Saving a copy of the original<br />

At this point when saving, you can choose <strong>to</strong> manually remove the word "copy" and<br />

therefore over-write your original file. However, this will flatten the file and eliminate any<br />

layers. If you are absolutely sure you do not wish <strong>to</strong> do any additional work on the image,<br />

you may wish <strong>to</strong> do this. This will re-compress the image as a JPEG and replace<br />

your original image with your new version of the image. We recommend, however, that<br />

you give serious consideration <strong>to</strong> this decision. If there is any chance you may wish <strong>to</strong><br />

do additional work on the image or that you may need <strong>to</strong> go back <strong>to</strong> the original image<br />

for any reason, we suggest you either leave the word "copy" in the file name or use another<br />

name addendum such as "ADJ" <strong>to</strong> preserve your original.<br />

Preserve all Pho<strong>to</strong>Kit layers using the PSD format<br />

As an alternative, you may decide <strong>to</strong> keep your image with all the Pho<strong>to</strong>Kit <strong>Color</strong> layers<br />

intact. This will allow you <strong>to</strong> come back <strong>to</strong> the image and make additional changes<br />

without having <strong>to</strong> worry about problems you may have with JPEG artifacts from repeated<br />

saves while preserving your layers for later editing.<br />

Pho<strong>to</strong>shop’s native file format is .PSD (Pho<strong>to</strong>shop). With a PSD file, anything you create<br />

in a Pho<strong>to</strong>shop file can be saved including image layers, adjustment layers and type<br />

layers. The PSD file format includes a level of compression using a completely lossless<br />

scheme so you can be assured that you'll never suffer recompression artifacts.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
