Trouble saving files as jpg or eps in CS3

I recently moved from OSX 10.4 to OSX 10.6 (new computer) and seem to have lost the ability to save photoshop files (CS3) in eps or jpg format. I can "save to web", which will save small jpgs, but once was able to save jpgs of any size in the "save as" drop down menu. Now I don't have an option there for jpg or eps files. How can I get back the ability to save my files in those formats?

Just to make sure, those files are 8bit and RGB or CMYK (Edit: or grayscale)?

Saving files as .jpg, not .eps?

I've moved up from CS5 to 6. Always before able to save images as .jpg. Now on 6, files are saved as .eps?
Why is that and how can I save as .jpg instead?

Hi Tallarchitect,
The way you save files in Photoshop has changed very little over the last few years. You are able to choose a variety of file formats, .eps and .jpeg being two of them.
You can change the file format you want to save by selecting "JPEG" from the Format menu after opening the Save As… dialog.

Trouble saving files in Illustrator

Only recently I'm having trouble saving files in AI. It will take forever or just crash while saving especially when saving as a .pdf. Has anybody ran into this? I'm wondering if it's a recent thing all around or just me. I've been using this for almost a year now and have no worries until now. Please help!

things to check for:
Check disk for errors
Do a defrag
Check you fonts for corruption
Check your preference file for curruption (easiest to just replace it)
Check for enough drive space for the file itself plus the virual drive space need for your OS.
think if any other programs are showing signs of file errors.
As a last resort try reinstalling illustrator.

Photoshop CS - Saving file as jpg

Hi
I am using CS v8.0 and using a javascript action script. I seem to be having all kinds of problems saving the document as a .jpg though. I simply want to open all the files in a folder, resize the image and save the file with a different name (in the same folder). Here is my code so far:
// Save current dialog preferences
var startDisplayDialogs = app.displayDialogs;
var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits; // Save the current preferences
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS; // Set Photoshop to use pixels
// Don't display dialogs
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
var FILE_TYPE = ".jpg"; // The type of files that this script works on -- you can change
var SEARCH_MASK = "*" + FILE_TYPE; // Image file filter to find only those files
try {
// Ask user for input folder
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder to process");
if (inputFolder == null)
throw X_NOINPUT;
// get all files in the input folder
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(SEARCH_MASK);
// Open each file in turn
for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
// Set document to open file
var docRef = open(fileList[i]);
var fname = docRef.name;
var currentDocument = app.activeDocument;
// IF LandScape Picture
if (currentDocument.height.value < currentDocument.width.value) {
// Resize image by shrinking width
currentDocument.resizeImage(110,undefined);
// IF Height < 110 --- Enlarge top right of canvas
if (currentDocument.height.value < 110) {
currentDocument.resizeCanvas(110,110,AnchorPosition.BOTTOMLEFT);
docRef.backgroundLayer.applySharpen();
var saveFile = new File(fname.slice(0,-4) + "-small.jpg");
var saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
saveOptions.quality = 3;
currentDocument.saveAs(saveFile,saveOptions,true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
currentDocument.close(saveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
} else {
currentDocument.close(saveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
} else {
// Resize image by shrinking height
currentDocument.resizeImage(undefined,110);
// IF Width < 110 --- Enlarge right of canvas
if (currentDocument.width.value < 110) {
currentDocument.resizeCanvas(110,110,AnchorPosition.BOTTOMLEFT);
docRef.backgroundLayer.applySharpen();
var saveFile = new File(fname.slice(0,-4) + "-small.jpg");
var saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
saveOptions.quality = 3;
currentDocument.saveAs(saveFile,saveOptions,true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
currentDocument.close(saveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
} else {
currentDocument.close(saveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
catch (exception) {
// Show degbug message and then quit
alert(exception);
finally {
// Reset app preferences
app.displayDialogs = startDisplayDialogs;
The resize of the image seems to work fine but i just can't get the saving working. Also, even though i have specified DONOTSAVECHANGES i still get the "Do you want to save changes" prompt when closing the file.
Any help is appreciated..
Thanks,
Dan

With CS2, you have to make sure the image is flattened, there are not paths, no extra channels, in RGB colorspace, and 8bit. The current versions of PS does this for you, but not CS2.
BTW, you said you just installed CS2, which is a very old program. I hope you have a license for it. See this thread:

