not knowing how to properly save is like

building castles on the beach with sand

and not even having a camera or a phone

to take a picture of it but then it's

just so confusing right if you go to

file they're safe they're save as save a

copy export export as there's just so

many things and even if you choose to

decide one of these like save a copy

again there are just so darn many

options this is super confusing I wish

there was an easy system or a way to

figure out what to use when you're in

luck because there is just take a

screenshot right now save it properly

did that look super confusing don't

worry we're gonna get through it

together it will be fun but before

everything else how many times have you

felt that sudden cold chill run through

your spine especially when you see this

little friend in the middle of your

project

I know the feeling and that is why you

need insurance and here's how to set up

your insurance in Photoshop just go to

edit and then preferences and inside of

that you would go to file handling on a

Mac it is under Photoshop preferences

file handling let's go in there and just

make sure you turn on automatically save

recovery information every you can

choose however many minutes you want so

I keep it checked you can set it at five

minutes so that at every five minutes it

will save the recovery information so if

your computer crashes and then when you

open up Photoshop again it should be

recovered do notice that I'm stressing

the word should you'll know why just hit

OK and for security just restart

Photoshop now there are times when this

insurance company decides not to pay and

for those times precaution is always

better than cure I think it's called

prevention either way I would never

suggest that you develop an OCD but when

it comes to working with Photoshop there

is a habit that you need to develop just

like an OCD every couple minutes keep

pressing this shortcut Ctrl or command S

as you're working through this let's say

you changed the text size did a few

changes controller command s you moved

the subject here and there

controller command s don't forget that

another thing you need to watch out for

is the star because when you wish upon a

star I don't know what happens but at

least if you don't watch out for it it's

going to be terrible in Photoshop when

you do any change anything on any

document let's say I created a new layer

I then deleted it I turned off the

subject all right I did a few things

right now you will see a star right here

which means that it has unsaved changes

all of the changes that I just made is

not saved yet if I press Ctrl or command

s watch the star goes away now if I do

any more change right here if I turn on

the subject if I move it around see the

star comes back in which means that

whatever changes I did is unsaved if I

press Ctrl or command s the star is gone

which means that everything that is here

right now is absolutely saved so this is

one star you don't want to see or wish

upon especially when Photoshop crashes

but you need to watch out for it and

keep pressing Ctrl or command s now

saving is a process trust me it's an

easy one all you need to do is to ask

yourself what is your purpose now the

first purpose can be you just want to

update the existing working document

what do we mean by that let us take a

look at this example let's say this is

the PSD that you're working in by the

way if you want to learn how to match

the subject with the background you can

watch this video later but for right now

let us say we create a color lookup

right here we made a few changes we add

crisp warm and now I just want to update

the existing PST so this PST right here

example to brief demo you'll see we have

it right here so right now if you go to

file and save the shortcut to which is

control or command s the shortcut is

always right next to the menu let's

click on it that star goes away and that

particular document gets updated so

right now if I close it and go back to

that folder and open the same document

example to brief demo it will come up

with those changes because we updated

the document so whenever you want to

update your existing document that

you're working on you would choose save

but what happens when you have a

document that is not already created in

your drive what if it's a new document

what happens then so let us go ahead and

create a new document by going to file

new create a random document do some

random stuff right here so now what

happens if I choose save because there

is no document to update right it is not

yet created if right now we go to file

and save watch this we're going to

choose on my computer of course it

automatically takes you to save as now

that's an interesting thing and that

brings us to our next option and that is

save as we choose save as when we want

to create a new working document what do

we mean by that so in this case this was

a brand new document right so if we

saved there was nothing to update so it

automatically took you to save as so you

can create a new working document on the

other hand this PSD is already created

if I turn it off if I press Ctrl or

command s or if I go to file and then

save it will just update the existing

document but let's say I want to create

a different version of it and continue

working on that version in that case

let's say I added this one I added

another one of these reduce the opacity

of it a little bit and then I can go to

file save as this allows me to create a

new separate document and continue

working on it so let's name it example

two new and save it as a PSD now keep in

mind save as only allows you to save it

in a working format meaning that it

should support layers adjustments you

should have the ability to come back and

change things here and there and that is

why if you look at save as type you only

have few options that do support layers

and adjustments and other Photoshop

features so right now let us choose PSD

and click on save you will notice at the

