Can't save Photoshop edits...

If I open an iPhoto photo in an external editor, Photoshop CS3, I am unable to save the edited file back into iPhoto. I see a grayed-out iPhoto library instead--the photo appears in my Pictures folder but not in iPhoto. This happens with both RAW and JPEG original files and no matter whether I save as TIFF, JPEG, or PSD.
I'm using the latest updates of iPhoto, Photoshop, and OS X. I have rebuilt the database, trashed the prefs, and tried DiskWarrior, but no joy. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you send a file to PS from iPhoto and make modifications to the file and then save it, it will be saved back to iPhoto.
But if you make a new file, then iPhoto will not know about this new file. It has to be imported.
As No one can save changes to a RAW file, a new file must be created. This new file has to be imported.
So, you sent a RAW file to PS and are producing a jpeg out at the end. The jpeg is a new file and it will have to be imported.
So, to be clear, send a jpeg to PS, save it back to iPhoto, no problem. Similarly with TIFF's or any other supported file. But not with RAW. Why? Because if you edit a RAW file you cannot save it as a RAW file but in some other format. Once it's in another format, it's a new file. This is a characteristic of RAW files.

  • Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from

    Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from. Error "cannot save the document is read-only or is open by someone else" and then it prompts to save the document to another folder or change the name of the document.  This is not what I want to do! Using WIndows 7

    Hi JC_AUS,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. This can happen if the preview of the document is opened in preview pane in Windows Explorer.
    Kindly switch off the preview pane and then try the same.

  • How can I save an edited converted file?

    How can I save an edited converted (from PDF) file?

    Hi alisonr1825446,
    When you convert a PDF file to Word/Excel, it's automatically saved to your Acrobat.com online account. From there, you can download it to your desktop to edit it, and then save it. To download your file, log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. Select the file, and then click the Download link at the top of the file list. Your file will be downloaded to the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Photoshop cc - can't save after edits

    Simply cannot save an image, after editing.

    Ok, I think the key here is save as vs. save. What I am thinking is the original file is set to read only. Meaning you can not save over top of that file, but you can use save as and create a new file.
    In windows explorer locate the file you are opening, then right click on it and see if read only is enabled.

  • How can I save an edited movie scene to my computer?

    I have Premiere Elements 11. I have the original, full movie clip but I'd like to save an edited section so I can work on it in a different Elements file. I believe to transfer to a different file I need to first save it to my computer. How can I do that?
    Thanks!

    I would archive the project with the Premiere Elements 11 workspace's File Menu/Project Archiver using the Copy option (choice is Archive or Copy). In this way you are creating a folder with your project.prel assets which include copies of the media that went into that project.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WS09e4b3c48f3a79fc19b622510385d4355c-7d cb.html
    Typically that is done for the whole project. The urgent matter is keeping the media that went into the project.prel connected to it, lest you end up with the nasty missing media situation.
    You can selective export a portion of the Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive by using the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar to span just that segment and making sure that the export settings include "Share Work Area Bar Only".
    Another thought might be to make a copy of your project.prel which includes only the edited section, then use the Project Archiver on that.
    Please review and see if any of that works for you.
    More details to follow if necessary.
    Thanks.

  • Can't save photoshop documents in correct format?

    I can't save in any other formats than these:

    It gives me the options when I change the settings to either 8-bit, or 16-bit. But I can't get it to work for 32-Bit.

    This is what the manual says anyway.

  • Can't Save After Editing Waveform From Multitrack FCP Export

    I've exported a multitrack project to Soundtrack Pro from a sequence in Final Cut Pro. I chose destructive editing, which may have been a mistake. I've made extensive changes to the audio, in particular lots of noise reduction.
    Now when I try to save certain of the clips it shows it saving and then it gives me the not-too-descriptive message "The document "(filename)" could not be saved."
    I can save the project, no problem, but when I try to quit Soundtrack Pro, it tells me I have 4 Soundtrack Pro documents with unsaved changes.
    I've done "Save as" and "Save a copy as" on the clip and it will save it, but after the save, Sountrack Pro is still referencing the old file (which is also the file that shows up in the bin.)
    What am I doing wrong? Also, is there a way to tell SP that I've done a "save as" or "save copy as" and want that to be the audio referenced in the project? I'm leaving it running in hopes of finding a solution and not losing my changes. Help!
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   4 x 500 GB, 4 GB RAM, 2 x 30" Displays