Saving file, but jpg and gif comes out garbled

Would someone please help me? I'm at my wit's end here. I'm writing a program that reads a file and saves it, but it needs to read a maximum of 512 bytes before it starts to write. It needs to work with both text files and images.
- It works fine with text files.
- It works fine with bmp images.
- It works fine with jpg and gif images under 512 bytes.
- With a jpg or gif over 512 bytes, it comes out all garbled, but the same file size as the original.
One thing is really confoozling me. When the image comes out garbled, I tried changing the files for both the original and the copy into text files by changing the file extension to .txt. Both the text files were identical! So if the data is identical, why is the copy not showing the same image as the original?
import java.io.*;
     public class SaveFile{
          public static final int BUFSIZE = 512;
          public static final String LIBRARY = "C:\\";
          static int totalRead = 0; //Total number of bytes in buffer (Max BUFSIZE).
          static int fileSize = 0; //Size of whole file.
              static String fileName = ""; //Name of file.
             static char[] data = new char[BUFSIZE]; //The data in the file.
          public static void main(String[] args){
                        //Bytes already read by the buffer.
                  int charsRead = BUFSIZE;
                      //Takes name of file from main argument.
                     for(int i=0; i < args.length; i++)
                         fileName = fileName + args;
//Name of file including directory.
          String fetchFile = LIBRARY + fileName;
          File file1 = new File(fetchFile);
          * Reads a string from the file to data (char array).
               BufferedReader reader =
new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file1), BUFSIZE);
               BufferedWriter writer =
new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
               //Will continue as long as buffer is full.
               while (charsRead == BUFSIZE){
                    charsRead = reader.read(data, 0, BUFSIZE);
                    if (charsRead != -1) {
                         totalRead = charsRead;
                         write(writer);
                         fileSize = fileSize + totalRead;
               reader.close();
               writer.close();
          System.out.println((fileSize) + " bytes read and saved as " + fileName);
     * Writes data to a new file.
     public static void write(BufferedWriter writer) {
               for (int j = 0; j < totalRead; j++) {
                    writer.write(data[j]);
I stripped away the directory selection and error handling to make it simpler.

Trouble saving files in CS4?

When trying to save a .psd file today after working on an image I got a message saying - Could not save as "_IJD3271.psd" because of disk error. Has anyone any idea what might be causing this to appear and even better how to remedy it. This has just started today as I was working recently on images and saving them without any problems whatsoever.
Thanks,
Ian

Could your hardware be faulty?
Do you work aross a network or locally?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Saving files as jpg from InDesign CS4 js

Hi, Kasyan.
You originally gavy me this script to re-save files as pngs, and now I need it to re-save them as jpgs instead. I made some changes, but I must have missed something, because it's not working. Could you take a look at it:
#target indesign
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Select the output folder for JPG images");
SetDisplayDialogs("NO");
OpenFiles();
SetDisplayDialogs("ALL");
UpdateAllOutdatedLinks();
alert("Done");
function OpenFiles(){
     for (var i = myDoc.links.length-1; i >= 0; i--) { // process links collection backwards since it's changing!
          var myLink = myDoc.links[i];
          if (myLink.linkType != "Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)"){
               var myImage = myLink.parent;
               var myImagePath = myLink.filePath;
               var myImageFile = new File(myImagePath);
               var myNewPath = myFolder.absoluteURI + "/" + GetFileNameOnly(myImageFile.name) + ".jpg";
               CreateBridgeTalkMessage(myImagePath, myNewPath);
               Relink(myLink, myNewPath);
function CreateBridgeTalkMessage(myImagePath, myNewPath) {
     var bt = new BridgeTalk();
     bt.target = "photoshop";
     var myScript = ResaveInPS.toString() + "\r";
     myScript += "ResaveInPS(\"" + myImagePath + "\", \"" + myNewPath + "\");";
     bt.body = myScript;
     bt.onResult = function(resObj) {}
     bt.send(100);
function ResaveInPS(myImagePath, myNewPath) {
     try {
           var myPsDoc = app.open(new File(myImagePath));
             if (myPsDoc.mode == DocumentMode.CMYK) {
                    myPsDoc.changeMode(ChangeMode.RGB);
           var docName = myPsDoc.name;
          var myJPGSaveOptions = new JPGSaveOptions();
          myJPGSaveOptions.interlaced = false; // or true
          myPsDoc.saveAs(new File(myNewPath), myJPGSaveOptions, true);
          myPsDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
     catch (err) {
          try {

