I am using PSE 3 on a Windows XP machine & am making my first efforts at working with RAW files. Once I have made the desired adjustments and want to save the result in a more useable format, it seems that the options are limited. When I click on Save or Save As, it only offers TIFF, JPEG2000, PSD and, I think, PNG. I tried both TIFF & JPEG2000 and got 32MB files. It does not offer regular JPG format.

Since I don’t have a pro-quality photo printer, I plan to upload them for printing, but I need a JPG or TIF file that is less than 6MB. How do I accomplish this?

Thanks

Save your image in one of these formats [I’d use PSD]. The list is limited because your image is 16 bit. To make a regular JPEG [for example], change the mode of your image to 8 bit RGB and save as a copy.

Click on OK when you are finished editing your RAW settings. Your RAW screen will close and you will be returned to the editing workspace. Just x out of the image and don’t save it. In the organizer do this for each RAW file you want to edit. Then select all the RAW files using ctrl-click or shift-click and click on File,Export. Then export to a JPG or TIFF file. I always export to TIFF. Crop and does any further editing. Save that as a .PSD and export it once again to a .JPG for printing and then as a .JPG for web. Hope this helps.

John, another way of doing this is holding down Alt/Option and then the OK button becomes an Update button. Click it and you won’t have to x-out of the image (it never opens, it just saves your changes).

Sue,

Yep, use Alt+Click on Windows; use Option+Click on Mac to dismiss the dialog and update your settings. If that’s what you were asking.
