6 If you are saving to EPS format, select
PostScript Color Management to instruct a
PostScript printer to convert the file data to the
printer's color space. Do not select PostScript
Color Management if you're planning to place the
image into another color-managed document.
Doing so may disrupt color management in your
page-layout application.
Select Image Interpolation if you want
7
to anti-alias the printed appearance of a
low-resolution image.
Click OK.

Photoshop PDF format
Portable Document Format (PDF and PDP) is a
flexible, cross-platform, cross-application file
format. PDF files accurately display and preserve
fonts, page layouts, and both vector and bitmap
graphics.
Note: PDF and PDP are the same except that PDPs
are opened in Photoshop and PDFs are opened
in Acrobat.
To save a file in Photoshop PDF format:
1 Choose File > Save As, and choose Photoshop
PDF from the format list.
2 Specify a filename and location, select saving
options (as described in "Saving images" on
page 246), and click Save.
3 Select an encoding method. (See "About file
formats" on page 245.)
Note: Bitmap-mode images are automatically
encoded using CCITT compression—the PDF
Options dialog box does not appear.

4 Select Save Transparency if you want to preserve
transparency when the file is opened in another
application that supports PDF transparency.
When reopening the file in Photoshop Elements,
transparency is always preserved, regardless of
whether you select or deselect this option.
Select Image Interpolation if you want
5
to anti-alias the printed appearance of a
low-resolution image.
Click OK.

PICT File format
PICT File format is widely used among Mac OS
graphics and page-layout applications as an inter-
mediary file format for transferring images
between applications. PICT File format is
especially effective at compressing images with
large areas of solid color.
When saving an RGB image in PICT File format,
you can choose either a 16-bit or 32-bit pixel
resolution. For a grayscale image, you can choose
from 2, 4, or 8 bits per pixel. In Mac OS with
QuickTime installed, four JPEG compression
options are available.
PIXAR format
PIXAR format is designed specifically for
exchanging files with PIXAR image computers.
PIXAR workstations are designed for high-end
graphics applications, such as those used for three-
dimensional images and animation. PIXAR
format supports RGB and grayscale images.
