Saving .psp files as .jpg?

Hi! I am working on a blog banner on the 30day trial version. I have created a .psp file and need to save it as a .jpg file. How do I do this? The File>Save For Web & Devices option is grayed out. I have flattened the image, but that didn't help. I'm sure it's something simple, but I have no idea what to do next!
Thanks,
Cindy

Cindy,
Glad that you got it sorted, and thanks for reporting. It is likely to help someone else in time.
Good luck,
Hunt

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.

Saving a file in jpg max resolution (12) PH cc

Hi there,
Recently I've changed my laptop and re-installing Photoshop CC in its last version.
When I gonna save a file as JPG automatically it gives me back "8" like quality of image and not "12" . In the other Mac it gives me back all the times 12 and there's no problem to do mistakes saving a file.
Is there a change to do into sets-up ?
Mac user.
Cheers
Mattia

A workaround is to use File->Save As...->Change the file type to JPG->Save, a JPEG options window should come up, just move the slider to the far right, or type in 12 into the box to the right of the slider.

Photoshop CS2 Saving a file as .jpg

I recently installed Photoshop CS2 in my Windows 8.1 machine and now when I create an image in PHotoshop I don't have an option for saving the file as a .jpg in the drop down menu Can anyone help?

With CS2, you have to make sure the image is flattened, there are not paths, no extra channels, in RGB colorspace, and 8bit. The current versions of PS does this for you, but not CS2.
BTW, you said you just installed CS2, which is a very old program. I hope you have a license for it. See this thread:

Error saving psd file to jpg file HELP?

I have PS version 9.0.2 I can't save psd files to jpg all of the sudden...I live in Escondido, California and had to unplug everything when told to evacuate for the fires. Do I need to reinstall PS or ??? something about dumping preferences, how do I do that? Need a hero!

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.

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 -

Saved psd file as jpg by accident and closed photoshop.

hi, I have saved my logo as a jpg file instead of psd and closed photoshop, now I do not have any layers to edit my project. Please help me if this is possible to fix.

No, you only have what is in the JPEG. This is why you are forced to save a COPY when saving JPEG, so you still get a warning to save when you quit.

Can't save PSP file as a JPG

Every once in a while, I am unable to save a PSP file I am working on as a JPG. I am stuck on one right now after hours of work. I am on Windows Vista and CS4. After I flatten the layers, I click on "save as" and JPG is not one of the options listed. Usually there is a long list of file types to save as but every once in a while I only get this short list. I have to save it as a JPG for my end user.
Thanks for your help.

Bulldog,
Yep, that will do it, and it will also gray out some Filters too. As I do a lot of work in 16-bit and then have to output to several different formats, I began to rely on Actions, with a built-in Mode>8-bit, because I'd get in a hurry, and forget that part of it. Frustrating to have to Cancel out of everything, go back and convert the Mode, then start over. It just happens, and to many of us.
Good luck,

Help with add cover art by saving a file as preview.jpg

I need help. Im new to mac and have all my movie files on my external drive. I found out how to make an alias folder and it works great in Front Row. But when I look at the movie in Front Row. All I see is a blue folder. I read another post stating that it can be done and this is what I got,
Front Row in Leopard supports playing VIDEO_TS folders. You can also add cover art by saving a file as preview.jpg in the parent directory. The folder structure would be like the following.
/Users/fred/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/VIDEO_TS/
/Users/fred/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/preview.jpg
But how do I save it this way? Thanks guys and girls!

