Working with photo projects 191 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.
