Authority to save photos in Photoshop

All of a sudden, in Photoshop, I can't save photos to certain places.  I get the message that I don't have that authority, and I should contact
the administrator for permission.  How to I correct this?  It is new since I installed a new printer and a new version of Norton Internet
Securities.  Please help.  Thanks.

Curt,
I agree that Norton would be a prime suspect. With active-scan anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-anything, one probably has to set Permissions, or the writing (and maybe even reading) a file, will be stopped.
Some of the newer anti-whatever programs, really mess with programs, that do a lot of reads/writes, like Premiere Pro, which creates a lot of working files, and then needs to read from them. Often the anti-whatever programs will just cause a time-out, as it insists on scanning all files, when written, and then scanning them again, before it allows a read from that file. I would anticipate that similar is happening with PS, especially during a write (Save/Save_As) operation.
For that reason, most people using Premiere Pro turn all such programs OFF, when involved in an editing session. Of course, they should NOT have any Internet presence, during an editing session, as the "gates are down."

    How can I save photos that I have modified in Photoshop Elements to my computer hard drive folders?

    When finished editing click File->Save/Save As and you can either overwrite the original file or rename it and save as new file keeping original intact.

  • How can I set the default save format for photoshop edited photos?

    I just spotted that some of my photos that I've edited in Photoshop from Lightroom are a whopping 450MB. Looking deeper I found that they are saved as uncompressed TIFF files, this despite the default save format for Photoshop in Lightroom's preferences being set to ZIP compressed TIFF files. So why doesn't this setting work and how can I make Photoshop save things compressed?

    Sounds funny but first tell us what version of PS you have, what version of Lr and which OS. Thanks.

  • If I edit a photo in Photoshop Elements, I can't seem to re-import it back into Lightroom. If I open the relevant folder on my Mac the image is present, but Lightroom just doesn't "see" it at all.

    For some reason, my (Mac) Lightroom 5 won't recognise images in folders on my Mac that I've edited in either Photoshop Elements or Perfect Effects 8. If I've previously imported images from a specific folder, Lightroom will show these as greyed-out images (as normal) but will not show other images I've subsequently saved in that folder. Similarly, if I, say, select three images from Lightroom to use the Photomerge option in Elements, the subsequent saved image won't be recognised by Lightroom.
    I've tried moving locations, saving in umpteen different formats etc., but the problem persists. No problem importing existing images from either SD card or old folders on the computer.
    It's very frustrating!

    Ah-Ha! Right, think I've worked out the problem!
    When I save a photo from Photoshop, I often place it on the desktop with a view to e-mailing it or posting it somewhere on the internet. I've just looked at the file that was supposedly saved as a .psd, but under "properties" it has no file extension. So I added the .psd and bingo, up it popped in the LR import window! I've since gone into Photoshop preferences & ticked it to add a file extension. That's really odd - I've never deselected that option but, hey ho, mystery solved.
    Many thanks for your patience Mr Paige, I should have looked at this before. Put it down to advancing senility...

  • How can I edit a photo in Photoshop Elements and have the edit appear in Windows 7, My Pictures?

    In Windows XP Pro, any edit I made to a photo in Photoshop Elements 10 appeared automatically in that photo in My Pictures.   This does not happen in my new Windows 7 computer.  Can I change that and have the edit from PE10 appear in My Documents/My Pictures?

    When you finish editing choose:
    File >> Save As
    Then choose a file name and folder and save.

  • Using iphoto and editing multiple photos in photoshop

    I set iphoto to edit my photos in photoshop. I tried to edit a group of photos at once, and it'll only open the first 4 pictures. Is there a reason I can't open more than the first 4 photos that I have selected? Is there a setting in photoshop I need to change that is preventing me from opening more photos?
    Thanks!

    As Larry said that's a "limitation" of iPhoto. Report that to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. I think you can go back to iPhoto and select another 4 photos and open them in PS with the original 4 still open.
    For what it's worth:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I can't edit my photos in Photoshop CS5.

    I'm not able to edit my photos from iPhoto in Photoshop CS5. I've already tried the Preferences and chosen Photoshop as my editing program. I can't even drag and drop the photos into Photoshop.  I've even tried to email them to myself. No luck. All I can do is LOOK AT them in iPhoto! Help, I'm on a deadline!

