Question

Can't save as jpg

I have an action that saves tifs as jpgs to upload for my web site. In a folder of gyrfalcons, the one I chose stopped and gave a choice to save as PSD. I don't know what is different about this that won't save as jpg.  I looked and it has no extra layers or channels. So I tried saving as jpeg 2000 and it came out as jpf zero bytes and no thumbnail.  Then I tried saving as PSD, and then trying to save that as jpg, and it won't.  I tried some others in the folder and same problem.  I just can't figure what is different about these that I can't save thus.

If Johan's excellent answer doesnt resolve the issue, consider that in recent versions the Save, for JPG and similar, has been changed to Save a Copy. You can revert to the previous way in Photoshop preferences.

It's not, related to save a copy,  as the action works for almost everything else except in this folder.  I notice it and some others were taken with the Nikon D6.  Not sure if I tried jpegs from that before.

Perhaps your tiff file was 16 bits/color. Jpeg does not support that.
