I’m not sure I understand correctly, but if you are trying to save a file as a jpg over and over you are causing damage to that file. Each time it is being compressed and losing more information. While editing it should be saved as a psd (or tif) until all work is completed. Then, and only then, you save it as a jpg.
Have you added layers or channels to these files? If so, they can’t be saved as jpg until image is flattened and extra channels deleted.
Q
I am not saving the same JPG file. I am in the middle of updating myweb photo gallery so am working with a number of images.Below is a copy of the Photoshop help file that covers this.
"Saving and exporting images / Saving images
Save a file
You use the Save command to save changes to the current file or Save As to save a new version of the current file.
Save changes to the current file
Choose File > Save.
Save a file with a different name, location, or format
Choose File > Save As.
In the Save As dialog box, select saving options.
Click Save.
A dialog box appears for choosing options when saving in some image formats."
When I try to do a simple save based on the above help file statement, I should be able to open a file, make some changes and if I want the file to stay a JPG, I should be albe to click "save" and the file would close and no more dialog choices would pop up.In my case it is not doing that, it is making me manualy change from the default PSD to a JPG.

I just discovered somthing very important.I trying to trougleshoot and tried another file. opened new file tried a tff this time and did some work on it, went to Edit menu, selected "Save" and then noticed that the dialog box that opened was the
"Save As" dialog. there must be some real problems if I can’t get the "Save" to work right. There should not be anything to open, the save takes place and the file is closed.. I will have to call technical support.
I have noticed this too.
For my work it it a minor annoyance but I can imagine for some it is an extremely irritating "feature".

Doesn’t work like that here. Might I suggest resetting the preferences file. You’ll find details of "How To" in the FAQs.
if you open a file type that supports layers and you add a layer it will default to PSD. Tiffs support layers so it can save the data. Try Flattening your file before saving it should default to Jpg.
