Cannot Save Photo AS...

[picmax]

I am trying out the latest photo mechanic version 4.6 beta on Windows Vista Home Premium. It is very fast and I like that. However the big problem I have with it is that I cannot SAVE Photo As jpegs. I tried all kinds of Nikon NEF RAW photos on my computer. Every time I got the error message:

---------------------------
Photo Mechanic
---------------------------
The selected photo cannot
be saved at high resolution.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

It is useless if I cannot do Save As... Any reason why?

Thanks.

Did you uncheck the "Allow RAW previews to be used as source" checkbox?  It needs to be checked.

Are the NEFs you're working with from recent Nikon camera models?

Kirk, I can´t find this checkbox....

Kirk, I can´t find this checkbox....

Are you running 4.6 now?  Look for the checkbox labeled "Allow RAW previews to be used as source".  If you don't see it, take a screen shot and post it here.  You can use the "Additional Options..." link while you're creating your reply to upload your screenshot (JPEG please.)

Well, I have got it: The check box is in the Save As-Dialog. And when I point on the picture in the contact sheet und use a right click it doesn´t work. I first have to select the picture , than right mouseclick, context menue, save as...
