'Because of the limitations of the specified file format (and possibly the save options you've selected), the saved file will be limited to a merged image.'
Can someone explain exactly what this means? It sounds like a bad thing but I don't really understand what its implications are? Does it deplete the quality of the saved file in any way? I know what merge means but why is it used negatively here saying the file will be limited in some way? Does it matter at all or should I just ignore it and turn the warning off?

Re: Limited To Merged Image
Welcome to the forum.
Keeping it relatively simple, an image created/opened in PSP can have lots of layers - overlays, adjustements, text, drawings and so on. To save these, the it is necessary to use the pspimage format.
A jpeg file has just one layer so if the image is to be saved in that format, all the PSP layers have to be merged into one.
In a similar way, a RAW camera file may be of 14 bits per pixel but the jpeg can only be 8 bits per pixel so again an adjustment is needed.
I can't think of a case where saving in a different format affects the resolution (width and height in pixels).
Hope this helps a bit.
