be ok

..
You can't go directly from RAW converter to JPEG. But you CAN choose to
convert the RAW image to 8 bit as you convert to .PSD format. From
there, do a Save As (jpeg) and select the amount of compression. You'll
still have the full file in both .PSD and RAW formats.

Kibo informs me that Dr. Rufus <phalmans@icqmail.nl> stated that:

You'll need to convert the image from 16 bits to 8 bits before PS will
allow you to save it as a JPEG. You can skip that step if you choose
"Save for Web" instead.
(I got caught the same way a number of times when I was laerning PS.
