently opened files. The file opens.
2 Choose Edit > Color Settings. The Color Settings dialog box appears.
3 From the Color Settings drop-down menu, choose North America Prepress 2. This provides you with a
color profile based upon typical printing environments in North America. Click OK to close the Color
Settings dialog box.
