The default format will be the last format you used. Save Copy As is also useful for saving your work in stages. when saving files in stages you can always come back later and work on them.
- If you save your image in ".psp" format, you can go to >Image/Image Information, then click the Creator Information tab. Type in any notes you'd like for future reference.
