Can't save image with Photoshop.

We do often have a issue where we can not save the open image in Photoshop CS 6. To this day the problem appears when the image contains Adjustments Layers with Layer Masks.
It does not matter if we try to save the image locally or on a network volume, we do only get a prompt telling us there is a Program Error. Trying to save as TIFF with layers instead of the preferred PSD format
does not make any difference also.
If we create a new image and copy all layers with masks and all the photoshop paths, this image can be saved and the original image can also be saved if we do a flattening prior to saving.
I do believe this is a bug in photoshop and has nothing to do with corrupted images or other computer related issues. We are working with Macintosh and experience this problem in both Mac OS 10.8.5 and 10.9.3

JPG compression does not support transparency, I think you
have to convert it to png of gif first.

HT4753 Can auto save work with Photoshop 5.0?

Can auto save work with Photoshop 5.0?
[email protected]

No. Autosave/Versions must be built into the app itself to use those OS features. It doesn't work just because it's part of the OS. None of the CS6 apps support it, either. The only Adobe apps that do are the latest versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. And that's only because the have to in order to be allowed in the App Store. In both cases, Adobe also gives users a preference to turn it off.
What Adobe did do in Photoshop CS6 is add an autosave feature of their own. It saves your work according to whatever time increment you choose. Then if the app crashes, it will try to reopen the saved data when you relaunch the app.

Bridge CS6 can't open image with Photoshop CS6

I installed Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6 with my Mac Pro with drive 1, which was cloned with drive 2 as a backup.
Now every time I try to open my RAW file in Bridge, it opens the file with the Photoshop with drive 2 instead of 1.
I have tried to eject the drive 2, but Bridge (with drive 1) fails to find the Photoshop in drive 1.
I have to force to open the Photoshop CS6 before Bridge in order to open the image, is there a way to sovle this problem?

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

If you are actually interested in trouble-shooting please read this (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for quicker answers"):

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far anyway? (Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point.)

You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Can't open CS2 image with photoshop

I had this camera, Canon 50d, for little more than two years.
Now it is time to start working with Raw image and can't open the image with Photoshop.
But I could open with EOS utility but want to work with Photoshop.
thanks for reading and advice pleae

Photoshop CS2 will never directly open a Canon EOS-50D raw file. The raw files from every camera are different and your camera was designed after the Photoshop CS2 Camera Raw application stopped receiving updates.
This list is pertinent:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
That said, there is a free solution that will allow you to open your images indirectly.
Download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388 (Mac)
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389 (PC)
Whenever you have a folder full of raw 50D images run the DNG Converter on the folder to convert all the files to DNG format. You will have to select the proper compatibility setting.
You can now open the DNG files with Photoshop CS2's Camera Raw converter.
Just as an aside, the Camera Raw converter from the latest version of Photoshop delivers images of higher quality, so you may want to consider moving up to Photoshop CS6. Unfortunately you will have to pay full price; there's no Photoshop CS2 -> CS6 upgrade discount.

Can't save image, error message ???

Hi, I'm trying to save a pdf image in photoshop, as I always do, hitting command S, or going to file-save. I keep getting an error message saying "could not save "x" file because the file is already in use or was left open". Well duh, of course it's in use, I'm working on it.
Anybody know what's going on here? Am I missing something?
Thanks!!
Eric

Thank you! I'll give it a try!

If does not I would reset the preferences or trash the settings folder.

Can't Download Images with Right-Click on Mouse

I can't download images by right-clicking my mouse, like I do on my PC. For example, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota and look at the images of the flag, state seal and map near the top right corner of the page...
When I place my cursor over any of these images on either my PC or my MacBook Pro, my cursor changes to a hand, indicating that the images are hyperlinked. If I right-click on an image, I can choose a SAVE AS command on my PC, but nothing happens on my MacBook Pro.
If I left-click on a linked image, it simply zooms in, rather than taking me to another page. I'm using a small Kensington mouse.
This could be a Firefox problem. I think I recall downloading some sort of extension that allows you to zoom in on images, and I suspect it's more or less taken over. If so, I'll have to track down the name of the extension and try and zap it.
But I thought I'd check here first, just to see if other people have this same problem - or if you can suggest alternate strategies for downloading images.
Thanks.

