Rendering format problem

[Taranis]

Greeting all here..

I have need of help in this.. When I render a picture and wish to save it say as jpg I have to tell it to be a jpg or whatever.. before I would simply give the name of say .. Taranis and I would pic the format and it will save as Taranis.jpg
but now I have to tell it to be a jpg.. :confused:

If I don't tell it to be jpg it saves as a "file" and no picture is seen even in thumbnail in my image folder.. to see the picture I need to use "Irfanview" and that tells me "Taranis" is a file with incorrect extension! Rename!..

so any ideas whats gone wrong here... It as I said worked before :confused:

I got a loan of Photoshop the other day just to see if i want to use it.. I delate the prog and I think thats when every thing went wrong I had some form of crash and here I am begging for help. :o

I have tried a number of things and no luck I simply don't understand what happened.. could I have removed files when I deleted the photo shop program that has effect Lightwave 8.3 .. I am also on windows XP.. If that any help..

I have noticed that when I RENDERING a picture and I see the Render status the "Output files" has "[none]" could that be the problem and if so how can

You need to turn on the save output files in the render option panel and then select what type of file you want it to save as.

Hi!
I got the same problem.
I think it came when I downloaded the tiff-plugin from flay.com
I tried to change the output-file to what I want it to, but it didn't work..

I hope someone else know how to do it

Are you trying to save a single image as a jpg? Because if you render that frame you should save it threw the rendered image preview panel File-save rgba-lwjpg. I am not sure if the image is saved when you use f9 to render that frame.

I've tried that, but it didnt work.. :thumbsdow

I had a problem like that when i installed a new codec. The funny thing was the fixes was to install another codec and for some reasone the first codec started working. You try this with a different image format plugin, any one will do.

I had the same problem, what I did was to reload my plugins and no it's ok.
