Can’t Save New Image as JPG

I am unable to save a newly created image as a jpg.

This happens when I use layers and cut and paste parts of other photos. I comptete and flatten the image, but when I try to save, PS only gives me a very small file options, PS formats, tiff, and I forget the rest. I can save the image as a tiff, open in ACDSee and have ACDSee save as a jpg. I can then open the jpg in PS and save as jpg with another file name.

I am using PS CS version 8.0. I never had any problems saving newly created images as jpgs with PS 4.1, and I do not think I am doing anything different, but PS CS will not let me save as a jpg.
What am I missing? I am sure something that should be obvious, but I just can’t see it.

Thanks,

Roger

If you only get these file formats, it means that you are working with a 16 bits/color file.

Johan is probably correct. Go to Image>Mode and if image is in 16 bit

to 8 bits and jpeg will become an option again.