Well, I found a novel solution - it's called Safari.
I'll post on the Firefox forum to figure out why I
can't download images with it, but it seems to work
just fine with Apple's native browser. Thanks for all
the tips.
I just tried it, but I am using firefox 2.0 beta and I had no problems. Not sure what's going on. Have you tried any other pages or pics besides this one, which I don't think it would matter just wondering.

How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

I think it has something to do with the order in which the PSE and PS are installed on your machine.
For me, I can see option for editing in photoshop both in edit menu and from the action bar. I probably had Photoshop installed on my system before PSE

I can´t save images in .jpg with "Camera Raw" software from my Elements 6.0

I have Photoshop Elements 6.0, I bought it last year and untill now, it´s OK. Now I´m beginning working with .RAW files, but I can´t save them as .JPG after I modified them with the "camera Raw" software. I can only save pictures in .DNG. ¿Could someone please tell me how to save it as .JPG?
I consider this is a basical function wich, for example, Photoshop CS3 does.
Bye.

Thank you very much for your answers.
Daniel.

The Save button in the raw converter is the DNG converter. To save in any
standard image format, you must open the image in the editor, then save it
there.

Open an image with photoshop...I can't create another layer

hi,
So, just got aperture and am trying to figure it out.
I have managed to open an image with an external editor...in my case, photoshop elements 4...now, I would like to edit this image further.
Problem is that photoshop tells me that my image is 16 bit... and so I can't even create a new layer.
How do I fix this? Is this an export setting from aperture?
Please help!
Thanks!

I needed Aperture to retouch mass number of photos fast...then I so a little bit of this, a little bit of that in elements.
It works for me for now.
See ya!

Photoshop Elements 13 (Mac) Organizer - Can't save file with version sets.

I have spent many hours now trying to get Elements Organizer to save Version Sets when I've edited a photo. I've tried more or less every little thing you can find online without any luck. But just moments ago I found that if I move the file to my desktop everything works just fine. I then tried to edit files in a few other folders (also imported to my Organizer) and found that when ever the folder was named to something with a nordic letter in it (å, ä, ö) then I couldn't save my file with version sets (option greyed out) but if I moved that same file to another folder, well then everything worked as it's suposed to.
I'm using the trial version of PSE 13 for Mac (Yosemite) and the full version is ordered and on it's way. But if this problem can't be fixed, I need to return that order and buy some other photo editing program.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Is there perhaps a solution to this?
Please, any help is much appreciated!

I'm using the English version (as more or less always - Swedish is rarely an option). The thing is that I have never encountered this problem before in any other software I've been using, and certainly not in Aperture that I've been using up until now.
I name my photo folders with a date and a few words, for ex. "2014-12-31 New Years in Stockholm" (but I normally write in Swedish). I use this method so that my folder that contains the original photos will be easy to find in even without any other software than Finder (or Windows Explorer if I connect my external drive to a Windows machine). I could change the name of all of my folders, or at least all of the folders with a name containing one or more of the letters Å, Ä or Ö to "force" PSE to work as it should, but why? This really shouldn't be a problem.
I was hoping that their was a simple option or something like that that could fix this issue, but I guess not.
If this problem lies in the software itself I will have to return it and look elsewhere (but where? Lightroom is certainly not an option if Adobe can't handle "normal" letters and Aperture is discontinued in a few months).
Thank you for your reply!

Photoshop CC wont let me save image with layers as a png or jpg

I am a beginner and just got Ps last night. I have edited a photo and only put one effect on it, stroke. When i try and save the file as a png or jpg, or really anything other than a psd it tells me that it cannot save the layers the i used in that format. How can i save my edited picture as a png or jpg or convert a psd file to jpg or png?

If you want transparency for the web there are two choices PNG and GIF. Gif only supports 255 mapped colors when you want transparency and transparent pixels are empty 0% opacity. PNG supports full color and an Alpha channel for transparency partial transparency is supported. GIF file are very small.
There are also animated GIF file that browsers support. While you can create animated png file many browsers don't support them and some browsers like Chrome have an add-on that will support animated png files. Photoshop will save Animated GIF but has no support for animated PNG.
