Hi All

Here's something I don't understand and would appreciate some advice on please.

I import images into Lightroom, then carry out some minor tweaks and edits, then decide that as I am not ready to fully export images for printing or web just yet, but I want to play with some things.... I right lick on the image in LR and select 'Edit in Photoshop'. This then creates a .tiff file, and opens the file in Photoshop for editing.

I make some amendments to this .tiff file in Photoshop, then select Save-As... and here's the confusion... I don't get the option to Save-As a jpg file... it's not in the list of file types.

Yes, I know I can select Save-for-web, but I don't want to do that just yet.

Any idea why save-as jpg is not available folks...?

is the image 16 bit? needs to be 8 bit before you can save as jpeg - just a guess I don't have LR

hehe...your quite right. I was exporting 16bit tiffs from photomatix into CS2 and couldn't save as jpegs, apart from "save for web", and luckily (before i pulled my hair out) realised they needed to be converted to 8bit first!
 
Now all I need to get sorted is this darned colour space thing. When I see images on the screen in Photoshop, they look way more vibrant than when I save-as jpg and display on the net somewhere.:shrug:
 
Before you save for web, etc. make sure you are converting the image to sRGB or just use that as your working space in the first place.
