Answer 1

Go to this website:

It gives you step by step directions on how to save it as a GIF file.

Notice there's an Image Type pulldown menu. ImageReady allows you to use ye olde adaptive palette to map the colors of the image. You can also use Perceptual and Selective palettes, which use different algorithms. Try them all to see which one you prefer.

Answer 2

It saves as joeg becasue ithat is the default format. you will need to change it to gif the first few times, then if the software picks up on the fact that you use another file format, it will automatically place the gif as a default.

Depending on the particular software titlef you restart the cmpmuter, Windows may restore the JPEG setting upon startup.

Answer 3

You should be using jpg. It supports 24bit color. GIF is only 256 colors. Once you save as GIF, it blends the nearby colors, and there is no way to get back to the colorful spead of colors that you started with.

You should always retain your original. Every time that you save, using a compressed formats like jpg and gif, you lose something.

Answer 5

Well you can change it using "file type" on the "Save AS" menu, but most of the time it saves it like that because it is the best file type for that image. You can change it, but it may freak out the colors.

Answer 6

When you save a picture. the box that appears asks you "save as" then under that there is a drop down menu with all the formats. chose jpeg and I'm sure it will remember for the next time. i don't recall bmp being a default!!!!
