Photoshop won't save as jpeg

All of a sudden my photoshop cs3 will not save a tiff (or psd or anything but jpeg) as a jpeg file. I can pull down to the jpeg, but it will not save it as a jpeg. the only way I can save it as a jpeg is to "Save for Web & Devices". But that's an extra step I really don't want to have to take.

XY Graph Won't save to JPEG when Black and White...and run from TestStand.

I am creating an XY graph and manipulating the colors of the plots, background, etc. I am saving this graph to JPEG using the Write JPEG File vi and after it is saved I import it inot a test report. This works fine in color, but when I create a B&W plot, it won't save to JPEG. Let me clarify: It won't save to JPEG when I run the VI from TestStand. It does save to JPEG when I run the VI as a stand alone application in LabVIEW.
Problem:
Run VI from LabVIEW ~ Saves the JPEG in both Color and B&W.
Run VI from TestStand ~ Saves the JPEG in Color, but does not save the JPEG in B&W.
Here is how I am making all the plots and background B&W in my code:
Change all Active Plots to Black using property node.
Change all Active Cursors to Black using property node.
Change the Plot BG colors (major/minor grids, etc) to lighter colors using property node.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

A few questions: What version of LV are you using? How are you getting the control image that you are sending to the JPG? Third what exactly happens when you try to save the B/W image under TestStand? Error?

Photoshop CC 2014 saves corrupted jpeg files!

I just cant understand this???
Photoshop CC 2014 saves corrupted jpeg files and some other file formats. PSD and PNG works.
I have try with the latest iMac and the latest Mac Book Pro, both with Mavericks and Yosemite. Im saving to their internal hard drives. I can not open the corrupted photos on any application.

Nobody else has had problems with the files saved by Photoshop.
Are you sure you aren't just saving the wrong file extension on a different file type (i.e.: a PSD file with .jpeg on the end still isn't a JPEG file)?

My images won't save as jpeg unless I go to Save As... what is happening to my images?

My images look great when edited in photoshop and when I got to close and save it won't give me the option to save as a jpeg so I have to go to File Save As and then save to jpeg. But when I go to order them in Roes they look drab and awful but the thumbnail looks great. Am I saving it wrong somehow?

Go to Image --> Mode and set image to 8 or 16 bit. If the image has 32 bit, it won't export through the save for web dialog.
Let me know if this fixes the issue.

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?

Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
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.

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

Keywords won't save to JPEG from LR3

I have an interesting problem I can't resolve. I imported some JPEGs into LR3 and added keywords, title and description to the first one. I then used Sync Metadata to add the same keywords to the second file. All shows normally in LR. I then edited the keywords a bit, changed the title and description, and then after selecting both, I saved metadata to file using the right-click menu.
The first image has all information saved to the file (I'm using both Prostockmaster and Irfanview to check), but nothing I do will make the metadata appear in the second image. I tried exporting to a new file name with no success, tried modifying the keywords again and saving to file, basically tried everything I can think of, but I cannot get the metadata into the file. If it was just one image, this wouldn't be a great problem, but it has happened to several that were handled similarly.
The JPEGs came from an export from LR from original Canon raw files (no keywords at that stage) if that makes a difference.
Any ideas?
Steve

Did you notice that you need to specify for each keyword, if it will be included on export? You do so in editing the keyword tag (right-click on a keyword, chosse edit..).
The keywords that won't save - how are they specified regarding export?
When you export from raw to jpeg, do you tick "minimize embedded metadata" in the export dialog ? When I do so, no keywords will be exported (neither EXIF info about lens and lighting etc.).
So you might give it a try to first check on the keyword tag properties, then exporting without the minimizing metadata tick.

Photoshop won't save

Hi, Ever since I updated photoshop - I've had creativ cloud for 6 months or so working fine - updated photoshop last Friday and now photoshop doesn't save when I hit Command+S. I lost all my work on Friday. I would finish a file, hit command+S and close the file. There was no prompt asking if I wanted to save my work when the file closed but when I went to open back up everything was reverted back to the last time I hit Save As. Same thing happening today. Anyone else have this problem? Very distressing. I use photoshop professionally and lost a full day of work because of this glitch. Using Save As for everything today but I'm really disturbed by this glitch. Also Save As is taking up a lot of space as I save often. Any help is appreciated.
-S

