You are in 32 bit per channel mode, so many of the normal save options are disabled.
Go to image/mode and click on 8 bpc and all the normal options (eg, JPGs, TIFs, etc.) will reappear.
At the intermediate 16 bpc setting, some of the normal options will reappear (eg, TIFs, but not JPGs).
HTH,

The conversion of a 32 bpc image to a lower bit depth image is discussed most frequently in the context of HDR (High Dynamic Range photography) and usually goes under the name of "tone mapping" or "HDR conversion".
There are lots of discussion of it on the web, but three that I spotted are:
1. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-tone-map-hdr-images-with-photoshop.html
- - - I suggest you use the first method illustrated (ie, "exposure and gamma")
2. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/high-dynamic-range.htm
- - - Scroll down to the section titled, "Using HDR tone mapping in Photoshop", and skim through the rest of the article.
3. http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/HDR_ps/hdr-ps.htm
- - - Scroll down to "Section 6". You might also take a quick look at section 7.
The info in these articles, particularly, the "exposure and gamma" option in the "HDR Conversion" dialog box is how you prevent the image from burning your retinas. ;-)
That being said, how did you wind up with a 32 bpc file in the first place, unless you were intentionally setting out to make HDR images? Was this the default output of some 3D rendering program?
