Can't Save PSD as JPG?

[LeeAndra]

I just finished a CT page, and while it will save as a layered file, it will not save as a JPG. Why is this?! Can I fix it?! I have a horrible feeling that I'm going to have to redo the page.

Oh, and I opened up another PSD that I have, and when I wanted to save it as a JPG, that option was available to me, so it seems like it's just an issue with this particular PSD.

Help! You'd think after using PS for the last 7 years that I'd know it much better than this!

save it another way -like as a tif then close it and open it back up and try to save that one as a jpg.

That doesn't work either, E.

 

[Emmy]

then you are screwed.



Ok just kidding, I have no idea. That is really weird.

can you duplicate the image then save it?

I had this happen once and for the life of me can't remember what I did to fix it

is .png available?

Looks like you may be in 16bit. This has happened to me before.

In CS3 go to 'Image' - 'Mode' - '8 Bits/channel' - Then 'save as'...

Good luck!

Okay, so I was in Lab Color mode for some reason. Thanks for your tip, Kjersti! All fixed now!