top hit OK you'll notice that the not

that you continue to work on this new

version while the older version still

exists so if I go back to my folder have

a look the older version is still there

example two brief demo but the newer

version is still also there so if I open

up the older version

it's a different document so this is the

older version let's close this and this

one is the newer version so whenever you

want to create a newer version of your

existing document and continue working

on that newer version you would choose

save as save as doesn't care who it was

where it was from or what it did like

the Backstreet Boys it's like a start of

a new relationship however there's

another option and that is save a copy

save a copy is like you want to continue

your existing relationship but just to

be sure you also want to have a backup

somewhere I don't recommend this in real

life but let's consider this this is

version a you want to continue working

with version a but you also want to have

a backup so let's go to file save a copy

and let's type in version b instead

let's save it now unlike save as you

still continue working with version a

you add a color lookup you add another

color lookup you decrease the opacity

and do several things but still you have

that version b b stands for backup

already there in case you need it so

save a copy is just like creating a

backup for you on the site or an export

for you on the site while you continue

with your existing relationship whereas

save as is a start of a new relationship

when you choose save as you create a new

version and you continue working on that

new version with the old version it

doesn't care where it is where it's from

what it did like the Backstreet Boys now

do keep in mind that save a copy since

it's just creating a backup can save in

any format whereas save as can only save

in a working format like PSD Tiff and

others we're going to discuss it later

but right now if you go to file save a

copy you'll see there is just everything

you can save it as a JPEG you can save

it as a PSD all the options are right

here now if you want to export your work

for social media with layers and effects

everything baked into one image you

won't have the ability in this file to

go back and change the layers but if you

want that final file you would go to

file export and Export as let's say for

social media you can also change the

width and the height resize it

accordingly and choose whether you want

PNG jpeg or GIF or GIF however you want

to pronounce it you have several options

here we're going to discuss it in brief

later but for right now you can simply

choose jpeg choose the quality right

here and click on export simply choose

the file name it's already JPEG and

click on Save that's all now just to

summarize all of these four options it's

simple you need to ask yourself what is

your purpose if you just want to update

the existing document that you're

working on go to save if the document is

new and there's not a file that is

already created if you click on file

save it will automatically take you to

save as now save as it's like a start of

a new relationship it creates a brand

new document and you continue working on

that brand new document and it only

supports working formats that do support

layers and effects and other features of

Photoshop export as is when you want to

export an image file with everything

baked in let's say for social media or

for your website whatever it is and then

you have save a copy which creates a

backup for you while you continue

working with your existing version now

save a copy does give you access to all

of the formats whether it's jpeg PNG on

the other hand save as only allows

formats which can support layers and

Photoshop features now let's take a look

at the different formats and which one

to use when again you need to ask

yourself different questions and this

chart makes it absolutely easy for you

now PSD is the standard Photoshop

document format it can easily be opened

in Photoshop of course because it is the

Photoshop format and it retains

everything when you're working with PSD

you don't have to worry about the new

filters or the features that are added

or if you add something that is brand

new everything will show up everything

is changed tangible manageable so this

my friend is a PSD I saved it as a PSD

and if you open it all of the effects

that I applied right here everything

shows up I can change anything open up

the adjustment layers and change the

properties I can change the opacities

everything shows up just as the way you

saved it now PSD does have a limitation

biggest limitation is the size limit so

right now this PSD example three is just

about 230 MB so just for demonstration I

made a hundred copies of this lab so

this was the last cleanup layer so as

you can see I've made 10 copies in each

group and there are 10 groups so about a

hundred layers this should make the file

size bigger so now when I try to go to

file save it is in PSD if I go to file

and save it will keep it in PSD and just

update the document it shouldn't be an

issue right but if I try to do that it

tells you right here the document

exceeds 2GB so when you're working with

a lot of flares and also images with

high resolution like 50 megapixels just

by creating 20 layers you're gonna have

this issue right here so what is the

solution the solution is our next format

which is PSB it literally means

Photoshop big and it also asks you

whether you want to save it in PSB so

let's hit OK let's type in new and click

on Save now take a look at the PSP file

it is about 3.32 GB so it did exceed 2GB

so PSD file which is the standard

Photoshop document does have a limit of

2GB whereas PSB file doesn't have any

such limits in fact I don't even know

what the upper limit is some people say

that PSB files can be easily as big as

4.2 billion GB so it seems it wouldn't

be outdated very soon now the downside

for PSP is it may be a little slower but