S_Platz,
I wouldn't say this is a bug since many users are not experiencing it. I would start looking at something on the system that might be taking they keyboard commands and Photoshop is not getting the keystroke by chance?
Perhaps you could start with creating a new administrator user on the computer and see if you are able to reproduce this issue with a new user.
Instructions for creating the new user are here: blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issu es.html#Permissions
If that fixes it, then it could be a preference issue or user permissions, or some of the other factors that DocPixel has recommended.
If you're still having trouble -- perhaps posting your PS system info would be of help to us.
Help > System Info
Copy and paste the information into a post here and we'll see if that offers some information that will help solve this.
Let us know how it goes,

Photoshop Project PSD Saves as JPEG & Won't Open

Hi All,
I have a project with a number of Layers in it, Photos, Graphics, Transparency Background, Lettering in Curves, etc. I saved the project as usual yesterday and when I went to open it today, it would not open. I created on a Win7 machine and later opened on a Mac which I do on a daily basic. I am using Photoshop CC. I can not recall the exact error, but it was getting an error mentioning a problem with Jpeg. I confirmed that my file was in fact now a Jpeg file. Research indicated that if I opened the file with the Apple Viewer and do a Save As PSD, the file would then be able to open by Photoshop and infact that did work. However, all my layers, history, etc. are all gone and the file is now flattened which will not work for me. I would like to know what caused this so I can avoid it next time as this has cost me a great deal of time now.
I thought as a last ditch effort, I would check my master files on my Win7 machine and they are Flattened Jpeg, no history or layers, etc. Something happened at save time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Noel,
No, All I can figure is that I had taken a Jpeg file and used it as a starting point for my background as I was working through some issues. I already had several Layers built up and was swapping out my background. I know for fact that my layers and Workpaths were all in place when I did my final save and closed out for the day. I was working with a PSD file previously, but I am suspecting that when I did my save, Photoshop CC chose to default the Background Jpeg and saved the file as Jpeg all without prompting me with any warnings or queries. I rebuilt everything from scratch today to get the project done, but I saved the old files so I can figure out what happened so I can report a bug if possible. I definitely do not want this to happen to me again. I know it had nothing to do with moving the files to Mac. The problem happened on my Win7 machine with Photoshop CC.
Thank You,
Senior

Photoshop won't save Metadata from opened file!?

I have a somewhat strange workflow when it comes to using Lightroom so I'll try to explain it in order to make this as easy to understand.
I use Image Ingester to import my images on to a computer and then I rate them and tag them in Bridge. I then use ACR to convert them to DNG files and place them in a new folder (buckets from the DAM book). After that they get imported in to the proper catalog in Lightroom. I then find the images that I want and export them as originals to a derivatives hard drive. I work on the images in Photoshop, save them as a PSD in a derivative 'bucket' and then re-import them to Lightroom so they can be exported in a batch. When I export them from Lightroom to the derivative hard drive as a DNG or Original (same thing in this case) it retains its metadata that has been added. But as soon as I save it in Photoshop as a PSD it loses its metadata. I don't understand why this is happening.
I hope there is an easy fix for this.
Cheers,
Matthew

Hi,
Did you solve your save problem? I am having the exact problem suddenly. Never happened before and now can't solve it. Did a repair permissions after upgrade to iphoto 06; but can't save anything to desktop after bringing any photo from iphoto to photoshop. The same error is coming up
"Could not complete your request because of a program error"
Folks at Photoshop said it is definately an iphoto permissions problem, not photoshop.
If you figured it out, I'd sure appreciate your solution.

Photoshop won't save/overwrite an image

This is with Photoshop CS5.1. It goes through the process as usual, I save it, it asks if I want to overwrite the prior one, I say yes -- but when I go to upload the new image -- it hasn't changed! This just started happening last couple days -- what is the problem here, anyone know, anyone deal with this before??
Very inconvenient!! Thanks!

I just came across this thread from a google search.
I have started to have this exact same issue recently. I think it may have started with the 10.8 server upgrade. I am seeing the issue from both a MacPro running 10.7 and a MacBook Air running 10.8. Both are runing CS5/PS 12.0.4. That has't changed in a while (both of these systems were working as normal with the same file server previously). What has changed is the server was recently upgraded to 10.8 (and now 10.8.1)--not sure if this is the issue because I can't pinpoint this issue starting exactly when this update occured.
The difficult thing about this problem is that it doesn't manifest on directories that were created prior to this issue starting for me. When I create a new directory, then I start having this issue (where I can't overwrite an existing file). This is a MAJOR PAIN IN THE BUTT because the once-awesome ability to click on the file you want to replace and have its name picked up in the Save for Web dialog and THEN OVERWRITE THE FILE is gone. What's worse, there is no fail notice, so you think it is working as before, but after checking mod date on the file it is clear it is not updating/overwriting.
I've done a check of file permisssions and even attempted to get permissions identical for all files in two dirs, one which allows overwrite and one which doesn't, to no avail.
I was having a sorta similar issue with Coda 2 saving/overwriting files to newer directories...also seems to have cropped up in same timeframe.
I will check the sys logs on my various systems and see if anything is getting logged...would love to get this issue fixed, its a major time waster to have to delete the file before writing a new one with same name.
UPDATE: nothing found in the logs, but I wasn't able to turn on AFP access logging on the server by following apple's instructions. After some further testing, I am seeing the modification date of the directory where the target overwrite file is gets updated, but the file is not written.

