Photoshop Save As?

Lmandrake · Post by **Lmandrake** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 12:24 am

I have photoshop LE 5.0 I got with a maxtor drive. Whenever I manipulate a jpg image in it, or create a new one from the clipboard with it, I can only save the file as a photoshop document, which is some useless proprietary format... I can save it as a TIFF and then convert it to a jpg, but who needs that.

Is there some setting or something I have overlooked that I can change?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with the LE version, but the full version lets you save it in any format. Seems like LE should also.

You don't have an option to "Save-As" a JPG? Is there an option to "Save for the web"?

I've run into that problem beofre too. I'm pretty sure it comes from when you use certain filters they only allow you to save in their format. Once you have your image the way you want it create a new image block and just cut and paste the image into a new one....did that make sense? oh well ....good luck

I know with older versions of Photoshop if you had projects with mulitple layers, you had to "flatten" them first. Photoshop 6.0 allows you to save in whatever format you want, without having to do this step.

I'm not using LE, but they should be about the same. Click "Layer" on the menu and then click "Flatten Image".

In Photoshop 5.5 I use the "Save As Copy" command. It seems to do the job.

It certainly has something to do with certain operations. If you don't do certain things, it doesn't make you save it in their format.

Anyway, I really appreciate the help. You guys are great.

I love PCA man (sniff)

Whenever you create a layer, it may want to default to their format so you don't lose the layer info. You should still be able to save it as any format though - especially if you flatten it.

You have to "SAve as Copy" and then in the drop down box select JPG. This is for Photoshop 4.0 and up. I'm not sure about LE? If it comes with ImageReady by chance, you can hit Ctrl+Alt+Shift and S, this will open ImageReady and you can save for web.

I've had the same problem. I think its the way the program was designed.
I ended up going to Fireworks. I think LE should stand for 'Lousy Functions Edition'
