How to edit a PSD and then save the layer(s) as a jpg

WEB DESIGN

Hello all. Even though it is 2013, I am new to Photoshop, and am feeling my way around in the dark trying to get used to it. I do SEO for a local web designer, but am also doing some small web design edits for him on the side.

One thing he wants me to do is to change the text on an image and then replace it on the website. Changing the text was easy enough - I just uploaded the psd, selected the text button on the left and then made the necessary changes. Unfortunately, I am kind of stuck from here. How do I extract and save the layers I need and save them as a jpg? I found the jpg with the misspelling that is currently being used, so I know where it goes. I just have no clue how to save what I need to save so I can upload it to the required location.

Can anyone with Photoshop experience please walk me through the steps to do what is needed to narrow down the area and/or layers needed and convert them into 1 jpg? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Basicly click on File then down to save for web, save the file in whatever format you need.

That's if I understood correctly

All the best

  Or if you are after just select few layers you can hide all the layers you don't want and do as I said above

Thanks for your help James. It looks like the layers are bigger than the size of the jpg that is currently being used to show the text. There is also a text layer as well. What steps would you recommend to make sure it is the same size and to make sure that I have all necessary layers?

  You can go to Image-->Canvas size.
  Make it bigger and then select the crop tool to scale back to the required size

  Also, you can select which direction the canvas expands by using the little boxes on the window that pops up when you use the canvas size option. To crop it, you can use the crop tool, or as I prefer, you can just use the rectangular marquee tool and then click Image/crop. Let us know if you need more help.

  Ah ok, well nice to meet you Bryan. I was just talking with my neighbor last night and learned he's on the Warrior Forum as well. I forgot to ask him his user name though.
