I take my photos in RAW and use a converter tool to convert the RAW into
a 16 bit TIFF file that opens in PhotoShop. From PS I can manipulate
the photo and make it just the way I want it. I'm unable to save it as a
JPG! I went into mode and changed it from 16 bits to 8 bits, still JPG
does not show up as an option when I go to "Save As" or Export.
What am I missing? I'm using PS CS.
Thanks |

I guess the mode is not in RGB but in LAB Color or so.
Make sure it is in RGB

Maybe I should have explained more.
Go Image/Mode and change it to RGB Color >> Stay informed about: TIFF to JPG conversion |

The OP clearly says "I went into mode and changed it from 16 bits to 8
bits, still JPG does not show up as an option"...

Thanks for you hep. I got it working now. I thought JPG was a lossy
way to save important images. I thought that tiff retained all the
information if I latter wanted to go back and modify the image. That is
why I use all that disk space. >> Stay informed about: TIFF to JPG conversion |

Confining your work to JPEG pretty much nails your work to the current
technology and makes it impossible to better display the work when high
resolution monitors with greater bit-depth become more common. >> Stay informed about: TIFF to JPG conversion |

This is something certainly to be kept in mind.
