Saving Images

After work on your photo is complete, you may want to save it. In Photo Express,
you can save a photo in a variety of different image file formats. Each file format

has its own unique properties and characteristics. Some formats, however, are

better than others for specific situations, such as saving for the Web are.

To save a photo:

1.

Click the Share button on the Command

panel. The Toolbar displays the different Share
tools.

2.

Click the Save button on the Toolbar. The

Save options appear in the Options panel.

3.

Enter the location, name, file type, and

data type.

4.

Select an album from the Save to album

drop-down menu.

5.

Click Save.

"

Data type describes how much colour information the image is

saved with. The more colour information included in the file, the
larger the file tends to be. The highest colour data type is True Colour

and files saved with this data type can be very large. Indexed-256

and Greyscale each contain up to a maximum of 256 distinct Colours

and generally are quite small.

"

Some file types that you can use are: BMP for saving your photos

at the highest level of quality with no compression; JPEG for photos

you want to use on the web or send via e-mail - it compresses photos
with a small reduction in overall quality; UPX for saving photos with

unmerged, free-floating objects. These objects can be used again

when the file is re-opened.
