file conversion from .dng to 'jpg

I am using Photoshop 2023 on a new iMac and cannot save my .dng files as .jpg files. The option doesn't even show in the menu. Am I doing something wrong or is the format not supported anymore?

    All of these current save/export methods still offer JPEG:

    File > Save a Copy

    File > Export > Export As

    File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy)

    etc.

     

    If you are looking for JPEG in File > Save As, it was removed for various reasons. The way it works now (JPEG is available only if you save a copy or export) is now actually more consistent with how many other image editors and Mac applications work.

     

    If you want it to work the old way, you can restore JPEG to Save As by turning on the Enable Legacy Save As preference setting. But this may cause compatibility problems in the future, especially on a Mac, because one of the reasons it was removed is due to changes Apple made to macOS.

    It should also be noted that ACR has the ability to render JPEG files directly from within ACR, whether for single or multiple files in a batch – without having to actually open the images into Photoshop.
