I was wondering if anyone knew how to save a JPEG as an iregular shape and not a rectangle. You are able to create layers within the canvas as an iregular shape so why not be able ot have the canvas conform to that layer? Does anyone know how to do this or if it is even possible? Thanks

Can't be done. There are however many ways to fake it. What are you trying to accomplish?

Try creating a new file with a transparent background and pasting the .jpg into it. Erase the parts you want to give it the irregular shape and save it in a format that supports transparency such as .png, or .gif if you only use a few colors.

All pixel based graphics must be rectangular as they are composed of pixels in a grid. Some formats support transparency within that rectangle, but jpg does not.
What the purpose of your image? Are you printing, putting it on the web or what?

Art has one way. The other is to make the parts of the rectangle that you don't want to show the same color as the background it will sit on. (My way lets it stay jpg, his will work if your background is not a solid color.)

Odds are, the OP is posting to a web site and getting a white box from saving as Jpeg.
Andrew:
Try .gif or .png (see "save for web")
