For me in Photoshop CS6, I had JPEG available, but no PNG. The issue for me is that PNG format does not support the CMYK color mode. The solution was to change to the RGB color mode via:

Change the resolution when you create new photo.
Select pixels as units for height and width.

When you create a new image use this as a default. File → New with: 450 pixels, height: 450 pixels, resolution: 72 pixel/inch, color mode: RGB color 8 bit

i had the same problem..
nothing worked.. if plugins & version are fine
do this- (based on CS3 version)
on near right corner of Photoshop screen find a drop down that says 'workspace' - from it select "default work-space"

create a new file and try saving it

You file is probably too large. I had the same problem: the resolution was over 25000×30000. Reduce the file’s dimensions, then you can save in JPEG.

If you’re using a version of Photoshop earlier than CS6 and your document is 16-bit, or if it is in a color mode such as Lab or multichannel that isn’t supported in JPEG format, then JPEG won’t be offered as an option on save.


Image → Mode → RGB Color
Image → Mode → 8 Bits/Channel


Then Save As.

One of the much-welcomed features in CS6 (or maybe CS5 – I forget), was that 16-bit images could be saved directly to jpeg, with Photoshop doing the conversion to 8-bit on the fly, but that still means that if your document’s color space isn’t available in JPEG, then Photoshop won’t offer JPEG as an option when saving.