     if (newFile.exists) {
          var originalLinkFile = new File(myLink.filePath);
          myLink.relink(newFile);
          try { // for versions prior to 6.0.4
               var myLink = myLink.update();
          catch(err) {}
function SetDisplayDialogs(Mode) { // turn on-off DialogModes in PS -- don't want to see the open file dialog while the script is running
     var bt = new BridgeTalk;
     bt.target = "photoshop";
     var myScript = "app.displayDialogs = DialogModes." + Mode + ";";
     bt.body = myScript;
     bt.send();
function UpdateAllOutdatedLinks() {
     for (var myCounter = myDoc.links.length-1; myCounter >= 0; myCounter--) {
          var myLink = myDoc.links[myCounter];
          if (myLink.status == LinkStatus.linkOutOfDate) {
               myLink.update();
function GetFileNameOnly(myFileName) {
     var myString = "";
     var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");
     if (myResult == -1) {
          myString = myFileName;
     else {
          myString = myFileName.substr(0, myResult);
     return myString;
Thank you.

On first sight:
myJPGSaveOptions.interlaced = false;
JPEG save options don't have an 'interlaced' property; that was for PNGs only. Check Photoshop's Script Help for the specific JPEG options.

When saving files as JPGs they save as 'files' and are not able to be re-opened by Photoshop. This is only correctable by manually typing in .jpg after the file name.

For some inexplicable reason when I save jpeg files they save as 'files' which can then not be re-opened. I can only temporarily solve the problem by typing 'jpg' after the name as well as selecting jpeg as the type of file. Do I need to change some other setting?

David,
I don’t have the option to append the file extension. I am using:
Adobe Photoshop Elements Version: 11.0 (11.0 (20120830.r.32025)) x32
Operating System: Windows 8 64-bit
Version: 6.2
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rich

Trouble saving files in Audition 3.0

Starting today, I can't save any file I have in edit mode as an mp3. All the options I have have an asterisk
next to it, which I never noticed before, and my option mp3 read MP3PRO (FhG) (*mp3.) What does this mean
and how can I resolve this issue?
Ken

I don't know if you have made a typo but "MP3PRO (FhG) (*mp3.)" should read "MP3PRO (FhG) (*.mp3) with the dot between * and mp3. When you say that you can't save your file is it just the .mp3 format that is giving you problems?
It has been known for the file suffix to become corrupted if someone has mistakenly typed the incorrect suffix into a file name. To make Audition save .mp3 files with the correct suffix do a Save As and fully type in the correct suffix rather than letting Audition add it itself. Ie. if "filename" is what you want to call your saved .mp3 type "filename.mp3" into the filename box. Audition should then save future .mp3s OK.

Trouble saving files

Any theories about why Keynote won't let me save a file? Version 3.0.1

Start looking for the slide(s) that are causing the problem.
Delete half your slides and attempt a "Save As..." (so you can give the file a different name and not overwrite the original). If it saves, the problem slide(s) is (are) among those deleted. Concentrate on those by again deleting half the suspects and do it again... and again...

Trouble saving files in resource hacker...again

On my windows 7 pc, I edited the main.cpl file. I put the edited file in ot the system 32 folder, and when I checked back, it's like windows restored the original file and like I didn't edit it at all. But, when I drag it back to my desktop it shows
that I did edit the file. I can't seem to save the file without windows replacing the edited file.

Im on a macbookpro.
When i try to save a tiff it labels raw, a jpeg becomes a dcm at first 1 thought the dcm was an odd error so i tried to emial the image to a friend but it was unreadable defiantly not a jpeg.

When is sunlight, absolutely. Not a problem with the Droid Ultra but rather all phones.
You ever see the commercial about the Nook devices. The have a special screen to reduce glare allowing you to see your screen in sunlight.
As far as I know, companies have not implemented this on anycell phone.
There are after market anti-glare screen protectors
Check Amazon or eBay, they should be relatively inexpensive.
Good Luck

Photoshop is Crashing when saving files

Hello, I have been having some trouble saving files. Sometimes, and usually with the first file, Photoshop will crash when I try and save a file. It also happens when I try and open a file into photoshop. Most specifically, when I try and open my watermark file (png). I have deleted the preferences, and am working on a freshly installed version of Windows 7. Here is the crash report I was able to retrieve. I am usually not able to retreive this info, because in most cases, Photoshop just completely dissapears instantly.

StackHash implies memory corruption.
By and large, during software development, the number 1 reason I've isolated for that is problems in display drivers. That's not to say it's the only reason memory could be corrupted, but it's more common than most people would think.
What video card do you have, and what version of display driver?
Does the problem persist if you disable OpenGL Drawing in Edit - Preferences - Performance (then restart Photoshop)?
