(See "Setting preferences for saving files" on page 254.) Image Previews options (Mac OS) Saves thumbnail data for the file. Thumbnails display in the Open dialog box. You can set these image preview options: Icon to use the preview as a file icon on the desktop, Full Size to save a 72-ppi version for use in applications that can only open low-resolution Photoshop Elements images, Macintosh Thumbnail to display the preview in the Open dialog box, and Windows Thumbnail to save a preview that can display on Windows systems.

File Extension options (Mac OS) Specifies the file extension for the selected file format. Select Append to add the format's extension to the filename and Use Lower Case to make the extension lowercase. Some Unix file servers do not recognize uppercase extensions.

(See "Setting preferences for saving files" on page 254.) Saving images in specific formats Photoshop Elements can save images to various file formats. (See "About file formats" on page 245.) While you're developing an image, you should always save your work in Photoshop (PSD) format. This practice ensures that all of the image data is saved.
