Exporting to another file format
In many situations, you’ll want to save a file to one of the standard graphics
formats. In PhotoPlus, this is known as exporting.
Exporting an image means converting it to a
specified graphic file format other than the
native PhotoPlus (.spp) format. This flattens
the image, removing layer information.
Only the SPP and the Photoshop PSD formats
preserves i
mage information, such as multiple
layers, masks, or image map data that would
be lost in conversion to another format.
The Export process itself can be carried out by using either a standard file dialog
where you can specify the path, name and format of the image file, or by using
an Export Optimizer where you can additionally compare export previews for
multiple file formats before export.
To export an image:
1. Choose Export... from the File menu.
2. The Export dialog appears, with the file's current base name shown.
Change the base name if desired.
3. To open the Export Optimizer to fine-tune export settings, click
Optimizer, then click OK.
4. Click Save in the Export dialog.
