Editing Photo Files
You can use Web Designer 9 Premium to easily edit your JPEG photos and save back the modified JPEG. And unlike with most photo editors, you can do this multiple times without loss of quality, even though the JPEG format is a lossy format. That's becauseWeb Designer 9 Premium is able to save your edits in a lossless way, along with the original photo. Here's how it works.
First open the JPEG, using "File" > "Open", drag and drop, or in Windows File Explorer right click and choose Web Designer 9 Premium from the "open with" list. The photo is opened as a Photo document.
Edit the photo using the photo tools as described above.
If you then do "File" > "Save" ("Ctrl + S"), the JPEG file you loaded will be overwritten with the modified image. However by default Web Designer 9 Premium also saves your photo in its native .web format. This file is placed into a "Masters" folder alongside your JPEG file. It has the same name as your photo file but with a .web extension. The .web file includes within it your original photo without the modifications applied, and of course details of your edits.
In future if you load the modified JPEG file in order to edit it further, Web Designer 9 Premium will look in the Masters folder to see if there is a .xar file available for that photo. If so, the .web file is loaded instead of the JPEG file and you can continue editing from where you left off. When you next save, the JPEG file is again overwritten and an updated .web file also saved into the Masters folder.
