40 Chapter 8: Saving and Printing Pictures
Saving Multiple Versions
Once you’ve downloaded a photo to your computer and erased it from your
camera, your computer’s hard disk contains the only copy of that photo. This
original version should be treated like a lm negative: You don’t want to do
anything to it that will alter the original content. Except rotation to correct
orientation or renaming the le, the original version should be left alone.
When you want to edit a photo or add it to a project, you should always make a
copy of the original and work with the copy. That way, if you make some edit-
ing changes that you regret later, you can always go back to the original, make a
new copy, and start over.
To make a copy of a photo:
1. Open the picture.
2. On the menu, click .File Save As
The Save As dialog box opens.
3. Click the folder where you want to save the copy of the original.
4. In the box, enter a name for the copy.File name
5. Click Save.
The Save As dialog box closes, with the new copy of the picture open in
the workspace.