then again it's not because it's a bad

format it's because it's a very large

file at the same time this is a real

downside and that is it may not be as

compatible as PSD of course Photoshop

will be able to open it but there are

several other applications which which

does support PSD but does not support

PSB again with time this will change of

course more and more applications will

continue to support PSP but for now that

is the only downside for PSP I only

personally work with PSB when I know my

file size is going to be larger than 2GB

but if you're unsure you can continue

using PSD and when it exceeds 2GB

Photoshop will tell you and then you can

save it as a PSB now there is Tiff now

PSD and PSP are Adobe formats on the

other hand diff is a worldwide Universal

format now the specialty of diff is that

you don't need Photoshop to open it it's

a universal format and it does support

majority of Photoshop features if not

all I haven't come across something that

it doesn't support maybe little things

here and there but for the most part I

haven't come across an issue so let's go

to file save as and this time let us

choose Tiff and let's name it example

three

Tiff

and let's save it you can keep these

settings the way it is and hit OK it

gives you a warning because you're

including the list that's fine I want to

include it and now have a look you're

working with diff let's close it and

open it again so this is example three

Tiff I can directly open it in my

windows photo viewer and it opens just

like that no issue I can right click on

it choose open with and even open with

Microsoft Paint and it opens right there

no issue and here's the best part if I

open this up in Photoshop let's drag it

and drop it into Photoshop right here

have a look all of the layers are intact

even if you use one of those newer

features let's go to filter neural

filters it's very new filter right here

and let's turn on landscape mixer let's

make it snowy absolutely snowy let's go

with this as you can see Nero filter is

applied we can double click on it and

change it later because this is a smart

filter let's press Ctrl or command s

keep in mind it's still a tiff and it is

supported so right now if I minimize it

if I open it up in Microsoft Paint

the changes show up right here and then

if I open it up back in Photoshop let's

drag it and drop it into Photoshop

have a look at it that neural filter is

still there so that my friend is the

magic of Tiff it's a universal format it

supports layers it supports Photoshop

features and one thing I didn't write

right here and that is stiff does have a

limit but the limit is larger than PST

and that is 4 GB so PSD has a limit of

2GB PSB doesn't have much of a limit but

Tiff on the other hand also has a limit

and that is 4GB let's talk about two

more common formats with export as and

that is PNG and jpeg so here you have an

adorable panda with a transparent

background reminds me of Kung Fu Panda

your mind is like this water my friend

when it becomes agitated it's difficult

to see but when it settles down the

answer is super clear I may have changed

it a little bit but it's a quote from

that movie Let's Go to file export and

Export as if we choose PNG you will see

that the transparent background is

maintained also you want to make sure

that you want transparency you can

uncheck it and take away the

transparency if you wish so but I want

the transparency and then we can export

it let's name it Panda click on save so

here is our Panda PNG now when you bring

it over any image it does come with a

transparent background however if you

saved it as a JPEG let's go to file

export export as let's choose jpeg this

time no matter what you do jpeg does not

support transparency so if you do want

transparency PNG is your only option if

you don't want transparency then you can

go ahead and choose jpeg if you wish to

but there are other aspects to it as

well so right now if I save it as a jpeg

no matter what I do if you click on

export and again save now when I try to

bring the panda jpeg right here as you

can see it does come with that white

background another thing you need to

consider is the size it is not that PNG

is a bigger size and jpeg is a smaller

size it's a little more trickier than

that so here's an image with flat

graphics and actually it's a very simple

abstract image on the left hand side we

have white and on the right hand side we

have black it's simple two blocks right

here if you go to file export export as

and save it as a JPEG in the highest

quality now keep in mind with PNG there

is no quality slider because it's loss

less compression it doesn't decrease the

quality in any way but jpeg does allow

you to control the quality if you pick

the highest quality the sizes 27.1 KB

right for jpeg now this is a flat

graphic if I choose PNG right here see

the size is lower it's 15.9 and if you

look at the chart jpeg supports maximum

bit depth of 8 whereas PNG supports up

to 24. so if you keep the same in PNG as

JPEG keep in mind jpeg maximum is 8 so

PNG if I set it to 8

the file size would be even lower so

this is 8 with PNG and in jpeg it is 27

however this flips absolutely when

you're not working with flat Graphics

take a look at this photo yes I had my

mom and dad try sushi for the first time

my mom told me I can make it at home

this is not very something complicated

I think that is the dialogue you would

hear in every Indian household but

anyway if you go to file

export export as right here the tables

turn right now if I choose jpeg even at

the highest quality the size is 5.7 MB

however with PNG

if you don't want the transparency of

course we don't want that and even if

you choose to have a smaller file size

see it is bigger and watch this with PNG

if you choose to have a smaller file

size the colors change so if I remove

this check right here have a look the

original colors return so this is most

comparable with jpeg so this was 15 and

that was around five so when it comes to

photographs with lots of gradients

