Hi all,
Sorry for what must be an incredibly pathetic question, but I'm very new to
Photoshop (only having used "packages" like MS Paint before!) and I don't
think this is the sort of thing you can find in the help file. :-/

I'm just having a problem getting my images to look crisp, especially in
regard to text (and even at a 12-point font). Before I knew that .jpg
compression would cause an image to blur, so I would always save my images
as .bmp. Does Photoshop save .psd images with some kind of compression that
makes it blurry? I can't use .bmp 'cos of the lack of transparency. Is
there any way to get around this so that when I print my images I can
actually read the text? :-/

Many thanks in advance for your help,
