Photoshop CC wont let me save image with layers as a png or jpg

I am a beginner and just got Ps last night. I have edited a photo and only put one effect on it, stroke. When i try and save the file as a png or jpg, or really anything other than a psd it tells me that it cannot save the layers the i used in that format. How can i save my edited picture as a png or jpg or convert a psd file to jpg or png?

If you want transparency for the web there are two choices PNG and GIF. Gif only supports 255 mapped colors when you want transparency and transparent pixels are empty 0% opacity. PNG supports full color and an Alpha channel for transparency partial transparency is supported. GIF file are very small.
There are also animated GIF file that browsers support. While you can create animated png file many browsers don't support them and some browsers like Chrome have an add-on that will support animated png files. Photoshop will save Animated GIF but has no support for animated PNG.

Photoshop wont let me save files with Extensions...

Photoshop isn't letting me save my files with extensions any more. It's only saving files as copy's and I have to add the extensions manually. This happened around the time I updated to OSX maverics, and is driving me crazy as it is extremely time consuming. I'm using CS5 version. Please Help!!

Thankyou! That worked to fix the file extensions part of the problem. I had somehow changed it to "never "instead of "always".
I'm still having the error message problem that photoshop is forcing me to save the file as a copy though. See the attached photo for the error message I'm receiving.
Do you know how to fix this? So that I can save work to the original image?

My external hard drive doesn't wont let me save with my new MacBook Pro, I could save with my old one but not with my new one.

Ok so I recently got a new MacBook Pro and my external hard drive will let me see what I have on it but wont let me save. It worked fine with other MacBook Pro's with snowleperd but dosen't seem to work with my Mountian Lion.

Open Disk Utility
Select the external drive
Then read the parameters for that drive

Can't save image with Photoshop.

We do often have a issue where we can not save the open image in Photoshop CS 6. To this day the problem appears when the image contains Adjustments Layers with Layer Masks.
It does not matter if we try to save the image locally or on a network volume, we do only get a prompt telling us there is a Program Error. Trying to save as TIFF with layers instead of the preferred PSD format
does not make any difference also.
If we create a new image and copy all layers with masks and all the photoshop paths, this image can be saved and the original image can also be saved if we do a flattening prior to saving.
I do believe this is a bug in photoshop and has nothing to do with corrupted images or other computer related issues. We are working with Macintosh and experience this problem in both Mac OS 10.8.5 and 10.9.3

JPG compression does not support transparency, I think you
have to convert it to png of gif first.

Photoshop wont let me 'save as'

hi, have been using photoshop CS on windows seven, previously xp for years now with only a few problems/bugs here and there which were fixed if i reset the user preferences, but the other day while i was working on a picture when i went to 'save as' nothing happened, nothing popped up and photoshop didnt freeze, it just didnt do anything, also saving for web wont work, the save as button isnt greyed out, i can click it but no popup, no save . Have reinstalled, resent the preferences, checked my resolution, everything i can think of but nothing seems to fix the problem!!! please help!!

Lots of "save as" problems in CS6 because user is transfering plugins from a previous version into CS6. Do not do this.
Delete the plugins and do not point CS6 to old plugins.
If you have 3rd party plugins best to go to website and download current version in the the CS6 plugins folder.

PSE 11 - How save image with printer color profile?

I use an outside service to make prints. How can I save an image in PSE 11 in either TIFF or JPEG format with the color profile for the outside lab's printer? Thanks.

You can print a photo using the correct printer profile for the lab printer. In the print dialog box , go to "Page Option>Color Management" and then choose Color Handling as "Photoshop Managers color". Now click the printer profile dropdown and choose the profile for your lab printer. If you are not able to find the profile for you printer then choose "Printer Manages Color"
To your second question the answer is that you cannot save the image with the correct colors for printing. You can only convert the profile of your image to Adobe RGB which matches gamut of most printer profiles using "Image Menu>Convert Color Profile and choose Adobe RGB.

Photoshop CS3 crashing when working on image with layer mask

I've never had problems with Photoshop CS3 (or any other version) until now.
Here's the problem:
I created an image that has a layer mask applied to it. The image is saved in one layer (named Layer One) but not flattened in order to retain a transparent background. So far so good.
But when I try to exapnd the canvas or make other changes to the image, it crashes. Repeatedly.
Do I have to apply the mask (and thus give up the transparency) to prevent crashes?
I did find a workaround. Applied the mask, made a cast drop shadow (which is what I was after all along), then copy-and-pasted the drop shadow into the original layer-masked image with transparent background.
But is this the only way? Am I experiencing a bug or is something else wrong?
Thanks!

