How do you save a photo from Photoshop again.
There's lots of different ways but we're going to show you first how to save it from Camera Raw.
So once you've made all of your edits in Camera Raw you can save right from within by clicking the Save
image button.
This brings up all of your settings.
So starting from the top you have different presets.
If you've saved them in the past I don't have any presets right now.
Destination is where you are going to save it.
So you can save it in the same location as the foot.
The photo that you're working on or you can choose a new one and you just clicks select folder and then
you can choose opt out of Photoshop or create a new folder.
Edit And I'll save it in their then you have your naming options.
So right now it's just going to save it as the document name.
And it's going to save it as a jpeg.
You can also just type in a word.
So say we have photo shop practice then it's just going to save it as Photoshop practice.
Then you can add sort of these other drop downs for a series of things.
So for example if we want to have a series of one digit numbers then it's going to save it as Photoshop
practice one if you want to start it as a different number than you would just change the beginning
number to something like 10 this way if you're saving multiple images it will save it as a series.
Photoshop practice one Photoshop practice two et cetera you could add multiple things so we can do have
a number.
And then the date for example.
So we'll do the date in numeric format.
OK.
So let's just delete those we're just gonna say Photoshop practice and that's it.
File Extension is going to follow the format so you could choose the different format from a photoshop
file to a TIFF file JPEG digital negative.
We're going to be saving as J peg because that's the high quality compressed format that's great for
sharing online or even printing below format.
You can choose to include data the metadata or not or specific metadata.
So if you only want copy right if you want the contact information the raw information.
And this is going to depend on what metadata is on the photo itself how your camera is setup.
Most cameras will save a lot of that information like the ISO the f stop the lens used some cameras
even save the location if you have G.P.S. on your on your camera.
If you want to remove specifically that location info you can check this box next you have quality right
now I have it checked to limit file size but you probably will see just this and you have this dropdown
low medium high or maximum.
So if you type in 12 it's going to be the max quality possible if you want to save file space and decrease
the space of the actual file itself then you can choose one of these other options.
Medium high for most online applications high is going to look perfectly fine for printing out.
I would go Max and go with 12 if you are posting online and or if there's some specific reason you want
to limit the file size to a specific killer byte you would check this box and then type in amount.
So say you need it to be under one megabyte which is 1000 killer bytes then you would put 1000 because
for some cases some places you upload they might have a limit or if you're posting on your own portfolio
or Web site and you want to limit the amount of space it takes up so that your website loads faster.
You might want to make it under 500 kilobytes.
So you want to sort of balance the size of the file if you're posting online.
But for most cases if you're just saving for sort of your archive or printing out just leave that off
and choose maximum for color space you're going to leave it as RG b there's all kinds of other color
spaces.
But for ninety nine point nine percent of everything you're going to need to do.
Just choose.
RG B unless you know that you need to use something else depending on a specific printer you're using
or something like that.
But that will come up if someone tells you you need another color space for us.
Just use RG B next to you have image sizing.
So this is not the file size but the image size itself.
So if you have this unchecked which will probably be what you have it's just going to save it as the
default image the same size as your image that you shot or that you cropped it to the resolution down
here is the quality of that size or the quality of the print.
If you're publishing too like Instagram or social media you probably don't need to adjust these things
because those sites are going to sort of resize your photos anyways.
If you do need to adjust the size of the image for example if you are posting to your Web site and you
know it needs to be 500 pixels wide then you would choose resize to fit the one that I like using.
Is this long side.
So if you do that and you set your long side to five hundred pixels then it will automatically adjust
the other side whether it's the height or the width to fit that with the same aspect ratio.
So what it's saying right now is that the long side is the height of this image that were practicing
with and that's going to be five hundred pixels to keep the same aspect ratio.
The width will be 400 pixels.
If I change the height to 1000 then that means the width is going to be eight hundred.
OK.
Next we have resolution.
Keep it at 150.
You can go down to 72 which will actually save a little bit of space because the file size will be smaller
or you could go up to 300 if you want sort of a higher resolution.
This is great for printing but for really any online use or even printing 150 is kind of standard.
Lastly you have what's called output sharpening.
I don't add this because all typically add some sharpening while I'm editing.
But if you are printing out they have these glossy paper and matte paper presets which add a little
bit of sharpening because when you print photos sometimes they can lose a little bit of that sharpness
so they add a bit of sharpness to combat that they have a low standard and high amount.
This you probably won't be able to tell especially if you're just printing out at your local printer
or Costco or something like that.
You really won't see this if you're doing a super duper high quality print but usually like I said I
leave that off and they do have an option for screen.
That's like if you're posting online but again I just choose to leave that off.
Then you click save and it's going to save it.
Let's go to the finer we have our edits folder now and now we have this photo which we can see is 800
by 1000 pixels the size is three ninety two kilobytes.
And if we open this up just in the spacebar we have this image that we can now share for our next Halloween
party.
So that's how you save photos from camera raw.
If you have any questions let us know in the next lessons we're going to be diving into more of the
advanced options within camera bra.
And then later on we're going to be looking at other ways you can edit photos in Photoshop back in sort
of our main Photoshop window which you might be working with especially if you're adding things like
text and graphics and we'll also show you how to do things in Photoshop specific to editing like removing
blemishes removing backgrounds and cool stuff like that which is all coming up.
It's a huge program and like I said before we have a full class on it.
If you want to learn the ins and outs and you're a complete beginner but we also want to include as
much as possible specific to photographers in this one and I hope you're enjoying it.
