Save Image

An image can be saved with the File > Save Image As menu item in the menu bar. The Save Image As dialog is similar to

the Open File dialog. An image can be saved to a new or an existing file. You can select the file type from the Save Image

As popup menu by clicking save as. If no file type is selected (None), Image Broadway will use the entered file extension

from the file name to determine the file type.

In addition to saving your image file in bitmapped formats, Image Broadway also allows you to save your work as Image

Broadway Work (*.ibw) format, which preserves floating layers and objects, selections, channels, and active paths. If Image

Broadway cannot determine the valid file extension to use, the default file type (PNG) will be used to save the file.

To save an existing file, Image Broadway will check the contents of the image and try to save it in its original format. If

certain information in the edited image will be lost due to the file format, Image Broadway will display a dialog before

saving to the original image. For example if transparency has been added to the image and the original file format does not

support transparency, such as JPEG, or if the original image is in indexed format, this Save Image dialog will be displayed.