You create a new user account
and it will show you where the corruption is. in the old user account or in the system or application.
It a method of troubleshooting.

Photoshop CS4 wont let me use my 3D Axis

For the first month or so using CS4, I could use my 3D Layer tools and the Axis would always show. A few days ago, I started up my work PC just as every other day, and my photoshop had reverted to all of its origional workspace settings, and my 3D Axis has been missing ever since. Anyone recommend a solution? Simply going to View > Show > 3D Axis doesn't work...
Thanks,
LP

I tried both suggestions. Photoshop wont let you drag the 3D Axis out of the canvas, and I still couldnt see it but I found the problem. Somehow when all my preferences got reset, my "Enable OpenGL Drawing" was unchecked...thus, not allowing me to see it.
Thanks for the help!

I cloud wont let me sing in with my aplle ID beceause it does not have a @hotmail to it what do i do ???

Icloud won't let me sign in with my apple ID beceause it does not have @hotmail.com ! What do i do i just want my music back im tempted just to get the old version of ios and the old itunes it was so mush betor then this !

If you have one of the old Apple IDs which are just a username and not an email address you cannot use this to create an iCloud account.
You will need to go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - for this you will need a functioning non-Apple email address (GMail or Yahoo would be fine).
Then you can sign in with the new ID in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and create an iCloud account and an @icloud.com email address.
There is no problem about using this ID for iCloud and the old one for iTunes. The two are not related.

Align image with layers

Is there a step by step somewhere that will show a newbie how to align the contents of , say, 5 different but almost identical images of a tree which were taken without a tripod and probably having to use layers for the first time? have PSE 7, Many thanks.

I'm not sure how well this will work because it really depends on how similar the photos are.
You might try using the Difference blend mode to line up the trees.
Put Photos all in one file...either drag and drop or copy/paste.
Turn off visibility on all but the background layer and the one above it.
Change the blend mode of layer above the background (assuming it's the image with the tree) to Difference blend mode.
Use move tool to line up tree. When the tree aligns, it should be black.
After aligning the tree, change the blend mode back to Normal.
Repeat process for rest of images.

Problem with layers in saving logo as jpg

Hi- I created a logo in Illustrator and brought it into Photoshop. I wanted to save it as a .jpg in My Pictures to upload it to a website. But when I tried to change from the file extension psd to jpg, I got a dialogue box which says I'll have to save it as a copy. Under Save Options, there is a caution sign next to Layers. Under Color, it's checked next to the ICC Profile: US Web Coated (SWOP)v2. Also checked is Use lower case extension. When I save it as a jpg anyway and try to upload it to the site, it shows up as a box with an "X" in it. Can someone tell me what I've done incorrectly? Thanks!

OK, no problem. Here's the process I've been going through. I click Save
As. A dialogue box appears with "Save As" at the top. I save it in My
Pictures, as this is where I access images for this website. Under
"Format", I select .jpg. As soon as I do this, in the "Save Options"
section below, I see a yellow caution sign next to "layers" and at the
bottom a message appears which says, "File must be saved as a copy with
this selection". This is confusing, since I've gone through this process
before with other logos without having this problem. I'm wondering if it
has to do with the Illustrator file I originally brought into Photoshop.
Thanks for your help.

Save image with histogram clipping

I really like the way some of my images look when I set the histogram to show clipping. I'd like to save the images in that state (with the clipping showing: red for white, blue for black). Can anyone tell me how to do this? Many thanks in advance!

Take a screenshot if quality is not the first concern.
And reimport this in LR.
Otherwise Photoshop can do that, though you will need to mask the whites and the blacks and fill in the color by yourself.

Photoshop "won't let go" of image files

Just one example of a general issue: I'm in Windows (Vista) Explorer, in a folder filled with TIF files. I open one TIF file in Photoshop (CS3) ... do something to it, and resave. Then that image is CLOSED, so there's NOTHING open in Photoshop. Next, I try to rename (or move) that folder ... can't do it! Not until Photoshop is CLOSED. In other words, strictly in Windows terms, once a file has been saved AND CLOSED in Photoshop, the "path" to that file cannot be altered until Photoshop itself is closed.
There's gotta be a way around this, but I sure can't figure it out. Would be very grateful for anyone's help. Thanks!

Thanks, Chris, but I have only the slightest comprehension of what a "shell extension" is ... if your reply contains a solution to my situation, could you "dumb it down" just a little? And as I said to Curt ... if the best answer is, "Well, that's just the way it is ... it's a Windows problem," then presumably tens of thousands of people would be raisin' hell about this. Logically, there must be something else going on here.
