As per the title...I know someone asked this before but I can't find the thread. I'm sure there is a setting to change somewhere...Anyone know which one/where?

Beat me! Just check what you started with - PSD or TIFF with layers?

If it wont save as a Jpeg, i only know of one reason. The Bit level of the file. If you go Image - Mode... at the bottom should be 32, 16, 8 bits. To save as a jpeg it must be in the 8 Bit format. If your uploading RAW files into PS, i think you will need to change this Bit rate also, before saving to jpeg.

Martin - email it to me & I'll have a look & see if I can convert it. I haven't got PS, so can't help that way.

I bet it's a butterfly! tongue out

Jo, I can't e-mail .tiff files with my hotmail account...that's why I want to convert it to .j-peg.

It has no layers (well, just the one wink) as it's a straight conversion from RAW to .tiff, and it's happening with all my images unless I'm starting with a j-peg frown

So when you say "won't save as a Jpeg" - do you mean that you don't have Jpeg as a choice in the drop down box on the "save as" window?

Or do you have the choice, but it just doesn't save it?

scratchchin

(And have you tried a range of other images?)


Ooo, quick edit: - and do I remember having trouble with certain file names, which will save as .tif but not .jpg??????

Did you try 'save a copy as..' ?

If all else fails and it happens again, copy the image into a new window and try again smile

Well, using reverse logic, produce yourself a 16- or 32- bit file and see if it acts the same - i.e. you can't save as a Jpeg.

Are you having other, maybe even unrelated, PS problems? I'm never confident that, for example, plug-ins and imported actions won't have potential problems for PS.
