Optimal working file type: PSD vs JPG

Hello.

I have a little. Photos JPG of a 72 dpi digi cam and 3264 x 2448 px.

I'll be cutting the size of these photos for the web at 1400 x 700 (via culture) and will make a few adjustments to over/under exposure, filtering for effect, possibly add layers of text etc.

When you use cost-of-the-camera jpg, I always wondered if it is better to convert a JPG of origin to PSD before all the manipulations above before you save it as a JPG for the web. Or is it better to simply fill in all operations for the original JPG and ONCE it is save as jpg for the web?

ALL the arguments for and against were greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

In this case, it wouldn't matter. However, if you saved as a jpg file and worked on it for a few weeks, a few hours each day. In the meantime, he can make a difference according to the picture.

Several times to save a jpg file throws the color data to compress the file.

TIFF and psd however are lossless formats. No data is discarded.

Also keep in mind of the JPEGs do not support layers, the living text, styles, transparency, etc.

So my advice under the generic name as it is, is to use psd or tiff for archiving and jpg for sharing.

As for any rule, the rules can be broken. What works for you is so fine as long as you're aware of what's going on.

  • PS CS4, refuses to save a file type to another file type .jpg .psd. How to solve? Desperate!

    I open a .psd file, make changes to eliminate the layers and to reduce the size of the file to save it then as a smaller .jpg file.  However, when the drop-down window opens to select what file extension I would choose, it flashes immediately closed with times to select .jpg or other.  No matter how many times I try to 'beat' the window and make a selection, it is faster than me and it closes.  He refuses to allow me to change the file type extension.  This problem seems to be developed after downloading the recent updates on the program.  He won't let me do my job.  I need quick help.  Can anyone help?  I already tried to remove the program from my system and reloading it, but the problem is not going away.

    Another minor problem happened at the same time.  No matter what file or group of files now fill the screen and are docked together.  I have to go into the menu every time and select 'Float all windows', and if any other file is opened during the same working session, all previous files will become again the images full screen and anchor set even once, will have to go into the menu and select 'float all windows' once AGAIN.  It's a real pain.  I tried to look in the preferences and has not found a solution to the problem.  Someone at - it suggestions?  This problem is thought minor, compared to the first listed that paralyzed forward me in my work.

  • Can I change the default file type to save as? For example, JPG instead of the default DSP.

    Greetings,

    I would really like to know if I can get Photohop to use another type of file by default when I save money, instead of PSD.

    I generally save my files in JPEG format, so this would allow me to save a lot of time not having to use the drop down menu from PSD to jpg.

    I looked in preferences and settings, but I couldn't find anything. I tried to look online, but I couldn't find anything related to what I was looking for.

    Thanks for any advice.

    No such thing. PS will respect the existing files file type, but any newly created file or an image file that contains the operations that cannot be stored in an image format "fool" to happen to PSD / PSB or TIFF in layers / extended. Or in other words: PS may not know that you may want to reject the additional data that it can maintain and is perhaps being too much of a protective mother hen...

  • I set firefox to open a file type (.) SGF) w / a program, but it doesn't, so I put it to save/apply and no work option, it always opens file link in a new tab.

    I went into Options and set the. SGF with Smartgo open file. He refuses to do. Clicking on a link to one. SGF file simply open the file as a text in a new tab.

    Given that it did not work, I tried to get firefox to download instead, because then I can open it using the window file type associations. It will not download the file, unless I actually do a right-click and save-as in the link.

    It is tedious when displaying a lot of these files. I even put it to wonder after seeing the download option did not work. He don't ask me. What happens here?

    Also, I use firefox 23

    EDIT: It seems to be the specific Web site. Some sites will allow me the option to open it in Smartgo, others just it open in a tab in the form of text. What is causing this gap and can it be overcome thanks to the browser settings?

    A sample Web site to highlight the issue is:
    http://igokisen.Web.FC2.com/WR/LG.html
    clicking on one of these links will not download, open, or ask questions about what you want to do with the file.

    What happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
    You can see if you open "tools > Page Info > general": Content-Type: text/plain

    Sent files that this way is always open in a tab.

