Saving a Banner

Banner Studio allows you to save your banner in a Banner format (.bnr), and in a Graphics Interchange Format (.gif). All banners must be in .gif format before being submitted to SmartAge.com; however, you should not save your file in a .gif format until you are ready to submit your banner. Once you save your banner as a .gif, you cannot modify your banner.
Saving a Banner as a .bnr
The first time you save your banner the Save As dialog box appears. Type the name of your banner in the File Name entry field and click Save. Banner Studio automatically saves the file as a .bnr. The bnr. file format allows you to make changes to your banner. When you are finished creating your banner, you can save it as a .gif.
