Photoshop: Tiff to Jpeg

I've noticed that after opening either a JPEG or TIFF file and performing various image adjustments that the file can only be saved as a TIFF or PSD (or other large document formats), but not a JPEG. Does anyone know why and is there a utility in CS3 that allows conversions of these types of TIFF or PSD files to JPEG within CS3.?

Ben:

 

You are probably using layers or editing in 16bit. You need to flatten the image and make sure it is in 8bit before you can save as a jpeg.

 

BTW, Jack Flesher at GetDPI has a series of photoshop actions that help in this regard. He has a few for converting to web sizes and these actions automatically do what is required to resize and save as a jpeg for the web. This includes, changing the colorspace to sRGB, flattening layers, changing to 8bit and resizing.

 

Support GetDPI.com with a action web converter. - The GetDPI Workshop Forums

Robert, thanks. That clears that up. BTW, are you aware of a set of tool that allows progressive blur? By that I mean A way to increase blur as a gradient?

 

I don't get that involved in Photoshop, mostly just curves and selective dodging and burning using curves and the lasso tool.

Ben,

Do your blur, add a Layer Mask and then do the gradient on the Layer mask.

 

A trick I learned recently is to use Free Transform on the gradient in the Layer mask and then you can really tweak things (Command/control T). But remember to hit Return to set the adjustment before moving on.

In order to publish pictures on the Net, I mainly use Gardwin printscreen http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/ while using Capture One.

A single key (Print Screen), plus a quick and easy crop with Photoshop or whatsoever. Gadwin is a nice freeware to make a 100 % quality copy of the monitor. You can choose the copy in different types of files (jpg, bmp...), it's very simple to fix any process of these copies.

I'm sure there are better methods, but here is one I sometimes use for progressive blurring around irregular shapes:

 

- Select the area you want to blur (invert the selection, if necessary)

- Create a curves layer of the selection

- Darken the curve as desired (I usually do about Input = 120)

- Apply a strong Gaussian blur to the curve layer, adjusting as desired (it basically progressively blurs the curve edges)

- If necessary, modify the opacity on the curves layer, and do some local removal with a soft-edged, low-opacity eraser

 

Here is a portrait example, with a light graduated blur.
