Format Options Specifies the format of your JPEG file. Baseline ("Standard") uses a format recognized by most web browsers. Baseline
Optimized creates a file with optimized color and a slightly smaller file size. Progressive displays a series of increasingly detailed versions of
the image (you specify how many) as it downloads. (Not all web browsers support optimized and Progressive JPEG images.)
Note: Some applications may not be able to read a CMYK file saved in JPEG format. Likewise, if you find that a Java application can't read
a JPEG file, try saving the file without a thumbnail preview.
Save in PNG format
You can use the Save As command to save RGB, Indexed Color, Grayscale, and Bitmap mode images in PNG format.
Note: You can also save an image as one or more PNG files using the Save For Web & Devices command.
1. Choose File > Save As, and choose PNG from the Format menu.
2. Select an Interlace option:
None Displays the image in a browser only when download is complete.
Interlaced Displays low-resolution versions of the image in a browser as the file downloads. Interlacing makes download time seem shorter,
but it also increases file size.
3. Click OK.
Save in GIF format
You can use the Save As command to save RGB, Indexed Color, Grayscale, or Bitmap mode images directly in CompuServe GIF (known as GIF)
format. The image is automatically converted to Indexed Color mode.
Note: GIF is only available when the image is 8 Bits/Channel (it only supports 8 Bit/Channel).
1. Choose File > Save As, and choose CompuServe GIF from the Format menu.
2. For RGB images, the Indexed Color dialog box appears. Specify conversion options and click OK.
3. Select a row order for the GIF file, and click OK:
Normal Displays the image in a browser only when download is complete.
Interlaced Displays low-resolution versions of the image in a browser as the file downloads. Interlacing makes download time seem shorter,
but it also increases file size.
Note: You can also save an image as one or more GIF files using the Save For Web & Devices command.
Save in Photoshop EPS format
Virtually all page-layout, word-processing, and graphics applications accept imported or placed EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files. To print EPS
files, you should use a PostScript printer. Non-PostScript printers will print only the screen-resolution preview.
1. Choose File > Save As, and choose Photoshop EPS from the Format menu.
2. In the EPS Options dialog box, select the options you want, and click OK:
Preview Creates a low-resolution image to view in the destination application. Choose TIFF to share an EPS file between Windows and
Mac OS systems. An 8-bit preview is in color and a 1-bit preview is in black and white with a jagged appearance. An 8-bit preview creates a
larger file size than a 1-bit preview. See also Bit depth.
Encoding Determines the way image data is delivered to a PostScript output device. Encoding options are described below.
Include Halftone Screen and Include Transfer Function Control print specifications for high-end commercial print jobs. Consult your
printer before selecting these options.
Transparent Whites Displays white areas as transparent. This option is available only for images in Bitmap mode.
PostScript Color Management Converts file data to the printer's color space. Do not select this option if you plan to place the image in
another color-managed document.
Note: Only PostScript Level 3 printers support PostScript Color Managementfor CMYK images. To print a CMYK image using PostScript
Color Managementon a Level 2 printer, convert the image to Lab mode before saving in EPS format.
Include Vector Data Preserves any vector graphics (such as shapes and type) in the file. However, vector data in EPS and DCS files is
available only to other applications; vector data is rasterized if you reopen the file in Photoshop. This option is only available if your file
contains vector data.
Image Interpolation Applies bicubic interpolation to smooth the low-resolution preview if printed.
Photoshop EPS encoding options
ASCII or ASCII85 Encodes if you're printing from a Windows system, or if you're experience printing errors or other difficulties.
Binary Produces a smaller file and leaves the original data intact. However, some page-layout applications and some commercial print spooling
and network printing software may not support binary Photoshop EPS files.