colors details jpeg is preferred

especially when sharing online due to

its smaller size and if you're not

worried about size and you want lossless

compression with the highest possible

quality you can always go for PNG so

just ask yourself these questions and

you should be fine now exportas does

have a lot of other important features

so this is a thumbnail I created for a

previous video you can watch it right

here after this video let's go to file

export and Export as when uploading

YouTube thumbnails the width of the

thumbnail needs to be 1280 pixels so we

can change it right here in export

without changing the original image or

the document so let's type in 1280 it

automatically goes to 1280x720 and you

can choose the format PNG or JPEG and

click on export that's all there is to

it it will be saved in that size you can

also choose to save it in multiple sizes

one for your website one for Facebook

maybe one for YouTube so right now we

have it in One X we can click on plus

and save a half size 0.5 x

we can have 0.75 X 0.25 x 2X you can

change it according to your wish and I'm

going to keep it back to 2x now all of

these sizes can be saved in a folder

just click on export for convenience

let's create a new folder inside of it

let's name it export and let's pick this

folder click on select folder and if you

open up this export folder you'll see

all of it right here so this is 1x 0.5 x

0.25.75 and 2x you can also export

individual multiple layers at once so in

this case we have a lot of layers hot

coffee coffee frame now let's say I want

to save this cake separately and this

jar separately as a separate PNG so

let's open up the hot drinks group right

here we have this teapot right here so

we want this saved and we also want the

cake right so inside of the dessert

there is this cake so let's select both

of those layers so select the cake hold

the controller command select the teapot

right now you can right click on it and

choose export as and you will see both

of them are going to show up right here

let's save it as a pin G you can pick

the size for each one of these so for

the cake for the teapot as well let's

change the format to PNG you can change

the size from here individually and

click on export let's save it in the

same folder click on select folder and

inside of the export folder you'll find

the cake right here and also this teapot

there's also a shortcut for exporting

multiple layers at once and that is once

you have the layers selected for example

the cake and the teapot you can press

Ctrl shift and colon very uncommon

shortcut if you press it this dialog box

will show up let's create a new folder e

new export new let's select that folder

and if we open up this e new folder

you'll have the cake and the teapot

right here as well one other thing to

watch out for when you're exporting for

the web is converting the color profile

properly now this is a very Advanced

topic and you can watch this video to

learn more about it but for right now

keep in mind that if you go to file

export and Export as if things are not

set up right if you're working with a

larger color space if none of this is

making sense just Watch What Happens so

I'm about to export this image as a JPEG

and it looks fine but if you don't

convert the color space to srgb see what

happens

the colors absolutely change and earlier

when I used to export directly sometimes

on Instagram my colors would change and

I would wonder why so always when

exporting for online media web social

media whatever there is you want to make

sure you want to convert to srgb color

space just make sure that it's checked

also make sure you embed the color

profile it should be fine and then when

you export the colors will be right keep

in mind the colors are not going away it

is still there but the viewer online or

any other different app doesn't know

what the color profile is you don't have

to worry about any of that right now

just make sure you check convert to srgb

and if you want to learn you can watch

this video anyway last but not the least

if you're working on an important

project you can also choose to save it

in Cloud as a psdc format psdc simply

means Photoshop document Cloud so you

can go to file you can go to save as

that's fine or the first time you save

it it will also show up the option to

save it as a cloud document and you can

simply click save to cloud documents and

name it whatever you want click on Save

now it will be uploaded to the cloud but

keep in mind it will take up space on

the cloud that you're hopefully paying

for and this feature will only work if

you're not using a Captain Jack Sparrow

version of Photoshop but working with

this you'll see something special so if

I create a curves adjustment layer do

any change you don't really have to

worry about saving when you close it you

can just close it it will automatically

save it it's a cloud document and with

the cloud documents you'll either see a

check right here which means that this

is a cloud document and it is available

offline easily or you'll see a cloud

icon like this which means that it is a

cloud document and it's available in the

cloud if you click on it it will

download it for you let's say you were

working on this in your home computer

and then let's say you took a road trip

with your laptop not your home computer

of course and then you just have to log

in with your laptop in your Adobe

account and then when you open Photoshop

you'll have access to the same file even

though you didn't carry it with you so

that's cloud documents if there's

something extremely important that

you're working on you can always have a

cloud backup like this so let us do a

quick little recap and I have something

special for you and that special is this

chart if you look at this chart you

don't have to worry about anything else

ever when it comes to saving unless

Photoshop does some major changes I hope

this video helps you in some way shape

or form it was quite tiring so I would
