    Unable to save as JPEG

    on5lb Community Member

      Hello,

       

      Using PhotoShop CS4 Extended App, i decided to convert *.PNG files to *.JPG format, with the intention to watch this photos from my HDTV set.

       

      When i finished cropping to 1920x1080px, trying to save as a JPG format, i don't find it into the several format list proposed ?

       

      Can someone tel me what's happen and how to proceed to recover the JPG format into the list ?

       

      Regards,

      Jean

       

      PS:Yes, i can always use Illustrator CS4 to convert it, but why is PhotoShop created ?

          I think you need to be just a bit more specific...

           

          How, exactly, did you facilitate the conversion?  Did you use one of the provided scripts?  Create your own action? 

           

          Or did you just go through the File - Open and File - Save processes by hand?  If so, where did you tell Photoshop to save the file?  That's under YOUR control...

            What do you mean be more specific ?

             

            If you're realy an expert ... you don't need more explanation, or am i wrong ?

             

            Sorry for your time, i will find the solution by my self, as i usual do since decades !

              It could be your file is in 16 bit format and for jpeg you need 8 bit.  Click on Mode to find out.

                Hi Curt,

                 

                My thanks for your reply.

                You're right, i remembered i used DPP app from Canon to correct all photos, and they are indeed in 16bit format.

                 

                Best regards,

                Jean

                  Jean, I'm sorry; I guess you had made a few too many typos for me to understand what you wrote; on re-reading it in the context of the answer, it's now clear what you were asking.

                   

                  Just one additional thing:  This limitation has been removed in Photoshop CS5 and newer.  Even if you have a 16 bits/channel master document, File - Save As exposes the JPEG format without your having to change modes.

                    No problems Noel,

                     

                    But you gave me an interresting information about the CS5 version.

                     

                    I was intend to buy the latest master collection, but so far, i'm happy using CS4 suit.

                     

                    Will Adobe deliver CS6 soon ? (i will not be surprised !).

                     

                    Regards,

                    Jean

                      No one can give a date definitively, but most folks anticipate the CS6 release in mid 2012 as Adobe management has stated that they've moved to a 2 year major version release cycle, and Photoshop CS5 was released in April 2010.

                       

                      You should also know that they've announced a change to a new upgrade pricing strategy where a discount is provided only for one major version back.  Thus, upgrade pricing will not apply to your CS4.  Yeah, most folks think that sucks.

                        I can wait !

                        And yes, i recieved a mail concerning the upgrade, but as i said so far, the CS4 is doing the job i need.
