Oh, I know it's me again .

I need to send some images via email which are created in Photoshop and saved as JPEG. I know I can save them as PSD but I cannot send as file too large ..........................please help me

[Gareth PC]

File > Save As

on the window that pops up, in the "format" drop down select jpeg

name your file

hit save

on the next box that pops up move the slider more to the right for better quality (bigger file) to the left for less quality (smaller file)

the default settings should be fine though

hope that helps

It's already saved as a JPEG Gareth, I need it saved as a PSD file and then send in an email ?

[Gareth PC]

oh my bad

so you have a JPEG - that you want to save as a PSD?

or

you have a PSD you want saving as a smaller PSD ?

edit

you know one day I'll actually read the screen

ok jpeg to psd - but why?

you can open it in photoshop and just save as a psd, but it wouldn't get any of the layers back - it'll just be teh same jpeg - bigger

I have a JPEG and need it saved as a PSD (I can do that bit ) but when I go to send 1 image, it won't send as it's too big

[Gareth PC]

Yeah, PSD's have a lot more information in them - it seems a waste though converting the jpeg to PSD, having trouble figuring out why you wanna do that

you could zip the files as you converted them to psd, that would shrink it

[Pixels Ink]

Why would you want to convert a JPEG to a PSD Fuzzy? (if you don't mind me asking)

There won't be any more information / layers available as Gareth has said. If anything, converting it to another format would just lead to further digital corruption in the file with no obvious benefits.

Ok I will come clean (they won't mind)

Printing.com have accepted some of our images for their Christmas cards and I need to send them electronically. I have been asked to send them in a PSD file and not a JPEG and I can't as file too big. How do I zip them ?

[Calibre Designs]

You mean they want the original source files? Layered?
Do you have the original PSD file in layers?
Have you seen how big the PSD file is once it has been flattened? Should reduce file size quite considerably.

Whatever you do - always keep the original layered PSD.

I'm even more confused
