Finish That File!
SAVING OUT PROJECTS
Well, almost! Make sure to hit
save on that file...but wait.
How should you save out your
file? Listen, we’ve all been there.
We’ve all forgotten they stand
for. It’s okay. We have this list
now. Take a deep breath,
we’re almost there.
AI, PS, INDD
The main characters, these file
types are the default file types
for each program.
AI stands for Adobe Illustrator,
PS is Adobe Photoshop, and
INDD is Adobe InDesign.
JPG
The same as JPEG, it stands
for Join Photographic Experts
Group and is the most widely
accepted image format. It is
such a widely used file type
because the file size is usually
small enough to store and
share easily. On the flip side
this compression reduces the
quality of the image, so be
careful if you lower the file
size too much!
PNG
One of my top favorite
file types, PNG files have
lossless image compression.
PNG stands for Portable
Network Graphics, and PNG
files can have transparent
backgrounds. PNG is best
for detailed, high-contrast
images, especially those
that need transparency.
Use a PNG when exporting
something with a transparent
background into another file!
