Has Adobe abandoned traditional .jpg?

I took a bunch of pictures today I wanted to post in an online forum. But Photoshop 25.0.0 insists on saving photos as JPEG 2000. The website I wanted to post it on, part of tapatalk.com, only wants good old .jpg. I had a frustrating session with Adobe's help, which had no answer and wanted $50. Do you have any thoughts? Many thanks, and Aloha from Honolulu.

@EConklin jpg is showing as an option for me with Photoshop version 26.3

"Adobe's help, which had no answer and wanted $50" Adobe do not charge for support, are you sure you were in contact with Adobe Support

Also, the most recent version of 25.xx is 25.12.1, so you're a good few versions behind

JPEG is a rather restrictive format, requiring: A flattened image (no floating layers), 8 bpc, no alpha channels. If the current file doesn’t meet this criteria, then one has to Save a Copy, or enable Legacy Save As in your File Handling Preferences/Settings.

 

If your file is in 32 bpc mode, then it needs to first be converted to 16 or 8 bpc before Save a Copy/Legacy Save As can list JPEG.

 

Note that Export As silently performs background conversions so that JPEG is always available without having to take extra steps.

Thanks to all who responded. A friend who is a heavy Photoshop user directed me to the link to save as .jpg, hidden in an option I hadn't found. I understand the modern forms are better in many respects, but some social media apps (BlueSky in this instance) really wanted a .jpg.

The reason that you were only seeing JPEG2000 was likely that you had a 16 BPC file.

 

Standard JPEG only supports a flattened image (no floating layers), 8 BPC, no alpha channels. If the current file doesn’t meet this criteria, then one has to Save a Copy, or enable Legacy Save As in your File Handling Preferences/Settings.

 

Although JPEG2000 is better than JPEG, it never gained widespread adoption and acceptance by various industry bodies and consumer software developers, which was the key to it's success or failure.
