Saving an HDR image from Photoshop CS4 as JPEG?
I did my first bit of experimenting, not only on HDR, but also on waterfalls (long exposure).
Now I used Photoshop to put all the images together, but I only have a few options to save my photo. I would love to get this printed on Metallic paper, and I use ROES to order my prints through my printing company. When I open the folder, these HDR images (saved both as PSD and TIFF) do not show up as options to have printed. I tried saving it at a lower bit depth, hoping that I could open it in photoshop 7 and save it as a jpeg, but that turns the photo to a gray image.
The only solution that I have been able to come up with for now is to take a screen shot of the image and then paste it into a new image and save it as a jpeg. The downside to this is that it will only look good at a 4 x 6 size.
Does anyone know of a different way to save this so that I can get it printed (at larger sizes)? or a different program that I can use to make HDR images?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Here is the link for one of the images (I used the screenshot method to get this as a jpeg):

TIFF and PSD files are 16 bit channel, you will not be able to save these as JPEG until you have converted them to 8 bit channel...
When image is open go to..
Image > Mode > 8 Bit Channel
You can then save as JPEG.
Also consider looking at Photomatix Pro for HDR work.

Both the PSD and TIF format support a layered workfile but JPEG does not. If this is your issue, flatten the image first and then do a Save As and select the JPG extension. Depending on the color space your using, there could also be a problem. As long as your RGB or CMYK, you should be able to save the JPEG.

Try saving it with the new file extension first. THEN try to print. You might have to merge the layers or flatten the image for it to save. Another option would be to print to adobe pdf. Hope that helps.

Your documents may be 16 bit, and that is why you cannot save in other formats. Convert it to RGB 8-bit and try again.
