    Jpeg only supports 8 bit depth.

    If you use Save As from a 16 bit file to jpeg it will be converted to 8 bit when saved.

    32 bit to 16bit/8bit conversion involves tone - mapping. So you need to convert from 32 bit to 16 bit or 8 bit as a separate step.

    I figured out that i was in 32 bit mode, when i changed to 16 bit, it showed up again. Why is that do you know?
