I scanned some photos wayback using PS6 and they were saved as tiff’s. I recently opened them in PS8 no problem but wanted to save them as jpg for web use.
I "saved as" xxx.jpg but when I went to open them error message came "not file type"
On looking at files they still had tiff extention. I could open them if I chose "open as" jpg, I always assumed that "saving as" created a new file and left the original
How can I get round this problem or is to late as it would appear the original file have be over-written.

I think when you do "save as", you can select explicitly the format instead of just type in the file name and extension.
