And here we get all of the export options. Normally, we would output this as a JPEG file and you can see this size 4,000 pixels wide is going to come out to about nine megabytes in size. We can reduce the size of it here and for more accurate results, we can tap and type in say 2,000 for a smaller image, and this brings it down to just 2.99 megabytes, but let's put it back to the full resolution. We could export this in a variety of formats for different purposes. We could, for example, export it as a PSD file, which will then be readable by Photoshop, although it does come in at 103 megabytes. But if we wanted to print this poster, we'd do best by exporting it as a PDF file. In this format, the text will be exported as vector artwork, which will print much more crisply than if it were part of the image…
