12. Choose File>Save As. If necessary, navigate to your WIP>Movie folder as
the target location. Change the file name (in the Save As/File Name field)
to aftermath.
Since this is a basic image file with only one layer (so far), most of the other options in
the Save As dialog box are grayed out (not available).

13. Choose Photoshop in the Format/Save As Type menu and then click Save.
You can save a Photoshop file in a number of different formats, all of which have specific
capabilities, limitations, and purposes. While you are still working on a file, it’s best
to keep it as a native Photoshop (PSD) file. When you choose a different format, the
correct extension is automatically added to the file name.
Note:
Also called “native”, the
PSD format is the most

The final step in preparing the workspace is defining the live area of the page. Trim
size is the actual size of a page once it has been cut out of the press sheet. According to
your client, the magazine has a trim size of 8.53 1 113.
Any elements that print right to the edge of a page (called bleeding) must actually
extend beyond the defined trim size. The bleed allowance is the amount of extra space
that should be included for these bleed objects; most applications require at least 1/83
bleed allowance on any bleed edge.
Because of inherent variation in the mechanical printing and trimming processes,
most magazines also define a safe or live area; all important design elements (especially
text) should stay within this live area. The live area for this project is 83 1 10.53.
