Saving a file

The changes you make to a picture aren’t permanent until you save the file. To avoid losing changes, you should save your work frequently.
To save a document for the first time:
  1. Choose File ‣ Save or press Command ⌘ + S
  2. Type a name for the document.
  3. Choose where you want to save the document.
  4. Click Save.
Please note that only the Pixelmator file format preserves editable text layers.
To save a copy of document:
  1. Choose File ‣ Save As... or press Command ⌘ + Shift ⇧ + S
  2. Type a name for the document.
  3. Choose where you want to save a copy of the document.
  4. Select “Save copy as,” and then choose the preferred format for the document.
  5. Click Save.
