Cannot save as jpeg

I am having trouble saving my file as a jpeg and after searching and searching I was thinking that my problem may be that it is 16 bit rather than 8 bit (it is a file I exported from Lightroom 3). I am trying to convert to 8 bit but having trouble figuring out how to do this. When I choose Image -> Mode, 8 bits is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?

If the Mode>8 bits is greyed out, then it's not a 16 bit file.
Make sure the file is in the RGB color mode.

Cannot save to jpeg - file gets corrupted?

First let me say, I have searched through the forum and can't find the answer to what I am looking for. That is probably because I am not really sure what my problem is.
As of yesterday I cannot save a file to jpeg (using PS7)
I have done a virus scan and all the other regular checks but nothing is showing up.
Basically this is what I am doing.
Opening a new document - adding some designs, flattening document and then saving. I choose to save it as a jpeg and everything seems to go fine until I go to open up the saved document. Then there is nothing there.
Doesn't seem to matter if it is a new file or an old file. Same problem. (Mode is set to RGB-8bit)
Sometimes if I do a save as and give the file a completely new name a pop-up comes up and says the following:
Could not save as "C:\...\test.jpeg" because that document is currently open. Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.
Of course this makes no sense since I am doing a save as and giving the file a new name.
Can anyone help me? Or point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate it!

Thanks - 7.0.1 installed and still the same problem.
I have narrowed things down a bit.
It seems if I create a new doc 2400x3000 for example I can convert it to a jpeg no problem.
If I start with 3600x3600 I get the problem. Same steps as the above file with the only difference being the size.
Anyone have a solution for this as it seems like it is size related (note that I have created at this size before and never had this problem).
Thanks.

Cannot save in jpeg format

Hi,
After opening a raw file in PSE editor it seems that I cannot save it in JPEG. The closest thing is JPG2000.
I'd like to save a few files in JPEG since I use Qimage to print and it looks like Qimage does not recognice CS2 files.
What am I missing here?
Please help.

You might be in 16 bit mode. switch your image to 8 bit and try again.

CS4 cannot save to jpeg

Suddenly I am unable to save .psd and .tif (maybe others) to .jpeg due to 'program error'. My 'solution' for the moment is to save the .psd using maximum compatibility, then import into Lightroom, then export from Lightroom as .jpeg (ugh!)
The .psd mode is 8-bit RGB. I have 155GB of space left on the HDD. I was able to save to .jpeg a few days ago, but not now.
Seems to me like a Photoshop bug. Is there a fix?

Can you tellme where this is
" I noticed that I was saving using jpeg-optimized (I don't know how this was set as in the past I've used jpeg-standard). So after changing to jpeg-standard, it worked!"

Cannot save as jpeg in CS2 after exporting from lightroom

I'm so frustrated. This began happening only a couple times here and there after starting to use lightroom (can't remember if it was the 1.4 version, or the beta version). I don't think it's my photoshop program, since I have completely re-installed it twice and reinstalled onto my computer.
Anyway, now it's happening all the time. I export images from lightroom into CS2 to make final edits, sharpen for print, crop, etc and then photoshop will not let me save it as a jpeg. I can save as a psd, or a tiff, but not a jpeg. I have tried exporting in jpeg format, or tiff format, and everything is fine until I try to save either type as a jpeg. It lets me choose the quality, 10-12 etc, then when I click OK, A red box with "could not complete your request because of a program error" pops up.
I have Vista, edit in sRGB, export in sRGB, etc..... just don't know what to do since I NEED to be able to edit and save to send to print. Please help.

Find the solution here:

basically you delete the camera raw info put into the file that trips up CS2 (but not CS3!)

Cannot "Save as" jpeg anymore

Hello,
I have had photoshop extended for approx. 5 months. Recently when I'm working on a shot and want to save it as a jpeg,
that option is no longer there. I can save it as many, many things, but jpeg option has disappeared.I could before.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks Tim

Buko,
Thank you very much. I changed from 16 bit and all is well. Thank you!

