Photoshop Files and Formats
People often ask me: What image file formats will Photoshop open or save in? What are the advantages/disadvantages? Photoshop has the capability to open and save many different graphic files. Here are some of the most popular ones. Note: When you open an image file other than a Photoshop one, that image will default to the background layer. .psd, .pdd, .eps .jpg, .jpeg .jpe tif, .tiff .gif .png .bmp .wmf .pcx .psp .pcd .pdf So what's the best format for web graphics: gif or jpeg? The general rule of thumb is to use gifs for diagrams, line drawings, illustrations, and images that contain large areas of flat colour, and jpegs for photographs and images with continuous colour tones. The jpeg format has a very good compression rate, but compression reduces the quality of the image, so it's best to experiment with the tools in Image Ready until you have the optimal quality/file size. The gif format, on the other hand, has a smaller file size - but a limited range of colours.
