94 Project 1: Composite Movie AdSTAGE 4 / Saving Files for Multiple MediaAt the beginning of the project, you saved this file in Photoshop%u2019s native format (PSD). However, many Photoshop projects require saving the completed file in at least one other format. Many artists prefer to leave all files in the PSD format because then, there is only one file to track. Others prefer to send only flattened TIFF files of their artwork because the individual elements can%u2019t be changed. Ultimately, the format (or formats, if the file is being used in multiple places) you use will depend on where and how the file is being placed. For this project, you have been asked to create a flattened, high-resolution TIFF file and a low-resolution JPEG file for use on a website.Save a Flat TIFF FileThe printed magazine suggests that ads created in Photoshop be submitted as flat TIFF files. Since you designed the ad to incorporate bleeds for pages up to 8.5%u02dd %u00d7%u00a011%u02dd, all you have to do for this version is save the file in the appropriate format.1. With aftermath.psd open, choose File>Save a Copy. The poster artwork is complete in the native Photoshop file. In the next few exercises, you are going to make changes that you don%u2019t want to become a permanent part of the file. Saving it now, if you haven%u2019t already, means the finished artwork file won%u2019t be compromised in the following exercises.2. Click the Save on Your Computer button if necessary. From this point on throughout this book, you should assume you are saving the files to a local drive. We will not continue to repeat the instruction to click the Save on Your Computer button.3. If necessary, navigate to your WIP>Movie folder as the target location.The Save a Copy dialog box defaults to the last-used location. If you worked the entire way through this project without stopping, you won%u2019t have to navigate.4. Open the Format/Save As Type menu and choose TIFF.5. In the bottom half of the dialog box, uncheck the Layers option.Because this file contains layers, the Layers option was checked by default. If your file contained alpha channels, annotations, or spot colors, those check boxes would also be available. Choosing a different format automatically changes the file%u2019s extension.Uncheck this option.
