Saving

Posters are normally saved as files exclusively for use with PosterArtist, with a ".cpfx2" file extension.

1. In the File menu, select Save (or Save As).
The Save As dialog box is displayed.
After the first time you select Save, the existing poster will be overwritten with the new version you are saving.

4. Click Save.
The Save As dialog box is closed, and the poster you created is saved as a file exclusively for use with PosterArtist, with a ".cpfx2" file extension.
When photos, clipart, etc. are in temporary tray, they are saved with the poster.

Regular poster files have a ".cpfx2" extension. Open these files from Open Poster in the File menu.

Export files have a ".cptx" extension. Open these files from Import in the File menu.

Templates in temporary tray are not saved with the poster.

Files saved in PosterArtist version 3.0 or later cannot be opened in earlier versions of PosterArtist.

When a poster is saved as a CPFX2 format (.cpfx2), a jpg file for the thumbnail, a folder containing retouch image information files, and other files are also saved in the same location along with the cpfx2 file. When you move, copy, or delete the cpfx2 file, make sure that you also move, copy, or delete these files and folders along with the cpfx2 file.

Saving in JPEG format

1. In the File menu, select Save As JPEG.
The Save As JPEG dialog box is displayed.

3. In Size, select the size at which the poster is saved.
Select Small, Medium, or Large for A5, A4, or A3, respectively. Each size is saved at 72 dpi.

Image files are saved with the poster long side enlarged/reduced to Small, Medium or Large as specified in Size. The short side length is adjusted based on the long side length to maintain the aspect ratio.

5. Click Save.
The Save As JPEG dialog box is closed and the poster you created is saved as an image file in JPEG format.
Simultaneously, the application associated with JPEG files starts and the JPEG image is displayed.
