I always save the photoshop file to the Adobe cloud and a Jpeg to my desktop. But sometime adobe wont let me do this. When I go to save an edited image within Photoshop only allows me to save a tiff file.

Sometimes if I go into Photoshop and delete old Photoshop files I be allowed to save a Jpeg to my desktop. But this time it is not working and I just deleted a ton of Photoshop work. Any ideas why this happens every 4 months or so??

Are you trying to save in 16 bit? Try checking you are in 8 bit mode and all should be ok.

You have saved in 2 different methods here. But on the bottom one, aren't you able to access the pull down menu?

Your top one is export as and your bottom one is save as... you are choosing 2 different things. In the bottom screenshot you should have other options from the drop down menu where it says tiff.
