Hi Rexgirl hope I can help here. The screen shot should tell it all use file>Save as and just select your file type from the dropdown box. :O)

No, no, no, you got it wrong. I mean when I try to save pictures from the internet not in the photoshop. I mean trying to save pictures from someones website. But thanks for trying to help! I really appreciate it! :0)

Same thing applies when saving from a browser. Right click on image, Save Picture As: and look at the Save As Type:

you on AOL?

retrocity ( ) posted Sat, 14 December 2002 at 10:37 PM

Rex, when you installed Photoshop did you associate some of the "graphic types" (JPG, GIF, BMP, PSD, TIF...) to Photoshop? As Phily asked, are you using AOL? Mostly this problem occurs because of the browser and not necessarly PS, but rears up when certain file association are switched to PS. :) retrocity

rexgirl ( ) posted Sun, 15 December 2002 at 9:02 AM

No, no AOL. What do you mean associate?

retrocity ( ) posted Sun, 15 December 2002 at 9:52 AM

When you installed the software there is a prompt to "associate" certain graphic format to be open in Photoshop when you "double-click" them... good to hear about the AOL ;) :) retrocity

AOL has a default setting (see below)that you need to change. "Web Graphics tab lets you adjust how you view pictures you see on the Web. The default "Use Compressed Graphics" setting will work just fine for most people. This uses special AOL technology to compress the a Web site's images and transmit them to you faster. However, if you want to save any of the images you encounter and use them in desktop publishing or other graphics programs, you'll probably want to turn this off. Your browsing will be a little slower, but you'll get the graphics in a form compatible with other software" You need to click "never compress graphics". Your browser may have the same problem.

Retrocity, I did, didnt help either... :0(

Well, not sure if this will help, but... Sometimes, when I'm trying to save an image from a webpage, it's marked as a jpg, but can only be saved as a bitmap. What I've found is that this occurs when the jpg hasn't fully loaded, or stopped loading. Often, hitting the refresh button and trying again will allow me to save the image in its proper format. ~DM

antevark ( ) posted Sun, 15 December 2002 at 2:29 PM

or right-click on the image and click on "refresh image" or somthin like that...

retrocity ( ) posted Mon, 16 December 2002 at 12:27 PM

It may actually be a JPG when you "save as". Try and rename the file once it's on your drive. Does it happen ALL the time or is it INTERMITENT? I've had it "come and go" for me... :) retrocity
