Hey guys.

I’m working on a project that won’t let me export as JPEG. Puzzled, I opened a new file with the same settings and it wouldn’t let me export as JPEG. I tried to save the new project blank and with a simple layer with a color on it and no dice. I opened a previous (older) project with similar settings and it would let me export as JPEG. I can’t figure out what gives. On top of that photoshop is running very slow. I have a great comp (4GB RAM, 750 HD with lots of space, never hooked up to the net, etc), but it suddenly acts funny with photoshop.

Any advice?

Current project specs:

Custom project
Size 4" x 4"
Res: 300 Pixels/inch
cmyk color
16 bit
transparent background
11.0M project size
color profile: U.S. web coated (swop) v2
Aspect ratio: square

no layers. no 16 bit? you can use save for web, that’ll allow you to export to jpg. or you can flatten and convert to 8 bit…

First duplicate image and convert the new file to 8bit then File -> Save As, then put a check in the box "As A Copy" in the Save Options lower down in the window.
Now when you click on the down arrow, for the extension, JPEG should be one of the choices. After saving a "copy" of your (flattens automatically) image, you can then save the original as a PSD with all your layers still active.
