RAW to JPEG
Good afternoon all, happy New Year. I take pictures in RAW format and transfer them to my PC. Normally I just leave it at that as I do not use them anywhere else, however, I am starting a course and need to upload pics to the site as JPEGs. I have elements 10 installed and it uses Camera RAW to convert the files, but does not offer a JPEG option when saving the image. I am probably missing something here and was hoping someone could help?
If you have the image open in 'Elements'.....click on "File" in top LH corner, & click
on "Save as"; then when the image reopens look for "Format" under the window & click
on it. You'll see a choice of formats including RAW or JPEG....so just click on JPEGs
then "Save" & the image is recorded & saved as a JPEG........easy peasy !!.
Kaz's screen shot shows it clearly !!.

Quote:Jpeg is Jpeg !!.......perhaps the "Jpeg2000" refers to your version of 'Elements', as
in the year 2000 ??........I shouldn't worry about it !.
The differences between jpeg and jpeg2000 explained here.
Easy method to convert multiple images is to use XnConvert. Copy all images to prog select output format and destination click on convert button. All done , may have to rename.
But as the OP already has Elements it would seem to me that it is unnecessary to buy more software.
I've never used Elements but I'm intrigued by this notion that it doesn't support a simple "save as Jpg." option.
I'd have thought that that would be the first choice.

an alternative is to export as jpg...…is that an option for you?
also in adobe camera raw, you can save files without going back to elements,
I assume elements 10 has an older version of ACR however it has the similar functionality

As has been pointed out the problem is probably you have a 16 bit image. Elements will only offer 16 bit storage options. If you do as Fma7 says and convert the image to 8 bit and do save as JPEG 9s there amongst a myriad of other options. Or you can use the save for Web option but it will complain unless you make it a lowish resolution file.
Using ACR in Photoshop, there's an option to "open image" which erm, opens the image in Photoshop from where you can "save as" whatever you like.
Doesn't Elements do the same?
