Are you using an action you've downloaded specifically for Photoshop? The Preview Automator action (which is installed by default) won't convert from PSD. The action is designed to ignore unrecognized file formats, so it wouldn't have thrown an error to tell you this. Oddly enough, Automator is fully capable of converting PSD and a variety of other formats that the action's author must have been unaware of. Check out this recent thread on the subject:

You'd just have to swap out TGA for PSD.

Convert psd to jpeg

Dag,
Het omzetten van een groot PSD bestand naar een JPEG bestand gaat bij mij niet goed. Het bestand is zo'n 650mb groot, na omzetting blijft er maar zo'n 40mb en een wazige afbeelding over. Dit ondanks dat ik aangeef een maximale grote wil behouden (12). Heeft iemand een idee hoe het mogelijik is om van die 650mb psd een jpeg te maken van ongeveer 200-250mb?
Alvast hartelijk dank,
Johan

JPEG is a visually lossy compression and even at the best quality setting there will be artefacts. Your file will never become bigger, because the algorithm already is at its optimum. So far nothing is wrong here and even if it were technically possible, a larger file wouldn't necessarily mean better quality. If that's an issue, you simply need to use a different image format like a compressed TIFF to send your file out e.g. to a print facility.

How best to convert psd to jpeg?

I am using pse9, I resized photos with Perfect Resize and they are now in psd files. I copied them to a flash drive and tried to move them to a converter, but the converter does not recognize them.
Any help will be appreciated,
Lascar

If a single file, just do a save as or use Save for Web. For many files, if they're in organizer use File>Export in windows and choose jpg as the format. If not, or if you're on a mac, use File>Process Mulitple Files in the editor.

Problem with converting psd file to jpeg

I have completed a project with lots of layers and saved as a psd file including all the layers. I then flatten the image and save it as a jpeg. The jpeg doesnot look at all like the original psd.
this is the only file I have ever had that has done this. no other files are currently doing it. Just this one important days to complete file.
I work with Mac OS 10.6.8 Photoshop CS6 - Raw file to begin with. Never had this issue.
Anyone have any ideas.
I tried taking it into Cs5 and it did the same thing.

My dad took some maternity pictures of me, he took majority in B&W I wanted to make certain parts in color only so I watched a youtube tutorial to add color to a B&W he said to convert to a CMYK so I did, I continued to follow his instructions step by step. He just didn't mention that when it would save it would save as a PSD so I didn't even know abt that format until AFTER it happened. So I began to look up how to convert from PSD to JPEG...every forum I saw I tried what they suggested to no avail. I then went back to the original JPEG image, RE DID the edits, only this time when I went to save (as the SAVE AS feature truly isn't working, I can click it and click it, even use the shortcute keys...nothing happens) I scrolled down, chose the JPEG 2000 selection cause a forum said to chose JPEG when it pops up PSD, I didn't realize that it was different than a reg JPEG format and now it won't open even in cs6 it says NOT ENOUGH RAM and IDK why. So I've now gone yet again to the original JPEG, switched it to CMYK did all the edits again, I am now done editing, only this time I'm going to have someone tell me what to do next as it's still JPEG, 8bits chanel and I have NOT flattened it....what do I need to do next in order to insure it saves as a jpeg so I am able to upload it online?
I am not sure how to do screen shots or I would love to take them so someone can see exactly what I see. IDK if it matters but I am using the trial version of cs6, I was trying to get used to it some before I upgraded from cs5 extended.
If someone can instruct me as to how to post a link to the image so someone else could edit it then I'd be glad to do so.
I'm not an idiot...everyone started out a beginner at some point and I happen to be not as advanced as others...I see no fault in that, I am a 25 yr old woman who is busy as a working at home mom so forgive me if I can't invest a lot of time into learning a new program as quickly as I would like.
Thanks to anyone who can and is willing to help.

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files in Bridge, they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's so I can view and edit them?

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files with Bridge they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's or something I can view and edit?

You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

How do i convert raw to jpeg in aperture

How do I convert raw to jpeg in Aperture 3 ?

I find all this rather strange! I often convert RAW to Jpeg if I want to keep an image for reference but it doesn't merit or require the 8 to 10MB of the RAW file (on my computer, my external drive, or anywhere else). For example, I take photos of artefacts in museums, and I also photograph the labels/legends beside them, for reference. I can keep those solely as quite small Jpegs since I'm never going to want to print them.
(No, I don't want to switch settings on the camera while I do this - I'll only forget to switch back, and then have loads of low-res Jpegs that were meant to be glorious RAW).
In other software I've used, there's a batch convert that makes this very simple. Seems that in Aperture I'm obliged to export and then re-import. Not a big deal, but a slight pain in the arse all the same, and a little odd.
Anyway, thanks to the above posts, I now know how to do the export-import malarkey. I couldn't find it in the manual.
cheers,
Helen

How do I convert psd to jpg on an IMac using PS Elements?
If you are editing a single psd file in the editor, simply choose 'save as' and specify the jpg format in the save dialog.
If you want to batch convert many psd to jpg in the editor, use the 'File/process multiple files' command.
If you are in the organizer, use the export function and select the jpg format in the export dialog.

