Adobe Photoshop/Saving RAW as JPEG

Expert: Candice Anderson - 5/16/2006

Question
Recently, I began experience a problem when I tried to save processed RAW format in Photoshop CS as JPEG file. It did not give me the option to save as JPEG and list of the formats is shorter then before. I don't know what to do. I have Windows XP pro.

Answer
Hey there,

You really shouldn't be saving as a Jpeg anyway, as when you do that, the photo loses information. (a printer friend of mine yelled at me yesterday about this :) )

Save it as a .tiff, the information will not be lost.

to save in .jpg, make sure that you are in 8 bit and not 16 and make sure that you are in RGB. I don't know why, but sometimes CMYK won't save to Jpeg.
