So your using photoshop and you have an image in view..

try ctrl+alt+shift+s

Thatll bring up all sorts of options on the right..

Im confused, surely it lets you if you do save as

or save for web [winnor]

Another reson why you sometimes can't save as .bmp or .jpg is bacuse the image is in the wrong mode. To fix this, go to Image>mode and change it to rgb if its intended for the computer or cmyk if its intended for print.

Also sometimes you have to do save as copy. The Ctrl-Alt-Shift-S brings up the web export thing so you only get JPEG and GIF I think.

Just go to File > Save As and underneath the name of the file it will say type of file, click that and choose JPG or BMP

yeah sorry thats what i meant i can't do, it doesn't have the option to save as those when i do that. I found that it was because i was trying to save an image i opened up and adjusted and that some reason didn't let me save it as as a BMP or JPG but when i started a new image and copy and pasted it allowed me to do it then.

Surely you can read the manual which you received along with your authentic store-bought copy of Adobe Photoshop :confused:

The F1 key works pretty well also.

I, too, have a problem with those who don't understand the very basics of an application they purchased for £400. I could think of much better things to spend my money on.
