While the PhotoJazz plug-in is compressing (saving) an image, Photoshop displays a wait cursor (a spinning watch or an hourglass), or, for very large images, a progress indicator. During this time, you can cancel the Save operation at any time by pressing Command+Period.

On the Macintosh, the operating system automatically keeps track of the file format type for you. On most other platforms, including Microsoft Windows® and UNIX, the file format is identified by a file-type name or file-name extension appended to the file name. The extension for PhotoJazz image files is ".jzz". If you use a Macintosh and are planning to exchange your PhotoJazz image files with other operating systems, you can have Photoshop automatically append the ".jzz" file extension to the name displayed in the Save dialog box by selecting File > Preferences > Saving Files and setting the Append File Extension pop-up menu in the Preferences dialog to either Always or Ask When Saving.

With the scripting feature introduced in Adobe Photoshop 5.0, you can batch-convert flattened image files to PhotoJazz format, because the PhotoJazz plug-in is scriptable. Refer to the Photoshop User Guide for instructions. You can download a free Adobe Photoshop 5.5 Tryout from the Adobe web-site.
