.cr2 to jpg

Aaron Wilson

I have been able to do this in the past but for some reason I cant edit a cr2 file in photoshop cs2 and save it as a jpg. The option i'm getting are
1. photoshop .psd
2. cineon .cin
3. photoshop pdf
4. photoshop raw
5. ping .ping
6. tif

I use to have gif, jpg and so on. The only I did diffrent this time vs. the past is that I used adobe bridge to rename all the .cr2 files... could that have done it?:dunno

Are you in 8 bit or 16 bit?

He's in 16-bit. And that's why he can't save as jpg. When you finish working up your file, do this in CS2:

Image>Mode>8-bit

Tahnk You
OOFFF... didn't even think of that!! lol... Adobe bridge had changed them all to 16bit. I changed it to 8 and it worked fine!

You can also just convert it to 8bit on demand by going to "image - mode - 8bit" and then save. Jpg will then be an available option.

Anyone hear an echo?

I know you are but what am I...no wait, that doesn't make sense in this case. How about [SIZE=-1]Touché. No that doesn't work any better than when PC did it...

[/SIZE]Well smarty, I used quotes and dashes in my response, which makes it incrementally different than Andy's response (which I just now noticed).

Hey Andy, we need to come up with a sassy-pants award to hand out monthly!!!

That would be harsh.

Or direct.

I forget which.