  • The Associations of all feature works not just for some file types

    I'm having some problems with the functionality of all Associations, located in the section default programs in Control Panel.  There are a number of types/protocols files that are set up to be opened with the wrong default programs.  When I go to change the program, the browse option doesn't let me choose the program I want.  One of the files I'm having this problem with is the .docx file.  I want to put in place to make the default Microsoft Word program, but he keeps recommending Microsoft Word Viewer and will not let me choose Microsoft Word on my computer.  I know this isn't a major problem and that the files can be opened by Word by using other methods.  It's just annoying, and it bothers me when something does not work on my computer.  A lot of files/protocols are also unknown application listed under the column of default program.  I know that is not normal.  Any of you know what is the cause?

  • Lightroom does not recognize any of my file types [DNG / JPEG etc] and is unable to import? any ideas for a fix?

    Lightroom does not recognize any of my file types [DNG / JPEG etc] and is unable to import? any ideas for a fix?

    It's impossible. LR is a non-destructive editor and photo management. For her to not see images of the files would make it one of the worst of these programs tyupes.

    So there is a parameter that you have screwed up in the import dialog window that prevents your DNG, TIFF, JPG, PSD, PNG, CMYK and film formats appear in the import window.

    So show us a screenshot of your import window.

    More than likely you have chosen a destination that has all the permissions read/write to your username.

  • How to save a psd to jpg, gif or png?

    I made a banner for my Etsy Shop in Photoshop CC with clip art, texts and digital documents. When I tried to download on Etsy, he said that the psd files are not supported, so I need to save it in jpg, gif or png. How can I do this? Thank you!

    File > save as... Choose one or all three types of files

    or

    File > export > save for Web and select the file Type, as well as metadata (file information) you want to include.

    In both cases, you keep the original layered PSD if you need to make future changes. Never flatten them.

  • First file type of the elements for organizing items

    I use the editor and organizer of PSE13 (for photos and films). I recently bought the first elements 13 and just edited my first film.

    I would like to only first Elements of access via the Photoshop Elements Organizer, but I'm not sure what file type to save my first editing of files, so that they can be imported and marked in the elements Organizer and also played through the elements Organizer.

    I want to just run an organizer. Is this possible and what should I save my first finals as after having been edited files. (in the same way that I save a PSD file JPG once editing is finished in the element Editor.)

    Thank you

    Your choice of export in order to comply with the support of the elements Organizer seems to limit for me. But...

    If I have a 1080 p 30 timeline in first 13 elements project editor and export it

    Publish + share

    Computer

    AVCHD

    with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080 p 30

    This file is saved on the hard disk of the computer can be taken in organizing elements 13

    a. to view a thumbnail with a frame of the video

    and

    b. can be read in the drive of organizing items 13.

    I didn't by all export choices to unravel the formats will do the same. But this particular result of AVCHD.mp4 (1920 x 1080 p 30) is

    as described.

    What is your choice of export now and is importation of final product in organizing elements 13 showing here and reading here?

  • Open the file in .psd PhotoShop CS6 currpt/no:(mon travail beaucoup)

    Hi friends,

    Today accidentally my photoshop has closed at this moment there, I work on my model of the last 2 months demo work, so once again, I open my file .psd is the guest of the error "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop".

    Several times, I'm trying, but it can not open my .psd file. If someone in the face of this type of problem or have any solution for this problem I'll be very grateful to you, of course its my two months of hard work.

    Thank you

    Here is something that is works in many cases. You will use fires of artifice to open and re - save the Photoshop file. This will fix the majority of corruptions.

    Open the corrupted Photoshop file in Fireworks.

    Fireworks lets save the .psd Photoshop format. (Important: do not save a Fireworks file or another extension, because Photoshop may not recognize the layers, or you could lose data.)

    Don't forget to give your file a different name when recording, so you will not overwrite the original. (A good idea would be to create a backup of your original before trying this procedure).

    Open your newly created file in Photoshop.

    Do not forget that many effects will not show in Fireworks, but should appear in Photoshop layers.

    If that does not work, try to look at the answer here: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/photoshop/590-restoring-a-corrupted-ps "d-file"
