Can't convert a psd to jpeg in cs6

Copied

I opened a jpeg image, it was all b&w and I used layers/curves to add color to certain parts of the pic. It saved as a psd automatically now I can't get it to convert so I can upload the image, I've looked up all kinds of things to try and it's not working. I'm not too advanced in photo shop so if anyone can help I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

use your adobe account and create an account at photoshop.com as a suggestion to be able to upload psd files.  have you tried to upload the jpeg2000 file?  when you create your photoshop.com account provide a link to the uploaded file in this forum .

You may have to Flatten the image first.  There's a menu command for that. 

Note:  I heard CS6 makes things like this easier than previous versions but I have yet to get my feet wet in the software version.

Make sure you select "save As" and then choose the file type you want to save it as.

CS6 will automatically flatten the image if you choose "Save As" and then select JPEG.

I tried flattening it first, it didn't work.

It's not letting choose SAVE AS now that it's already saved as a psd.


I went back and re edited it from it's orginal form as a jpeg and then flattened it, then I hit save, changed it to JPEG 2000 as it was the only jpeg option and now i can't open it at all.

I'm extrememly frustrated!

It's OK to append your post to an existing pertinent thread.  That's fine.

What's not kosher is creating a duplicate thread later, which creates the kind of confusion we have here now.

Why Photoshop will ensure the jpeg file is flat 8bit color or grayscale then revert the document back in time to before the save so the document will be in the same state it was in before the save.

Okay I've created an account at photoshop.com and I am currently uploading the PSD file. Keep in mind I'm new to the whole adding color to a black n white image lol so I'm sure the color could use lots of help but it's the best I could do at the time...of course now that I've re done it multiple times haha I'm sure the color on the new pic looks tons better    😕

No, Photoshop CS6 will convert 16 bit/channel RGB images to 8 bit for JPEG saving.

But no version will convert 32 bit/channel, or LAB color.

(and while CMYK JPEG works, it's usually not what you want - and browsers don't support it well)

That good to know So its needs to be RGB or Grayscale 16bit or 8bit  and 4 color CMYK is not a pretty sight..

yeah I just clicked on the edit button below the file and it said it would save a copy as JPEG so I downloaded that just now.

IDK how it's saying PSD but you're saying it's a JPEG cause it won't open on any program or site cause it says it's a PSD...I'm so confused but I am able to upload it now so that's all that matters...Thanks everyone for putting up with a beginner!

I bet you did have a PSD that you couldn't open because it lacked a proper ".psd" extension.  The Photoshop.com site was smart enough to know it was a Photoshop PSD and converted it to a JPEG for you.

Add the same ".psd" extension to your original PSD, and it will open in Photoshop for you.

the one ending in JPEG is the one I edited on photoshop.com it was origianally named the .psd file but when I clicked EDIT under it a box popped up and it said can't edit the file in that format, photoshop will make a copy of the pic as a jpeg so you can edit and save it. so that's what I did. And yes, you asked me to send a link to PSD file I couldn't convert to jPEG in cs6 and that's what I did. Those PSD files won't open anywhere but in cs6 and will not upload on FB and other sites like I was trying to do. IDK why you're insisting they are JPEG when every program on my computer says they are PSD.
