 |
|
Does anyone know what the visible differences are (are there even any?) when saving a file as either a psd or pdf? I know that psd files are almost always larger in size. If I keep on saving my files as photoshop pdfs will I lose out on quality or other features?
Thanks in advance to any replys. |

PSD has its own compression which is lossless.
PDF has the option of choosing jpeg compression which is lossy, every save will throw out more data. |

So if I save as a pdf WITHOUT the jpeg compression, would I be left with a file of the same quality as a psd, only it would be smaller in size? |
