There are two approaches to saving a photo in Photoshop, with each having a certain purpose.

One way is to use the standard Save As, another is a special feature in Photoshop called Save for Web & Devices… which is often used to save your photos when preparing for publication to the Web.
Save as: Make use of this method when saving your photo for archiving or if you are planning to work on it later. We recommend saving the file type as a Photoshop or .PSD file, which will also save extra Photoshop-specific information about your photo.
Save for Web & Devices: Use this when you are ready to export your photo for publication to the Web. While it’s possible to save a photo with the regular “save as…” option and still publish it to the Web, the Photoshop built-in “Save for Web” feature specifically prepares your photo for the Web and has added features that allow you to see how it will appear once it’s on a Web site. This ensures your photos will show up properly on the internet.



You are able to set the sharpening algorithm or control how much sharpening occurring in shadow and highlight areas.

All techniques with the exception of the Smart Sharpening Filter should work all the way back to version 7. If you are using a version of Photoshop prior to CS3 you can still use the Unsharpen Mask Filter which is very powerful in its own right.
