photoshop file convert to jpeg

[rosco1971]

i have taken some photos in RAW and i ran them through photoshop....i am now trying to convert them to a jpeg to print them but photoshop does not give me the option to save it as a jpeg....it will only allow me to save as a tiff and a few others......what do i do to save it to a file that allows me to print it.....do i have to use the save for web option and use the highest setting quality....will that give me a good print?

JPEG does not support 16 bit. Convert to 8 bit and then you can save as JPEG.

Don't use save for web, use save as, after the conversion to 8 bit that Philip told you about. Use level 12. Make sure that the profile is assigned, and that your printer supports the profile - sRgb is the most common profile to use, or Adobe RGB if you have a competant print service.