Photoshop CS2 won't save files in JPEG format

I have Windows Vista and am using Photoshop CS2 Version 9.
Until today everything was working fine, but there are two problems.
1. Only today I have a limited amount of formats to save a .PSD file in:
PSD, CIN, PDF, RAW, PNG, and TIFF.
Whereas if I want to save a JPEG file per say as another format, I get the full list to choose from.
2. If I choose a layer on an image, not all the filters show up that I can run it through. The 'Artistic, Brush Strokes, Pixelate, Sketch, and Stylize' are not clickable.
Thank you.

You slipped into 16 bit mode. Try going back to 8 bit.

QT won't save movies, exported jpegs won't open.

I am running the latest version of QT pro on my PC, windows XP. When editing a movie clip, I can edit to my heart's content, but when I go to save it, QT won't save it. It acts like it saves, but it doesn't.
Also, when I export a movie to picture, the resulting image is useless. Photohop can't open it. Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can't open it...nothing works. In Windows Picure and Fax viewer (for the jpeg), I get the error message, "No review available." In photoshop (for the jpeg), the error message is: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid jpeg marker is found." When I try to open the pct file in Photoshop, it says," Could not complete your request beause the PICT file is too complex to open on this computer. Photoahop Windows supports raster PICT files only." I have a GIG of ram and the PICT file is only 65 KB. I have tried using various joeg settings, exporting as a PNG file... nothing works. What's up?
I bought Quicktime speciically for these two functions, and neither one of them works. I have Quicktime on a mac at home and it works fine.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Looks like the update has wreaked havoc (who uses that expression nowadays, anyway?) on your PRAM settings. You can try and reset them: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

Why won't my trial of CC Photoshop let me save my PSD images as JPG or GIF?

Why won't my trial of CC Photoshop let me save my PSD images as JPG or GIF?

One thing to check is that your PSD is RGB/8 or /16, but not /32 (32 bits per channel)
If that is not the problem
Let's try this:
Close Adobe Photoshop if it is opened.
Find the following: (windows user can hit windows key + r, then in run cmd line type "%appdata%" to locate your "AppData\Roaming" directory)
\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Adobe Preferences CC Settings
Rename the "Adobe Preferences CC Settings" folder to "Adobe Preferences CC Settings_old" so that preferences settings can be recreated.
Reopen Photoshop CC and open a new or existing file to verify that your "save for web" option is back and not grayed out.

My adobe photoshop extended CS5 won't save as, what should i do?

my adobe photoshop extended CS5 won't save as, what should i do?

Ditto issue, netbook NB200 Toshiba, trying the higher resolution. It is inconceivable to me that a firm of Adobe's reputation would automatically shut-out a very large section of the market place!
Also, it is a surprise with the hundred's of thousands of programs out there in the world that work just fine on netbooks, that they would not Highlight this issue on the download/purchase page (not hidden in technical specs page); and would also not have an installer that "warns" the user of the deficiency in their system at the beginning - with a clear description of what will/won't work!; Especially when upgrading in good faith from a system upon which it does work:(
In this instance, I was able to adjust the Monitor resoltion to 780 vertical (thank goodness it's available on the NB200 system) - and yes it does work...
I would never had realized this if the google'd search did not come up with this forum. What would have happened if I was travelling without internet connection as a photographer/videographer - which is quite often.
Thanks to the forum for the answer/problem/issue!:)

CS4 Photoshop - saving on NAS storage - open file won't save without renaming it.

open file won't save without renaming it. If you try to save a file that you have adjusted in CS4 Photoshop on a networked drive, it won't save it. If you rename it, sure. If you are working on the local drive it is not a problem.
By the way, we have 2 users in house. Both on Mac systems and both are using CS4 Creative Suite. One Mac is OSX 10.6.8 - the other is Mac OSX 10.8.3. The older Mac system does not have a problem.
Is this a Mac operating system problem? would upgrading to CS6 solve the issue for our Mac OSX 10.8 ?