How to batch convert psd to png with layers

how to batch convert psd to png with layers
i want to convert lots of PSD files into PNGs WHILE RETAINING
LAYERS!
simply batching and choosing custom setting flattens the
thing.
how do i do that!??
and i KNOW it can be done somehow - because i have some old
png's i KNOW come from the same psd source. ironic, isn't it?
besides - feature wish for adobe developers:
A) batch conversion should include 300dpi to 72dpi and vise
versa.
B) batch conversion should include PSD to PNG and vice versa
- including layers and transparency.
C) RGB to CMYK option when converting from 72 dpi to 300dpi.
D) batch exporting should include PNG32 which it doesnt now -
but somehow DOES include the outdated and stupid gif-format.
E) i'd like the Actions feature of photoshop - makes batching
complicated procedures easly.
F) I'd like support for the brushes of photoshop
G) Better selecting tools for details like hair and fine
edges.
Important notes is that i as webdesigner often need to make
certain aspects of my clients graphics into print material. Also
that i use fireworks for picture editing.
Praise for the developers of fireworks
A) the compression facility of JPGs is AWESOME!
B) PNG as fileformat is likewise awesome - i end up using it
for almost all i do these days. Transparency and good file sizes. I
have used fireworks cs3 to convert all psd and tiff and ai files to
PNG.
C) the vectors and styles and method of selecting and editing
things in fireworks is FAR SUPERIOR to flash and photoshop!

PSD to JPEG - Converts back after closing.....

Trying to convert photo from .psd to .jpeg. I "flatten the layers" and "save as" jpeg......but as soon as i close out of image and then reopen it converts back to .psd???? Can anyone help?

Okay, so you are using some version of Photoshop Elements?
In PE Organizer find your file that you just saved and right-click on it. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of window that pops up and select "show properties." This will tell you what format it is. Also, when you "save as" make sure that you are including it in Organizer, otherwise you will not see it and will only find your .psd file. Alternatively, you could search for wherever it is saved on your hard drive and double-click it to open it.

When I import Nikon NEF photos from my D3S, it automatically converts them to jpeg. How can I fix this?

When I import RAW photos from my D3S, iPhoto automatically converts them to jpeg. I want to edit my images in a RAW format. I used to be able to save my images as a NEF in iPhoto and edit them in RAW on Photoshop. Can this be fixed, or do I have to find a new software to manage my RAW photos?

RAW files are just sensor dumps of the raw data and can't be viewed unless a jpeg version is created. The jpeg version of the photo is created by iPhoto for display purposes.
Make sure Photoshop is set as the external editor in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane and that RAW files are edited when using the external editor.
You do know that when editing a RAW photos with Photoshop from within iPhoto the edited version must be saved to the Desktop and imported into iPhoto as a new file.

How to convert .pngs to jpeg....

Hi bob, This is a feature that's available in PShop and i have used that many times, i want to take the images in Flash and convert them to jpeg, such as if i go to an image in the library and right click (Google what right clicking is you MAC users...ahem ) and i have options to update or hit properties. I want to update and take that .png file that's in the library and update with an.jpg file (one.png > one.jpeg) but now that im going into it more im thinking i have to redo it because what im asking defines some rules..

IPhoto 08 and Photoshop - suggestions on workflow and managing PSD files

Hi Everyone,
I'm a long-time Photoshop user, and a recent convert to Mac (BTW - I love my new Mac), therefore I am also new to iPhoto 08. I must say that I actually enjoy how iPhoto manages my pictures, as it is not all that different from how I've been managing my pics manually for years (by year, by event, etc.). I've read the various discussion topics on how to set up and use Photoshop as an external editor from iPhoto, and have not had any problems up to now.
I'm now looking for suggestions on workflow and managing my PSD files. I apologize if this is a little long, but I want to make sure I explain the problem clearly. Here's the scenario:
- From iPhoto, I choose to edit an existing JPEG file in the external editor, Photoshop.
- I perform my edits (including advanced edits with layers etc.)
- I do both a "Save As..." and a "Save". That way, I "Save" the flattened JPEG back to my iPhoto library properly, and "Save As..." a PSD file in case I want to do further edits on the image later (days, weeks, months later).
I'm looking for suggestions on where to put my PSDs. For now, I am saving the PSD to my desktop (using max compatibility), and then importing the PSD into my iPhoto library (into the same Event as the original JPEG). However, this leaves me with 2 copies of the same picture: 1 JPEG, and 1 PSD.
The problem is, I now want to go back and do more tweaks on the PSD, the end result of which will make the JPEG version out-of-date. I can either
1) Open both the PSD and JPEG versions at the same time, tweak the PSD, then copy and paste the flattened layers on top of the JPEG version and "Save"
2) Open only the PSD, tweak, and save a copy as a JPEG onto my desktop and re-import into iPhoto.
Although a little tedious, both options seem to work. Are there any other options? What do you suggest? I'm curious to see how others manage this.

I don't have a solution for you (sorry) but I'd like to comment because I'm in a similar boat. However instead of saving PSD files to the desktop, I've been advised to save these to TIFF format in Photoshop by a professioal photographer friend of mine (I think he feels its a more universal file format than PSD for archival purposes). The downside is the files are huge.
I imported high resolution jpegs into iPhoto. I then use Photoshop to edit and save the flattened jpeg version back to iPhoto (thankfully, keywords are preserved this way). I recently realized that I need to save a copy of the edited file in a lossless format like TIFF or PSD. Unfortunately when I save the file to TIFF and import it back into iPhoto, keywords are lost. This is a drag.
What I am trying to figure out is how I can retain my keyword info in the edited archival version. Any tips?
I'm beginning to question whether I should import my photos in to Photoshop (or PS Bridge) first, save the original for archival purposes, do the majority of editing and save a TIFF/PSD file and then import this file into iPhoto for keywording, further editing, downsizing, etc.
