My MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)) is about 9 months old and I guess I just never had an occasion to convert TIFF files into JPEGs, but I just tried it and apparently the “Save as” function isn’t being offered for it. Any clue why? I have some pictures I’d really love to put on my Facebook page, but I’m stymied. Any advice? ---

Try Export instead of Save As. ---
