PhotoSuite’s project file format (.DMSP)
DMSP is PhotoSuite's native file format for edited photos and projects. This
format retains layer information and allows you to “undo” changes you
have made. With DMSP, both the original settings and the edits (such as
transformations or special effects) are stored.
For example, if you crop a photo and save it in DMSP format, you can
reverse the edit later, retrieving the deleted portion.
Note If you save the photo in another format, such as JPEG,
BMP, or TIFF, only the portion enclosed within the crop lines is
saved. The cropped portion of the photo, the area of the photo
lying outside the crop lines, is discarded permanently.
If you share a DMSP file with another user, that user must also have
PhotoSuite.
Supported file formats
PhotoSuite supports a number of popular file formats, including Windows
bitmap (BMP), Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), Portable
Network Graphics (PNG) and Tagged Image File Format (TIFF).
The output medium you use for your photos determines the format in
which you save them. For example, to e-mail your photos or post them on a
web site, save them in JPEG format, to create smaller files.