    Are you able to open and edit a photo outside of iPhoto with CS5?  When you selected CS5 as the editor in iPhoto's preferences did you select the folder that holds CS5
    or did you select the application:
    Some have made the mistake of selecting the folder.  Be sure you haven't. 
    The following are tips on using Photoshop from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop CS3 (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
            (the PS screenshots are from CS3)
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

  • Importing into iPhoto, edited RAW photos from Photoshop CS3

    I edit all my photos in Photoshop CS3. Sometimes I just batch edit many of them. But when I import these edited images, iPhoto only shows them in unedited form. How do I import these edited images into iPhoto, and yet maintain the edits.
    I am a professional photographer, and the only reason I need to import these images into iPhoto, is that I use the web galleries as the viewing tool for my clients.
    Thanks.

    coxpix:
    When iPhoto imports a RAW file it creates a jpg version of it for display and editing with by iPhoto. Therefore, when you edit a RAW with CS3 you must import the new edited version, of whatever format you chose to save as, and use that one. It's the nature of the beast. All edits to RAW files when saved must be saved as a new file.
    For what it's worth, the following may be of some help in using CS3 with iPhoto:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory .
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back.

It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Saving photos in photoshop, not seen in LR

    When I export a photo into photoshop and make my changes, as I save as a tif, it isnt automatically updated in lightroom, so I constantly have to sync the folder.
    My previous versions of LR (before 5), this would update automatically and as I would return to LR, the new file would be there.
    How can I change this?

    When exporting, check "Add to this catalog".
    But perhaps it would be wiser not to export but to "Edit in Photoshop"?

  • Watermark Photos in Photoshop CS4??

    Is there a way I can batch Watermark photos in Photoshop CS4?? I have around 50 pictures that I take for my new photography business. I will send the company most of the pictures, but I want them all watermarked so they can not steal them. They will buy the ones they like.
    What is the best way to do this???? I am new to photoshop, so please be detailed. Thank you

    I have made available a package  on crafting Photoshop Actions that package I include a sample action set.  In that action set there is a sample action that will add three watermarks to any size image and be sized appropriately for that images pixel size.
    The action uses one Photoshop Scripts that can save and restore an images resolution so an action can use the script to save the images resolution it is then free to scale the images print size so that it can properly size thing like watermarks for the action can use the script again and the script will restore the image back to its original print resolution.  The sample action shows how to use a Custom shape layer a custom color logo layer and a text layer for watermarking images. Example
    The package can be downloaded from  http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/JJMacksCraftingActions.zip

  • How do I fix a photo in photoshop that I had to re size and now it is distorted?

    I had to re size a photo in photoshop cc for the lab.  It now is distorted and I don't know how to fix the problem.

    An fyi for the future, when you change the size of a picture, make sure it is done on a copy, as the original is the only one that can get you back to the beginning when that time comes to start over. When you do alter the size, you can save as a psd format, to make it easier to undo, since the some tools like the crop tool can hide the unwanted portions of an image instead of deleting them. You can also make a copy of the layer as a new layer and hide one of the two layers, then you will have a starting point assuming you save the file in a format that support layers like psd or tiff.
    Never save as a jpg for your own use, if possible. Use that format as a means to share to others as it does not support, layers, live type, transparency or objects. It is also a destructive format meaning each time you save, reopen, save again. The data is reduced by throwing out color information to a point where it is no longer a usable image if that process is repeated enough times.

  • Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Phtoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

    Hi. Migrated photos from Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 13. Lost all tags Any ideas?

    I'm not sure but it sounds a lot like the question I posed to the forum a little later today.  It may be that the newer versions of PSE are not compatible with transfering all the Categories, Sub Categories and Tags from versions up to PSE 10.  I am presently using PSE 10 because I couldn't figure out how to save all the organization I have put into Elements over the past 10 years or so.
    I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

  • Create HDR-Photo in Photoshop CS6

    The process of creating HDR-photo in Photoshop is not started when I send Canon Camera Raw photos (.CR) (3 pieces) by means of Bridge-function "tools / photoshop / create HDR pro" to photoshop; photoshop itsself
    open automatically - however, process is not started.

    What do you do after making the changes?  Either opening the edited RAW file, or clicking on  Done will create the sidecar (XMP) files which contain all of the information about your adjustments.  The next time you open that RAW file, it will look for an XMP file with the same file name, and use the information contained in it.
    If you delete the XMP files, it's back to square one! 
    You deleted them to save space?  A typical XMP file is probably less than 10kb, which is a tiny fraction of the size of the RAW file.  You need to rethink your strategy.

Maybe you are looking for
