| All right, I almost never use PSD files, but a few times I have, and I've had the same problem. For some reason, once I had a file saved as a PSD, it won't let me save it later as a JPEG, unless I save for web, which was okay in the past, but now I have a photo that I'm going to be printing large format, and need it in JPEG, but it won't let me. I'm on a mac with CS1. Any suggestions? |

| Try Merge Layers or Flatten Image. That should enable the Save As option. |

I didn't have any layers except the one, but I did actually add one, and then flatten it to see if it would work, but still didn't.
Edited to add: Thanks though!

| Are you sure PhotoShop didn't punch you out to ImageReady or open it in ImageReady to begin with? I know that in ImageReady you can not "Save" anything but a PSD. You must "Export" it as a JPG. |

| Make sure that the file is 8-bit and not 16 bit color depth. You cannot save as a jpeg if the file has a 16-bit color depth. |

Also make sure that the image is in RGB format before saving as a JPEG.

Thanks guys, but honestly, I don't really know what that means. I've never messed with anything like that before. The only difference is I saved it as a PSD (not sure why I did that) and then opened it today to finish up. So if one of those things are the problem, how do I access it to make sure?
This is a screenshot if it helps at all.

| It was the 16 bit/ 8 bit thing whatever that means. I don't know how it switched or what I did, but I saw it was on 16 bit, changed it to 8 bit, and it let me save. Thanks so much everyone for the help. |

It will however, after flatening and resizing the image (if it's full rez to begin with), let you Save for Web, which is a JPG format.

Glad it helped.
16 bit/8 bit is the depth of the color, for every primary color(RGB or else)in your image. Raw, PSD and other advanced formats allow you to keep x^2 more info for every color, which results in better images, but the files tend to be very large.

| I'm having the same trouble (unable to save my psd file as a jpeg file) but my file is 8 bit and RGB and fully flattened. Would love some help! |

Use the Save As Copy menu item -- it will flatten the image and save in whatever format you choose under a new name, while keeping the PSD files with its Layers and selections intact.
JPEG does not support either Layers or Selections (alpha channels). TIFF will support alpha channels -- if you want to flatten the image to do further work (such as sharpening) while incorporating edits-to-date, but still retaining any saved selections, save in TIFF format. When you are done, you can go to the Channels Palette and delete the selections and SaveAs JPEG, or just use SaveAsCopy as above.

If you are using adobe image ready and not photoshop...simply go to file-save optimized as - a window will open and you'll see the JPG file.

| If the image resolution is high then I guess the quality not so bad if you save it for web. |
