Are you new to Photoshop? Have you been trying to teach yourself the basics of Photoshop but have found the amount of educational material available on the net a bit overwhelming? As the world’s #1 Photoshop site, we’ve published a lot of tutorials. So many, in fact, that we understand how overwhelming our site may be to those of you who may be brand new to Photoshop. This tutorial is part of a 25-part video series demonstrating everything you will need to know to start working in Photoshop.

Photoshop Basix, by Adobe Certified Expert and Instructor, Martin Perhiniak includes 25 short video tutorials, around 5 – 10 minutes in length that will teach you all the fundamentals of working with Photoshop. Today’s tutorial, Part 24: Saving and Presenting Your Work will explain a bit about PSD, JPEG, PNG files, the web gallery, and contact sheet with Bridge. Let’s get started!

    Asking for some real reader sound-off:

    Has anyone ever sent a photo to a printshop in PDF format..? I’ve never heard of this practice before this video. I’ve been researching a few places to get some things printed, and they always ask for, at a minimum, jpeg, or tiff, but usually a jpeg is preferred. ProDPI for instance, specifically says PDF’s, PSD’s and TIFF’s are *not* accepted. Mpix dosn’t mention anything about PDF’s, but they do require flattened JPEG.

    I send other files for print to various printshops on a regular basis as part of my job, created in either illustrator or indesign, (usually illustrator) as pdf, so I’m not completely unfamiliar with that process. I’ve just never ever heard of sending a *photograph* to a printshop in PDF format.

    I seek to learn, not to be combative, so somebody please inform me if I’ve got something to learn here. :)

      Agree, perhaps it’s a European thing. I’m sure Adobe would like us to think it’s the standard for printing. We are aware that Martin is a Photoshop evangelist but it seems to me that he’s done an excellent job of keeping inappropriate advertising out of his tuts to this point. Not much meat in this short tut but excellent job on this series overall. Any chance in continuing past your stated intent to quit after the next post Martin?

        My next series is going to start soon here on psd.tutsplus.com :)

        I agree that in many cases it’s fine to print from JPEGs or TIFFs especially if the print is a photograph without any type treatment and vector elements.

    • Patrícia

      I live in Europe (portugal) and everytime i need to print a photo, they usually ask for PDFs (if we present a JPEG its no big deal), but if we present any other format, such as TIFFs or PSDs, they just don’t accept.
      Perhaps its just a matter of preferences or conventions…

      I live in Brazil.And everyone here prints photos saving as PDFs :)

    Great video, I never knew bridge did those things, I spent ages using photoshop to create a portfolio – that and actions! That is since I got Lightroom 3 which also has a great “Print” option which allows for image positioning and labelling. I shall have to explore both and weigh up the pros and cons.

  • Akis

    Thank you for all these tutorias, i really learned many interesting things. I only have one question/problem: I tried to save a simple .jpg foto from save and web devices and this message appears”The image exceeds the size Save and Web Devices was designed for. You may experience out of memory errors and slow performance. Are you sure you want to continue?”
    What is happening?
    Please email me, thanks

  • Jarzka

    TIFF is the best format for photos if you need lossless format which also supports alpha channel and metadata :)

  • Facundo

    uuupsss!! Video is no longer avaliable. Can you fix that?

  • shochiku

    Video isn’t working unfortunately :( (which is too bad, because the rest of the series is fantastic, and I could really use this tut at the moment)
