Iphoto says Unrecognizable format when importing a photoshop JPEG RGB

Question

Hi there, I've tried several times to import my adobe photoshop jpeg files into iphoto. My goal here is to simply burn my jpegs on to a cd and to do that I'm trying to import them into iphoto to burn them. However, my adobe photoshop jpegs won't import. Other threads mention that the files should be RGB and I ensured that they were in photoshop but it still shows that my jpegs are unrecognizable formats. I feel like I'm ALMOST there and missing one piece to be able to import them successfully. Something else to mention is that I don't NEED them to be Adobe photoshop jpegs. I just want them to be normal jpegs. I feel like is what's preventing them from importing into iphoto. Any thoughts? Thanks for any help!

I've tried your suggestion. It doesn't work. I can only access a modified Photoshop picture through finder and its in a "modified" folder by year. I've been trying all sorts of "tricks" and the only one that seems to work is to save the photoshop file to a separate folder within the "Pictures" folder, and then to import the file into iphoto.
That is correct - you must Never make any changes to the contents of the iPhoto library including saving photos to it - all photos MUST be imported into iPhoto
It's a frustrating additional step and for anyone that does multiple changes to a file in Photoshop, this can end up being a pain in the rear.
You can import the original photo to iPhoto and set PS as the editor for iPhoto - edit and save (not save as) and the edited photo will be properly returned to iPhoto
