Hi paintballfreak,

As you know, different file formats are used in different situations. In a sense it would help us to figure out how you were intending to use the images before knowing how to suggest saving them. Generally save your image in PSD, Photoshop's native format which gives you the most freedom in modifying the file in the future. If you are printing, you print right from the PSD file. If you then have a reason to save a version of the image such as a GIF or JPEG for use on the internet use the Save For Web... feature. Other file formats have their uses but most often they are the results of other graphic image programs and opened in Photoshop.

If you would like a comprehensive look at Photoshop's various file formats...