!!! But how do I save it this way? Thanks guys and girls!
That other post looks like one I wrote. I am note sure what you are stuck on, except perhaps you are not using VIDEO_TS folders.
The normal location for Front Row to look for movies is /Users/yourname/Movies in that movies folder you can put either movie files, or folders containing movie files, or aliases to folders containing movie files (which might via the alias be on another hard drive).
If you are using video files e.g. an AVI, or MPG, or MOV then these normally should be added in to iTunes and Front Row can access them via the iTunes library. iTunes will then let you set a 'poster' frame for the movie.
If the movie is a full VIDEO_TS (i.e. a copy of a DVD) then you cannot add these to iTunes and you cannot set a poster frame. Therefore Front Row which in Leopard now supports playing VIDEO_TS folders has provided another mechanism to provide a poster for each VIDEO_TS movie, which is the previously mentioned preview.jpg file.
This literally is just a standard JPG file, I get most of mine from Amazon.com to match the DVD covers, but some people prefer using movie posters rather than DVD covers, and in that case you could try getting a suitable JPG from http://www.impawards.com/
So, in /Users/yourname/Movies you would either create a folder for each movie (VIDEO_TS) like the following
/Users/yourname/Movies/The Day the Earth Stood Still/
/Users/yourname/Movies/Soylent Green/
/Users/yourname/Movies/Forbidden Planet/
or you would put an alias in Movies to a folder on another drive containing individual folders for each movie, I will use italics to represent an alias
/Users/yourname/Movies/MovieDrive/
MovieDrive would then contain folders for each movie
/MovieDrive/The Day the Earth Stood Still/
/MovieDrive/Soylent Green/
/MovieDrive/Forbidden Planet/
Each movie folder e.g. "The Day the Earth Stood Still" would contain firstly a JPG file called "preview.jpg" which would be your poster or DVD cover image, and also the VIDEO_TS folder which is a copy of the DVD.
/MovieDrive/The Day the Earth Stood Still/preview.jpg
/MovieDrive/The Day the Earth Stood Still/VIDEO_TS/
/MovieDrive/Soylent Green/preview.jpg
/MovieDrive/Soylent Green/VIDEO_TS/
/MovieDrive/Forbidden Planet/preview.jpg
/MovieDrive/Forbidden Planet/VIDEO_TS/
Note: VIDEO_TS is the standard folder name used on DVDs and you have to keep that name so that Front Row know it is from a DVD and therefore how to play it, however in order to let Front Row list them under individual names you put the VIDEO_TS folder inside a folder which would be the Movie name, as shown above.
In Front Row you would select "Movies" this lists the contents of
/Users/yourname/Movies
If you have put an alias in Movies it would list this as a folder which in Front Row you would select. Front Row would then list all the movie folders you have created and it would automatically see the preview.jpg files and VIDEO_TS folders in each movie folder you have created. Front Row would then know to display as a poster the preview.jpg when you highlight each movie folder.

In CS5, saving a tiff, the jpg compression is greyed out, why? No layers. It's RGB, 8 bit file.

How to set jpeg resolution when saving pdf file as jpeg

I'm running Acrobat using interprocess api, I can invoke a script to save a pdf file as JPEG, but I need to be able to set the resolution of the saved jpeg file.
Any clues as to how I can do that ?

Hi
I am running a stand-alone version of Framemaket 10.I try to convert a documentation with a lot of screenshots in it. Regardless of the settings on the Reference pages of the first document of the book, Framemaker converts all graphic files to *.gif, and these are downsized so much that they become illegible. I would like to have them converted to JPG, with little resolution loss, so they are still readable.
I think Robohelp is too expensive…

When saving a File OS Is Creating Multiple Folders With The Same File Name

Not sure what I changed but, now when I save a any file (ppt. word, Keynote,Pages e.g.,) to the desktop or any other location the OS will also create multiple file folders with the same file name as the file I'm saving. Inside the folders are what appears to be files locating the saved files. What can I do to fix this problem?
I'm using the 10.7.2 version

It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.
Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
Please advise.
it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.

