Can´t Save Jpeg from PSD

[cvhenke]

I updated from PSE 2 to 3, and with a edited PSD file open, I can´t SAVE AS Jpeg the program saves a PSD file that can´t be oponed by PSE 3 ( Error), the only way to SAVE AS the PSD file is to duplicate it, then I can save the copy as Jpeg. That´s crazy. Any help. Carlos

Carlos,
Your PSD file is probably in 16bit mode. JPG saves in 8bit. In PS3, go to [Image] and select [Mode] and select convert to [8bit].
Then you can save in JPG.

Carlos,

When you used PSE2 you used to save a file by doing File>Save as. PSE3 is more complicated as it has both an editor and an organiser ... How and from where are you trying to use save?

I open it in the Editor, make the changes and try to Save As Jpeg

Carlos -

If none of the above worked make sure the image > mode is set to RGB color. Good luck.
