Right-click on the picture that you are working on.  You should see a
bunch of menus come up.  One of those menus is a File menu; that File
menu has "Save" and "Save As".  My guess as to the reasoning behind
there being no Save item on the main File menu is that you can have more
than one file open and active.  How is the program to know which of the
files you want saved?