Saving a file as .eps gives user an ID 5000 error on a Mac

I have a friend that is having a hard time saving files as .eps in InDesign, Illistrator and PhotoShop when using a Mac. She is able to create the file and save it so she should have full ownership and read/write rights to the file. Yet when she opens the file, edits it and saves it again, she gets a pop-up stating "Cannot save the illustration. You do not have enough access privileges - ID 5000". The user is the owner of the file. How would she not have access privileges? When she saves the file as an .ai, pdf, or jpg, there is no problem. She also has no problem saving the file on a Windows PC. What could be the problem?
Software version : CS6
Device: iMac, 3.75 Ghz Intel Core Duo with 8 gigs RAM
OS: OS X 10.8 with all of the latest updates

No, using EPS is narrow minded as it is an old outdated file type which does not support transparency nor color management. That means you will loose information and quality eventually. There is no reason to save as EPS today.
I just love it when these "discussions" come around and the forum isn't busy. It is sort of like driving by a train wreck—cannot stop myself from taking a peek.
Look, there are reasons for exporting to EPS even in this day and age. Ever work with people in India? Not picking on India but that is where the greatest number of requests I get for providing EPS files. Being the dumb SOB that I am, after I get turned down when I ask if a PDF or an AI file would be a better format, I just give them what they want.
And besides. Want to stop having to tell people to stop exporting to EPS format? Open a request to Adobe and tell them to stop supporting that format for both import and export. Until such time that Adobe sees the wisdom of y'alls argument in dropping that file format for both import/export, why not attempt to throw a little help in with the adamant Stop message, eh?
As for the OP...try having the user save to their local drive and move it to the server. Not a great solution, but it usually works.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 .psp files conversion?

OK, here's my problem...A couple of weeks ago I went and deleted a few .PSD files I really needed, big mistake. I've been using different recovery programs and now I've been able to recover all my files (or so I thought) but it turns out what I've actually got are .PSP (Photoshop Preferences) versions of the files. I was able to see the thumbnails of the images which lead me to believe I could open them, but I can't. I'm not sure what these files actually are but they seem to be more than just a thumbnail. For example, the .PNG version of this image is 1.7MB (1,667072 bytes) at 4562 x 6589, the .PSP is 7.2MB (7,213,056 bytes). It's clear there is more to the .PSP file than just an image, just under 6MB more, the image has/had a big number of layers, probably 20-25 layers.
There are about 7 other files in the same position as this which are very important to me, it's important I can recover these files. Is there anyway I can somehow open these files to save as .PSD's, or can I convert them some how to the proper format? I figured this would be the best place to ask.
Thank you in advance.

There's some stuff here http://www.top4download.com/free-psd-corrupted/ that claims to be able to do it, but it's Windows.
If you can view them with Quicklook in OS X and expand them to full screen (or the original size) you might try a trial download of SnapzProX from ambrosia software and take a screen snap of the previewed file and keep it.
Here's where I beat the dead horse. Apple has had Time Machine since Leopard was introduced, and it has saved my butt more than once since I started using it.
If you make a living with photography or graphic design, and you'd like to continue making a living at it when things like system crashes, other people accessing your computer and files, and hardware failures are not within your sole control, Time Machine is a good way to make sure you don't lose hundreds or thousands of dollars and valuable clients when you can't find their work, which was inadvertently deleted.

Saving a file in Photoshop creates a new drive in LR - huh?

I am completely stumped on this.
When in LR2, I right click a raw file and have it edit it in photoshop cs3. The image opens in PS. Now when I save it, either just by closing and having it save it automatically, or if I specify where I want it to be saved (and I want it to be saved in the same folder as my raw files), it's creating another drive area in LR.
Please look at this image to see:
http://www.allizdog.com/temp/LR-OddFolderThing.jpg
You can see that I have my e: drive with all it's photo folders in it, and I have a folder selected that contains the file I edited. After I saved the file in PS, the second e: panel at the bottom appears and the PSD image file is in there, but it's not in the upper e: folder where I wanted it. Why is it creating this second thing?
So, if I syncronize the folder I was originally working in, the PSD will show up where I wanted to, but now I have this second e: thing that I now have to delete.
What's up with that?

This and other exporting to CS3 problems are discussed in depth in this thread:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5f883
but to answer your question--so far no one has reported a problem when deleting the 'ghost' folder.
