Changing a .psd file to a .jpg

Using PSE9, I put a .jpg photo into the camera raw editing window. After editing it, I clicked on Open Image and finished the tweaks there. When I tried to save it, it didn't allow me to save it as a .jpg, only .psd, .png, tiff, etc. I've tried to Save As but the .jpg option doesn't come up. Can you tell me how to get a .psd file to be saved as a .jpg. Thanks.

Ensure that there is no space or dot in the filename itself?
If you still face the same issue, please share a screenshot of the Save dialog.
Thanks

Simulating DNG Profile changes in PSD file

Hello everyone,
I have a RAW file and applied Adobe's default DNG Profile (via the Camera Calibration panel in Lightroom 2.6) and converted it to a PSD file so I can retouch the photo via Photoshop CS3.
After hours of retouching, I now want to apply a custom DNG Profile that I made from a Color Checker. However, I'm not able to apply the profile to "already-rendered images" (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles:FAQ#WhyOnlyEmbedded)
So my question is: Is there any way to simulate the effects of a profile change via Photoshop adjustments (i.e. HUE/SAT adjustments)?
Please feel free to let me know if more clarification is needed.
Thanks,
David

I thought I'd posted a reply but I failed to make it stick, somehow. Anyway, thanks Jim for that. Makes perfect sense.
Except I've just had a further thought. Why would Adobe change a file name to distinguish between color spaces if DNGs/RAWs are color-space agnostic? Where it would make sense is with jpegs, but name-changing doesn't happen there, of course, as there's no conversion taking place.

Many PSD files into small JPGs in one command? Can this be done?

Greetings group,
I have 20 or so PSD files that I want to downsize and send to a client for an OK. I would like to know if i can do this in one command instead of one at a time. Is this possible and how do you do it?
Many thanks,
Tim Bradley

If you have photoshop cs5 or newer, then you should be able to the Image Processor Pro v3.0 for that

Saving a 72 dpi psd file as a jpg the file gets converted to a 240 dpi file

I do alot of comps for my business in photoshop. I've usually start out 8" x 10" 72 dpi and save it as psd. When I do a "Save As" to jpg and reopen that file the file has converted to 240 dpi and 2" by 3". I want the jpg the same size 8" x 10" 72 dpi. How is this happening?

"I've usually start out 8" x 10" 72 dpi and save it as psd. When I do a "Save As" to jpg and reopen that file the file has converted to 240 dpi and 2" by 3"." is what you wrote.
Then something you did or used during you post processing cropped your 4:5 aspect ratio image's 576 px by 720 px to a 2:3 Aspect Ratio image reducing the pixels to 480PX by 720 Px and change its DPI resolution to 240DPI, Something you did cropped your original 4:5 aspect ratio image to a 2:3 aspect ratio image its height is still the original 720Px High but the width has been reduced by 96 px its now 480Px wide.
Photoshop does not crop and change a documents dpi resolution on it own but it does have features that can be used to do that.
DPI is just a setting its the pixels involved that matter.

Output .PSD files

I modified a JPG file in Photoshop Elements and now it is a PSD file. I want to upload it to Shutterfly, but cannot because Shutterfly only uploads JPG files. Is there a way to change a PSD file to a JPG file? Simply renaming it does not change the basic file type

File>Save As and choose JPEG from the pulldown menu. You can save in any format you like--you didn't have to create PSD the first time. Just pick your format from the menu.

Saving psd file as jpg

Hello all -
I have recently upgraded from PSE–3 to PSE–9.0 on my Intel MAC running OSX 10.5.8.
With PSE–3, when I wanted to save a psd file as a jpg, I would click File/SaveAs, and in the subsequent window select JPG. When I did that, the file name at the top of the window changed from xxx.psd to xxx.jpg and the resulting saved file was, in fact, a jpg.
When I attempt the same thing with PSE–9, the file name changes from "xxx.psd" to "xxx copy.psd". The resulting file is saved as a jpg, but with a ".psd" extension.
I went to PSE–9's 'Saving Files ...' Preferences window. I changed the 'Append File Extension:' option from 'Never' to 'Always' and clicked 'OK'. When I reopened that window, 'Append File Extension' was still set to 'Never'. I have been unable to save the 'Always' option. Thus the renamed files have always been "xxx copy.psd".
Have I been missing somthing? Is there something else I should do? Or is it a bug in PSE–9?
TIA for any thoughts -
- Ddgt

Yes, it's a bug in the mac version of PSE 9. Just opening the Saving Files preference causes pse to stop appending the file extension. You can either enter it manually, or quit the editor, relaunch it while holding down command+shift+option and keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do. Then never go to that particular preference again.

