PhotoPlus X2 User Guide - Serif

26 Getting Started
To save your PhotoPlus Picture:
• Click the Save button on the Standard toolbar.
OR
To save under a different path or base name, choose Save As... from the File
menu. The window title bar is updated accordingly.
If the current window is untitled or non-native, the Save As dialog opens
automatically, and prompts for a .SPP file name based on the base name
shown in the title bar.
The procedure for an altered image is slightly more complicated as PhotoPlus will
assist you in deciding if you want to save or lose any added "project information"
added to the original image.
To save your currently open image:
• If you've altered the background layer only and no layers, masks, or paths have
been added, you can save (without prompt) the altered image to its current
base name (shown in the window title bar) by choosing Save... from the File
menu. Changes are included in the image.
OR
• If you've added layers, masks, or paths to your image, when you click Save...
(File menu) you'll be asked if you want to preserve the 'project' information.
• In the Save As... dialog click Yes to save your project information (as an
.SPP file).
OR
click No to save as a flattened image (i.e., without layers).
Closing files and exiting
To close a single image window (file):
• Choose Close from the File menu.
OR
• Click the Close button on the window's title bar.
You'll be prompted to save changes made since the last save.
