So I was using Lightroom classic and everything was going great until yesterday. I downloaded my photos onto my hard drive to save room on my PC and then after editing the photos on that and saving them they went from exporting as .jpeg to .dng and for some reason pic-time and pixieset doesn't recognize the photos now that they're not .jpeg it says "file type not allowed" or "invalid file type" and Lightroom won't allow me to export them as .jpeg either. I'm at a loss and really need to download these photos plz help

"I downloaded my photos onto my hard drive to save room on my PC". That doesn't make sense if the Hard-drive is "on " your PC. Lr-Classic does not contain your images in the catalog- they must be stored somewhere on a connected hard-drive (internal or external).

"after editing the photos on that and saving them". Lightroom-Classic does not "Save" photos, but if you mean "Export" then-

"exporting as .jpeg to .dng". Set your export dialog for [Image Format] to 'JPG'

* Set your [Export Destination] to a folder that is NOT the same as the original JPG files to avoid over-writing your originals.
