Hey, something is really annoying me with Photoshop.. I don''t know how to fix it.. Everytime I create a new file and I try to save it, it only allows me to save it in some cheap formats ( .CIN, .PDF, .PSD, .RAW, .PNG, .TIF and 2-3 I never saw before ) If I want to make a tga, a gif, a bmp or a jpg, I have to open a file with one of those extensions and only then will I be able to save in the format I want.. So I always have to open a picture and edit it if I want to save it in the format I want.. Any idea how would it be possible to fix that? Thanks

Check what color mode you''re in. You should be working in RGB.

Heh, well, that''s not really what I meant by "cheap formats"

I just meant those are uncommon formats wich I don''t need and this is cheap..

And "Save for web" doesn''t give me the whole possible formats.. it only gives GIF, PNG, JPG and similar..

Anyway, the file format I really need is TGA

Targa (TGA) is in the list of file formats in the ''Save As'' dialog...

The problem is that it is not for me.

The only file formats I have in the Save As dialog are:
Photoshop
Cineon
Photoshop PDF
Photoshop RAW
PNG
TIFF

Um, could you please confirm for us that you''re creating new documents in RGB format? Other formats restrict the file types you can save to.
