Opening & Saving images in Photoshop - The Steps
- Firstly open Photoshop, then go into -> File -> Open, then locate the file you want to open, left click on it, then click Open.
- Now once you’ve done what you want to do with your image in Photoshop, to save it, go into -> File -> Save As… A box will come up and in the save as box, type in what you want to call the file. Before we save it we need to choose a format for it, select the drop down menu at the bottom of the box, when you click it a bunch of names will come up, I recommend saving it as a .jpg/jpeg.
- Sometimes the quality on certain images can come out dodgy with them, if you end up saving it as a .jpg/jpeg and the quality is low, then you’ll need to go back into photoshop, open up the image and resave it as a .PNG. The reason I recommended saving it as a .jpg/jpeg in the first place is because they’re much smaller files than .PNGs.
- Continuing on with the saving process, now that you’ve given the file a name and you’ve also chosen the format of it, you need to choose where you’re going to save the file, you can either save it on your desktop or just save it in one of your folders. Once that’s done, click save.
