COMMON FILE FORMATS IN PHOTOSHOP

COMMON FILE FORMATS IN PHOTOSHOP

If you're one of the many, many people who have found themselves overwhelmed by the sheer number of file formats that Photoshop presents us with when trying to save an image, good news! You can safely ignore most of them!

That's right, out of the 25 file types found in Photoshop's "Save As" dialog box, there's really only a handful of them that most of us will ever use. In this quick guide, we'll look briefly at the essential formats we need to know, or at least be aware of, including the pros and cons of each one and the situations where it makes the most sense to use it!

PSD JPEG
Pros :
  • Created specifi cally for Photoshop
  • Can retain layers, adjustments, styles, and other image edit information
  • Works well when inserting into other Adobe programs such as InDesign
Cons :
  • Very large size files
  • Cannot be viewed or inserted into many of the other photo editing programs
Pros :
  • Easily shareable and transferable to others without Photoshop
  • Smaller fi le size
Cons :
  • Compression technology, so there is loss of data/image quality
  • JPEGs lack multiple layers and are fl attened images
  • Can lose noticeable quality if saved below the maximum setting of 12

RAW TIFF
Pros :
  • Has more information than JPEG, since there is no compression or preset white balance and sharpening added
  • No image quality loss due to no compression
Cons :
  • Larger fi le sizes
  • Requires software to open and view fi les, such as Photoshop
Pros :
  • Can be saved uncompressed up to 4GB or be saved using a compression technology to have a smaller fi le size
Cons :
  • Does not retain all the information that PSD format does

OTHER FORMATS

GIF: This format should not be used for portrait photos, since it only has 256 colors available. It is better for raster version of logos. It can be used to create web animation fi les or images with transparent areas of pixels.

PNG: Meant as an improvement to GIF, PNG has improved transparency capabilities and is a popular format to use for web images, since it has lossless compression technology. However, it does not support CMYK mode, so it is not meant for printing high quality photographic prints.

PSB: Same options as PSD, but for fi les larger than 2G
