Yes, open the image in Photoshop, ensure that all layers are flattened and >>Save As<< a jpeg with whatever level of compression you require.

To change a PSD to a JPEG, you go to FILE: Save As and scroll through the options on the bottom drop down box.

TRY save for web, select JPG high, use 2 up and you can see the compression and actual size of the image, it will auto fix the resolution for you.

and PS before tacit tells you unless you are going to use these for the web there is most likely no reason for saving as jpg. A better choice for flattened images may be TIFF.

Nah mate, all those JPG images on web are made by MS Paint =)

Ofc there is > Save for Web > JPG > there ya go!

Hi Group
Thanks for your helpful response, Having established that it can be done can I batch process the files to speed up the conversion? If so how should I go about it?
Cheers

See: "Actions". Save for Web can be a better way to produce JPEGs (especially if you don’t want them bloated with metadata).

Ok, if you want an automated process to convert psd to JPEG the best method I’ve found is this>

1. Go to File>Scripts>Image Processor
2. In the dialog box that appears select the folder where your images live.
3. Select the type of document you want to convert to PSD, JPG or TIFF
4. (This is great). If you want to resize your image check the option
Resize to fit and select the new document size.
5. When you’re done press Run and Photoshop will convert all your images in the formats you’ve specified.

Hope this helps,

….or if you want to have them printed by almost any on-line service or have them viewed by people who don’t have PS.

It IS NOT necessary to flatten the layers first. Simply go to File->Save As and choose JPEG as the format.

Glad you said this tacid. I would have questioned the
Flattening Supporters why they suggest it. I have seen
so many times people saying layers must be flattened
and never did it myself. Never saw any reason therefore.

ps.
‘ and choose JPEG as format’ you said?
not TIFF (!):-)))

I have to flatten before JPEG becomes an available format for saving images in PS 5.5. It’s grayed out, otherwise, in the list of formats when I choose Save As. Perhaps they’ve changed this in more recent versions of the program?

Happy computing,
Eric

In Photoshop 5.5, you do not need to flatten. Instead, you use the "Save a Copy" command. Save a Copy is right after Save As in the File menu. Save a Copy is the same thing as Save As, except that Save a Copy will automatically flatten, if it needs to, as it saves.

Hey, that’s some trick! I’ll check it out.
