If you have been making layers in the image, you will have to save it as a psd, because that is the only format, that understand photoshop layers.

If the image is for the web, go to file/save for web, and you will get a jpg copy optimized for the web. Otherwise go to the layers menu and merge the image to one layer.

Hope that will help.

You really should keep the PSD file for later reediting, if needed and save the JPG as a copy.

If you’re using Image Ready, you need "Save Optimized As" – not "Save As" – to make a jpg.

Just a note, TIFF and PDF can preserve layers also.
