then it wont let me save it as a Jpeg unless I save for web

Are you saying that when you open the converted JPEG file, do some work, and then try to save it the "Save As" option is grayed out and your only option is "Save for Web"?

it won't let you save as a jpeg again? That probably means you are in 16 bit mode and need to be in 8. Try that and save as a jpeg. Or it could mean you hvae multiple layers and you need to flatten it and then save as jpeg

save for web strips exif

Would it let you Save for Web if you're in 16 bit to begin with? The OP was also stating that they were working on the converted JPEG so I assumed 8 bit, but I guess they could have converted to 16 bit..... :confused:
