Can't save because of program error

I had this problem a year ago, then I started using the computers at school, and forgot how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.
Here's the problem
I used Lightroom to make some edits, including the masking brush. When I opened in photoshop, finished editing and tried to save, It gave me the dreded, "Can not save because of program error"
I used to be able to fix this by going into some setting and deleting part of something. But for the life of me, I can't remember what or where. Is there anyone familiar with this that can help?

First thing to try is resetting the preferences by holding down
the Shft+Alt+Ctrl keys (windows) Cmd-Shift-Option  (mac)
as you start the pse 8 editor and then click yes in dialog.
Some more information might help such as which OS (windows or mac)
and how much ram you have and if this has worked before or never worked and
the format your trying to save your files in.

  • Can't save because of disc error

    I am using iMac G5 OS 10.3 PhotoShopCS Nikon D70 camera.
    When I download to iPhoto ( I have it set to open Photoshop) and open the image in PhotoShop I can not save my changes. It says "can't save because of disc error." I checked out the camera, memory cards, formatting, etc. and all is OK. I am assuming this is a Mac problem. Any ideas?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.7)   Photoshop CS Nikon D70 camera +SanDisk memory

    when I download photos from a card I use a card reader and image capture. I download to a new folder on the desktop, and then drag the folder to one of many aux hard drives. If I am going to work on the photos now I just leave the folder on the desk top until I finish with it. I look at iphoto as an unnecessary step and avoid using it. I keep all photos in aux hard drives to avoid using hard drive space.

  • "Could not complete the save command because of program error."

    Dear all,
    I am having problems saving jpegs on Photoshop CS3. I use windows XP professional. I am saving using the save menu (not save as). I am using a saving archive, where folders are within folders. I am trying to save images which have been copy and pasted from the web.
    The message I get is:
    “Could not complete the save command because of program error.”
    Has anyone got this message, and know how to solve it?
    Helen

    I think My Documents is a local folder.
    I would avoid saving to deeply buried folders because the path will be too long.
    If the problem still persists, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Photoshop CS2 Could not complete request because of program error

    My Photoshop CS2 stopped opening JPEG files from the Bridge. First it freezes and then say Not Responding. After that it brings Could no complete request because of program error. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling with no joy. I have also found out that i cannot open a file even directly from photoshop itself. I have not done any work for the past three days. Please help

    I know this is probably a little late for your issue, but for anyone else having trouble with this...
    I had this exact same problem, and my photo had also been previously worked on and saved as a jpg in CS4.
    I saved it as a psd and then opened it back up in CS4, where it saved as a jpg with no problems.
    So, it seems to be a problem with the different versions of photoshop. If you have access to CS4, that could solve your problem. Otherwise, have anyone sending you files from later versions save down to your version, and that might help.

  • Could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error

    I am using the pen tool to draw a shape and then select it to create a custom shape. I use path: edit - define custom shape = "could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error"
    The error message appears once I click the define button.

    Also, I solved this another way, seems to happen to me often. I click on the path panel, near layers panel and clicked on 'load path as a selection' (3rd icon on bottom from left), then click 'make work path from selection' (4th icon on bottom from left). Then you will see that the whole work area is part of the selection, including your desired shape/path. In order to change this, just select 'path selection' tool and highlight each corner and delete each point from each corner, then you are left with the desired selection to create a shape. I am self taught and this seem unorthodox, but it works.

  • I have cc2014 and I want to bridge to DAZ Studio .duf file.  In PS I choose File Automate DAZ Studio 3d bridge - get error message "could not complete DAZ Studio 3D Bridge command because of program error".  What's going on.

    I get error message when trying to open DAZ Studio 3D bridge in PS 2014 from the File and Automate Menu.
    Error reads "could not complete DAZ Studio 3D Bridge command because of program error?"
    According to User Documentation  I should get a dialog box which allows me to click on "Launch DAZ Studio"
    Why is there a problem?

    You have something messed in with your Photoshop or OS install.  You need to troubleshoot that first.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.
    A screen shot could be very helpful too.

  • I can´t set the control panel iCloud. PC writes this: you can not connect because the server error occurred. What´s matters?

    I can´t set the control panel iCloud. PC writes this: you can not connect because the server error occurred. What´s matters?

    Whenever I log into icloud.com
    Using what version of which browser?
    iCloud.com requires Safari 6 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later. Have you tried all of those?
    If you have, have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies?
    For the first tine since 1989 I'm thinking about buying a PC.
    You'd have exactly the same problems on an 8 year old PC too. It's a bit unreasonable to expect such an old Mac to continue to be compatible as software is constantly updated.
    Saying that, I'm still able to access iCloud.com successfully in Safari v5.0.6 on a PowerPC Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8, so the problem you're having is likely to be a browser issue, not something inherently wrong with the computer.
    Since all this crap started, Mail won't download my Mac.com or me.com email.
    The iCloud.com website is totally unconnected to Mail's ability to download email via IMAP. Have you checked the mail server settings are correctly setup and up-to-date?

  • Can not save because of a program error

    I am using leopard. I just upgraded to CS2, This is the error message I am getting. Not every time just sometimes. Which is bad if I am working for a client and I have put so much work into something I can't save.

    Doreen,
    Be aware that CS2 does have issues running on Mac OS X 10.5.x that will not be "fixed" by Adobe. You should be running CS3 on that OS.

  • Unable to save PDF's: 'Program Error'

    I have to save a file as a PDF with the [PDF/X-4:2008] preset, for offset printing, but i keep getting "Could not save as “filename.pdf” because of a program error."...
    it will save under the "high quality print" preset, and other formats, but not this preset.  i thought it may have been a corrupted layer or something because it was created from a downloaded template from the printing company, but i get the same error message when trying to save other simple files as a PDF.... 
    i'm running CS5.1 on OSX 10.9.2...
    I'm feeling a little jammed up, not sure how to proceed...
    any advice would be greatly appreciated. 
    thank you

    well, it looks like i figured it out, and i'll share the solution for anyone that is looking for the same thing.  all i did was reset the preferences by re starting photoshop while holding down Command, Option, Shift.  a prompt comes up and asks you if you want to delete preferences, say yes.  it worked!
