You do not say what version of Photoshop you are using.

In CC, for help click the magnifying glass at the top right of the toolbar and enter what you are looking for help with

For the PDF issue - what is your image mode and bit depth (Check Image - Mode ) e.g. you will not see PDF as an option to save 32 bit images

I open a file in .gif format

I then resize it to a small pic to create a thumbnail

after I resize and do a "save as", the .jpg option is not available.

When you open the gif image, look at the menu Image >> Mode. If it's not RGB, set it to RGB before saving to jpeg.

Hi Bernard,

Thanks a lot for reaching out to us.

The information you provided is good enough for us to explain

I open a file in .gif format

after I resize and do a "save as", the .jpg option is not available.

You cannot save indexed-color and bitmap mode images in JPEG format. GIF is also indexed-color type format. Which is why you don't get an option to save GIF images as jpeg.

Note: Save and export images in Photoshop Elements would be helpful to you in understanding about file formats handling in PSE.

Thanks,

Arshla
