Save / Save As

	Save (Ctrl + S) Click on the File menu, select Save. Save As... (S) Click on the File menu, select Save As (or use the Save As tool on the toolbar.) A dialog appears to allow you to save your file to disk. Use Save in and File name to find the directory in which you want the file to be placed. To save the file as a different type, use Save as type. Click the arrow and a list of file types drops down. Move the cursor to the one you want and click again. When you save, the file will be converted to this new type. IrfanView will allow you to change many types of supported formats to many other types. To the right of Save as type is a button marked Options. Clicking this brings up another dialog box with special options for certain file types. These options are fully explained here. When ready, click the Save button, and the file will be sent to your disk drive. To exit without saving, click the Cancel button. Another way to close is to click the X in the upper right corner. For a helpful reminder of many of the functions in the Save and Save As dialogs, click the ? in the upper right corner of the box, point the mouse at an item in the box, and click again. A message will appear to tell you what that item is for. Note that when the dialog appears, Save comes up in the last directory from which you loaded an image, such as the current one. If you just click the Save button, the image is resaved, overwriting the old version on the disk. On the other hand, Save As comes up in the last directory in which you saved a file. In either case, you can use the Save in box to find the directory you want to use.
