3. Open the Format/Save as Type menu and choose TIFF.

4. In the lower half of the dialog box, uncheck the Layers option.
Because this file contains layers, this option is probably checked by default. If your
file contained alpha channels, annotations, or spot colors, those check boxes would
also be available. When you uncheck the Layers option, the As a Copy check box is
automatically activated.

Choosing a different format
automatically changes the
file’s extension.

Turning off the Layers option
automatically activates the
As a Copy option.

5. Click Save.
Most file formats include additional options, which you should understand before you
simply click OK.

6. In the TIFF Options dialog box, make sure the (Image Compression) None
radio button is selected.
TIFF files can be compressed (made smaller) using several methods:
• None (as the name implies) applies no compression to the
file. This option is safe if file size is not an issue, but digital file
transmission often requires files to be smaller than a full-page,
multi-layered Photoshop file.
• LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) compression is lossless, which
means all file data is maintained in the compressed file.
• ZIP compression is also lossless, but is not supported by all
desktop publishing software (especially older versions).
• JPEG is a lossy compression scheme, which means some data will be thrown
away to reduce the file size. If you choose JPEG compression, the Quality options
determine how much data can be discarded. Maximum quality means less data
is thrown out and the file is larger. Minimum quality discards the most data and
results in the smaller file size.
