PhotoKit Color 2.0: Saving Images Once you learn how to use PhotoKit Color 2.0, saving your images will be a very important consideration. If you open up an image from a basic, compact digital camera, the odds are that the file format is JPEG, which is a common file format for digital cameras. JPEGs are useful for situations where an image's file size is important such as when being written to a compact flash card or put up on a web site. However, JPEGs are not an ideal file format for digital imaging. The way that JPEGs are created is to compress the color information while trying to preserve the luminance information. This compression process is called "lossy" because some information in an image is 'lost'. While the initial compression you get from a digital camera is not severe, opening a JPEG in Adobe Photoshop and re-saving as a JPEG will add to the loss of image integrity. Repeated opening, modification and resaving should therefore be avoided.
Saving a layered image When you run a PhotoKit Color 2.0 effect on an image, the result is a layer sitting on top of the original image. This is extremely useful for the purpose of image corrections and manipulations. However, adding layers not only adds to the size of the saved file, it also limits your choice of file formats when saving. If you go to save an image that has a PhotoKit Color layer on it, you will not be able to save as a JPEG because JPEGs cannot have layers. So, you have several options, either flatten the image and allow Photoshop to re-compress the image as a JPEG or save the image using a different file format.
