I was recently at a friends home helping her scan some pictures for a presentation. When I tried to save them, .jpg did not appear to be a supported file format. However, I was able to open exicting jpg files on her computer with photoshop.

Any suggestions on what we might be doing wrong?

Did you scan at 16 bit? You cannot save as jpg at this bit depth.

Make sure your images are *flattened* … can’t save layers in JPG format.

I would suggest using the save as for web, photoshop will then give you the option to save as a jpg or gif.

Another possible reason besides being mentioned already could be that you scanned black and white (two colors) mode. Make sure that the mode is RGB, not anything else.
