i need help on a simple thing in photoshop. i have a picture in bmp format and i open it in photoshop. after i manipulated it, added a few lighting effects i saved it as file name ambient in psd format. now i click save as again and changed the format drop down box to jpeg. When i click save, it tells me that ambient.psd already exists. wtf?? didn't i tell it to save as a jpg file? i wanted it to save the file as ambient.jpg not .psd. How can i go about doing this??

Does photoshop CS have the "save for web" option under file? In previous versions of PS, this is how to save any web-friendly format of pictures.