Cannot save any jpeg, tiff or other formats except document or template (suddenly today)

I created a file in InDesign and went back to it the next day and discovered that I only had two options for save or save as: InDesign CS5.5 document and InDesign CS5.5 template -- I am not able to save in any other file formats. I followed some online advice that said to hold down the ctrl + alt + shift key and when the dialog box came up chose to delete preferences-- it was said that would restore the original settings which did not happen. I am still only have two options (document of template) to save or save as. Any help is appreciated! Thank you

I see -- I just tried that and it worked, but I never had to do that before -- I don't know what happened! I have always been able to "save" or "save as" and there is a long list of choices there that have disappeared overnight! Thank you for the export work around -- I will use that until I can figure out how to get my other options back! Thank you for responding!!

Using Adobe Photoshop CS2 version 9 and have updated it, but when stacking photos, it comes up with PSD, whereas I want Jpeg, and I change the format to Jpeg and the box then comes up with cannot save as there is a program error. Be very grateful for help

jpg does not support Layers.
Just to make sure, what exactly do you mean by "stacking photos" and what do you want to achieve thereby?

Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to. I did not have any problems before the upgrade. I would greatly appreciate any light shed on this.

Go to the HP site and look for drivers for your scanner. It apparently needs an updated driver to work with Mavericks.

That button is not the Save As button, really, but a link to the DNG converter. To save your raw file in an image format, click the Open button instead and then save in the format of your choice in the editor.

I cannot save after I place a small jpeg into illustrator CS6.

I cannot save after I place a small jpeg into illustrator CS6.

hey Jacob-
So I've tried creating a new document and pasting all of the artwork in that document. Nothing changed.
I checked all of the jpeg's I'm working with, resized some or made smaller etc. At this point I'm seeing no issues with the jpegs
and the illustrator file I'm working with....no stray points, did a clean up.
It's the action of saving the informatin to the file. The spinning beach ball appears....forever. Weird, because I just had a job where I was
doing the exact same action and had no issues.
I also re-down loaded all of the jpegs. I'm recieving these from a dropbox folder, copied to my dropbox folder. I use dropbox to receive
files daily so I don't think that's the problem but maybe there is a problem in the transfer???
I have a call into Adobe at this point. Tomorrow I will recieve a call from their tech support.
Thank you for your help thus far and if you have any other suggestions I'm open to them.

I have installed iOS7 on my ipad 4, now my ipad recognises PDF's emailed to me as jpegs and cannot save them into iBooks, any solutions? iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi Cellular (MM), iOS 7

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (MM), iOS 7

Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

Cannot save JPEG file from RAW file edit.

After editing NEF raw file 8 bit channel in Elements 9 > open image> edit again> save as JPEG maximium> OK. Then end up with broken file image in organiser. Will save as a PDF file. Edited JPEG's saved. Previous edited NEF files (sucessfuly saved as JPEG) will not save as JPEG this time. OS MAC 10.6.8. Do I need to re-enstall? Dread the thought of re organising thousands of images even when tagged.

When you click on the open image button in the Camera Raw dialog make sure the dropdown menu doesn’t show 16 bit. If it does change to 8 bit and then click open image. You can only save jpeg in 8 bit mode.

Preview cannot save after modified a jpeg file

I open a jpeg file by using preview. After I crop the same image, preview does not allow me to save with the same image name, another name or even duplicate it.

Not a preference thing.
You can close the open document you saved the jpeg from without saving it. Then open the jpeg image saved from it. If the layered image was never saved there will be no PSD file on your system for the layered state. If you Flatten a new layer document before saving it as a jpeg file. During the course of the save as jpeg the jpeg images file will become the backing file associated with the open document and the current document name should change from un-named or whatever to the filename.jpg you just saved. New documents have no backing file till they are saved to disk.
If you open a jpeg file and add layers the document becomes layered jpeg does not support layers so Photoshop would want to save a layer document as a layerd file. If you flatten before the save. Save would default to replace the jpeg file currently backing the opened modified and flattened document.

I edit my photos in Photoshop, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto. But if I add text to an image in Photoshop can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11. If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

Only by exporting.
The Export menu in Photoshop CS3 does not have any direct choices for JPEG.
