Windows 10 PRO, Photoshop V23.21 (latest). I have a TIF file, IMAGE MODE RGB, 8 Bits/Channel, 6222 x 4104 pixels, 73.1MB file size. I can save this TIFF as a JPG, no problem. But if I first crop it and then try to SAVE AS a JPG, the only choices I get are PSD, PSB, PDF, PNG, TIFF and WEBP, but NO option for JPG. I have tried this with other TIFF files and same problem. I"v never had this problem in the past.

Hi @arbor123

Use File > Save a Copy (also available through Save As)

Or

You can revert to the previous behavior in Preferences > File Handling > File Saving Options (available in 22.4.2 and later):

Enable Legacy Save As
Do not append Copy to filename

In addition: when you crop, is "Delete Cropped Pixels" enabled or not? If you do not delete cropped pixels, then cropping converts the background layer to a pixel layer. JPEG does not support layers, so the JPEG option is not in Save As by default.
