# Before Photoshop 6
Save As Copy
I believe. After version 6, you just choose a file type.

And indeed, Save For Web is perfect for the board.

# got to flaten the image
you cnat save anything with layers as a jpg. unless you 'save for web' (version 5.5 and later) and it does it for you

# I tend to...
...cut out the different bits I want to merge together and keep them on seperate layers as long as possible. I try to muck about with the colour and contrast/brightness levels until they match as best as I can get them.

I use the transform tools to get them all lined up and reshaped if need be - removing bits with the eraser and adding bits with the clone tool.

Once they are just about right, I flatten the image and use the healing brush/smudge tool to make the joins seamless. Once you are done, adding a little bit of noise helps to bring it together too.

To save as a .gif or .jpg I use 'save for web' which lets you preview how the picture will look with different compression - helping you to keep an eye on the filesize. Depending on the version you are using, you might need to 'save as copy' in order to save as a .jpg or .gif

Dunno if those are the the correct things to do, but I've come across that technique using trial and error.

# Easy 4
u to type
(I helped save b3ta! Choice, Fri 26 Sep 2003, 14:07, archived)
# It's obviously very difficult for you to type though.
You even have difficulty with such basic words as "for" and "you". I've included them below on separate lines so you can copy and paste them until you get the hang of things:

for
you

# I try not
to ever flatten layers - to heal stuff, just stick another layer over the top and keep painting/cloning. Also, always use layer masks rather than the eraser so you can go back and change things as you see fit.

Not so important for b3ta stuff, but for commercial work, it'll save your bacon when the client changes their mind in a month's time.
