Randall,
I typically choose the ImageMagick format to write out to and then
you have to give it the proper extension in the file name.
ImageMagick uses filenames similar to Windows to determine the
appropriate type (they call them delegates).
What I would do is make sure your ImageMagick is working correctly.
Try converting a tiff with convert. If it is then try saving from the
File... Save... menu in the image window and choose the ImageMagick
pulldown and name the file with the .jpg extension. If this works,
then its just a simple case of looking at the WriteImage module.

I'm trying to figure out how to write a JPEG with DX (or if it's possible).
After rebuilding with CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include", DX configure and
build picks up ImageMagick.
A make and install gives me a WriteImage that still doesn't know about
format="jpg" or format="jpeg". Should it?
ERROR: WriteImage: Bad parameter: `jpg' is not a valid string for \
the file format
Using a trick from the mailing list, I tried:
format="Image Magick supported format"
Now dxexec dies with this message in the Message Window:
Wrong JPEG library version: library is 61, caller expects 62
child process 0 (110720) exited, status = 1
I suppose next I need to figure out where DX is grabbing libjpeg.a from so
I can override it and point it to a different version. So it looks like
it's possible to write a JPEG, but a little difficult to build in support
and to invoke.
Any tips? Am I doing this wrong?
Thanks,
Randy