Best way to open a .psd file in FW CS5

Hello!
I'm new to FW and I recently found out about an ongoing issue of opening .psd documents in FW.
Say, I know that it's generally recommended to use adjustment layers in PS, but in FW they won't open. So maybe then its best to avoid them? Also I know that when I open a .psd file in FW I get a small window where I can choose if I want to have the editability or the appearance...(1st and 2nd options out of 4). Which one is better? Or its a trial and error thing and for each specific file, its different? Maybe if I want to use a flatten image in the live site, it would be a best practice to simply flatten the .psd file into .gif, .jpg or .png before opening it in FW to avoid the issue? Of course, I mean if I don't need layers etc. And in that case...which format would be the best out of 3? .png because its more related to FW or it doesn't really matter? Another thing is...PNG24 (flattened one)-is it a good idea to use it on live sites or its best to use .gifs and .jpgs?
Also if you could provide links to more info concerning the abovementioned issues, I'll appreciate that!
Thanks in advance!

I have posted some details at blogs.adobe.com/sarthak/2010/09/opening-psd-files-in-fireworks.html for more information. I think it is more of trials as you seem new to Fireworks app.
Incase you feel comfortable sharing the psd file, someone might give you the best option to open within Fireworks.

CS6 to CC; PSD file not updating

Ran into a problem after upgrading from CS6 to CC.
I'm making an animatic for a stop-motion film.
A lot of the media I'm editing in Premiere is in the form of .psd files created in Ps and edited within a video timeline; they are recognized by Pr as video clips.
Before upgrading to CC if I changed the .psd file in Ps and saved it it would automatically update in Pr. No render from Ps necessary.
Now it doesn't, and says media pending, "link Media" is grayed out, and I can't replace the footage.
I like working between the two programs with .psd files but for now I will render out video clips to work with.
If anyone knows how to get back to my original workflow please let me know.
Thanks,
~Scott

I found a quick solution in case someone stumbles upon this post with similar problems. I just deleted the old psd and re-imported the new one. Would have been nice to just re-link the psds so if anyone knows how to do that please post. Thanks.

Operation Not Allowed: psd files

Short version: I changed psd file modes to 16 bit.
I have had problems with my Photoshop files since I upgraded to FCP5 in Oct or Nov. I did everything suggested in these discussions and nothing worked.
I took a break from psd files and came back here to look again for another solution because I just knew it had to be something simple, some kind of setting. I followed the suggestions AND ONE FINALLY WORKED (so far).
Someone said they changed the psd file mode from 8 bit to 16 bit. Wah-lah! It's been working for me so far. Hope this helps someone esle.

One big problem..if you change it to 16bit FCP wont let you play with the psd layers

Placed PSD files are grainy

This is a recent occurence.
I always place PSD files into InDesign docs so I can just click to edit. But recently, the images are very noisy/grainy, even though they are not in Photoshop. Print quality is terrible...these are high resolution, edited images.
When I save the PSD files as max JPGs and place them into InDesign, the images are beautiful again.
I've been doing this forever without issue. Current setup is Creative Suite Design Pro CS5.5--I also use LightRoom before exporting to Photoshop for final editing.
The images are beautiful in Photoshop, whether PSD or JPG. And half of the images on the InDesign page are PSD and they are great, too.
But a few of the PSD files are awful--when I replace them with JPGs they're fine.
Any idea what's happening? For years, this has been a tried and true workflow for me.
Thanks in advance.

I switch back and forth from high to typical. The other photos look great, as do these once I replace the psds with jpgs.

Have you tried the Replace Menu command?

When saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?

when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
thank you

It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step.

Changing images' formats in .PSD files.

How can I change these without copying single images to new files, changing there and copying back?
e.g. I've pasted some large tiffs into one .psd and want to convert them to jpgs, keeping the rest of my .psd as it is.

Most image formats are disc-based, meaning that the format change takes place while saving the file. If you have a .psd and want a jpeg, SAVE IT as a jpeg, etc. -- This has advantages: there is potentially a lot more information in the psd file than the jpeg, so it is wise to retain the psd, as well as the jpeg you need in the moment.

How do you convert psd files to jpg files?

Raw photos were converted to psd and then to jpg. The jpg files were imported and some got reconverted to psd files again. How can I convert them back to jpg files so that I can put them in a photo book?

the basic answer is to open them in Photoshop and save as a jpeg to the desktop and import the JPEG into iPhoto

perhaps a bit more information would allow a better answer
And remember to never go into the iPhoto library directly and never make any changes to the structure or contents of the iPhoto library

How to change a LR5 .psd image to a .jpg image?

How do I change an LR 5 .psd image to a .jpg image?

You can’t “change” a PSD to a JPG, but you can make a copy of the PSD image in the JPG format using the LR File / Export or using PS’s File / Save As. Be aware that a JPG is a lossy format so you’ll lose something when you save as JPG, so use a high-quality to avoid losing too much.
If “change” means something else then explain in more detail.
