Thanks. I have 7.0 so I guess it will be similar to 6.0.

Welcome Mongo, glad you could come out to play, but before you do anything I stongly suggest the beginners Tutes on the main site. This will get you familiar with the basic functions of Photoshop and the functions of the tools. After that we can all start to hone your skills

Hey there, the tutorials are the best way to learn photoshop, ive been trying them all and the sites given here are a wealth of information.
I just keep practicing and trying different things and also I got the book Photoshop 7.0, Class Room In A Book, really helps.
Have fun

Mongo...

Just so you know... you DO NOT have to FLATTEN your document to make your images into a single file.
When you flatten your document it means you can no longer edit it or make any changes to the parts you created on the individual layers.

Just open the FILE menu and choose "Save for Web...", or "Save As...". And choose from the 'file type' list what image format you want your image to use -- i.e. Jpg, Gif, Png, Bmp, Tif, etc...

You're usually much better off just saving your document as an unflattened PSD file. Then also save out a copy of the file as another image format after that.
