Saving RAW into jpg in CS2

[Raphy]

Here;s how i do things.

I import photos from camera into Lightroom. DO some basic developing/adjusting. Once i get an image i like and want to add a signature to it, I "export" or more like "edit in CS2 with lightroom changes"... This brings out Cs2 where I add my signature (a layer in CS2)... from them i can't export back into lightroom so i'm forced to save the RAW file i just manipulated..... BUT.... it won't let me save a a .jpg.... i can save as tiff, raw, and others...

What's the best way to get a jpg out of my manipulated raw file from Cs2 ? :scratch

THANKS ! :thumb

If you convert the mode of the pic to 8 bits, you can save it as a JPG in CS2.

OK i'll give that a shot... not sure how to convert it to 8 bits but i'll play around. Thanks for the info :thumb


EDIT: Looks like it's easy stuff... simply going to MODE and choosing 8-bit instead of 16.... thanks !

Not sure what you mean by "can't export back to Lightroom" and maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying. When you "edit in CS3 (at least) with lightroom changes", if you save whatever file you are working on in Photoshop (CS3 at least) it is automatically imported into Lightroom and stacked with the original raw file you were working on. At least on Vista with LR 1.3 and Photoshop CS3...

Now the info about .jpg remains the same.