    I made some progress on this. After doing a "save as" or "save a copy as" on the audio you're editing, you can go to the bin and control-click on the file you can't save to, pick "select all occurrences" and then control-click on the newly saved file and pick "replace selected clips."
    Also I don't know if this is helpful, but /var/log/system.log had a number of failures around the time I was trying to save:
    Aug 27 19:24:08 PowerStation kernel[0]: (76: coreservicesd)tfp: failed on 0:
    I used disk utility to compare my second, third and fourth drives with my system drive and noticed that journalling wasn't enabled on the non-system drives. I enabled them. I super doubt that made any difference other than on disk performance.

  • There is no 'Save as' option in the latest version of Pages '09... I can't save an edited document under a different name or in a different location.  Solution?

    Have a personal letterhead. Wrote a letter beneath it.  Can't save edited letterhead as new letter--'Save As' just isn't an option under File menu.  What happened to 'Save As'?

    You can achieve the same result with menu File>Duplicate though it's a slightly different process - this page explains in detail:
    http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/16334/os-x-lion-where-did-save-as-go/
    If you are regularly using a page with just a letterhead to add the text of a letter to you would do better to Save as Template and to the Templates folder. It will then be available from the Templates window you get when Pages opens, from where it will open as an 'Untitled' file which you can save in the normal way without risking messing up the template. Or you can just save it anywhere as a Template and then double-clicking it will have the same effect.

  • 10.3.1 Update - Can't save Contact edits

    Hi,
    I just updated my Z10 to the new update, and now when I try to edit any of my contacts and save the changes I get a message: "Enter a phone number or work email address" and it returns to the edit contact screen. Does anyone have a suggestion?
    I've tried entering new fields but get the same message. The Cancel button works, but then I can't save the modifications.

    I do not understand your description in the message dated 12 hours ago, that's why I am asking again.
    so, you took my link, and proceeded with the installation. at some point, since it is an Android app, you get a white big popup where you choose the permissions. Do you confirm that you had that white big popup ?

  • Can I save multiple edits of the same photo?

    I'd like to take one photo and edit it several different times and save a copy of each edit. Is this possible?

    *This response is for iPhoto 11 (v9). If you're using an earlier version, please post back and let us know. Troubleshooting steps are not the same for different versions. To find out which iPhoto you have: iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)*
    Duplicate the photo first. (Photos -> Duplicate). This means that you will have multiple copies of the master as well as the edited version.
    If you use versions like this often and wish to have only one master then you can do this with Aperture.

  • Can't Save Photoshop file on Network Server

    To start of with some specs, im running Mac OS 10.5.3 and CS1 on a Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5, however the issue also exists on a MacMini running the same OS and CS1. I connect to a server at work via afp and that is where we store all of our files. We are usually asked to work on the server and i do just that, however when trying to SAVE a file in photoshop i get an error message...
    Could not save "filename" because write access was not granted.
    When i try to save again after this error message, it brings me directly to Save As, if i save it as the same file name and replace 95% of the time it works just fine, the other 5% i get the error again and have to repeat the process until it works. Another solution is just saving it to my own desktop and dragging it over to the desired location, no problem there.
    I have checked permissions on the server multiple times and obviously it isn't an issue because i am able to simply drag files over and Save As without issue. Also this problem is exclusive to Photoshop CS, i have not had the same issues with GoLive and saving to the server.
    I was simply wondering if anyone else had encountered this and had a solution? Thanks in advance.

    you are not alone...

  • Can I save PS edits in an xmp file to be read by LR?

    The reason I ask this is I have hundreds of photos that were taken on a 5D with a scratched filter, so I am treating the marks as dust bunnies and getting rid of them in the same way, using spot healing and for the scratches, whtever the feature is called where you use the spot healing brush but you 'draw lines'.
    However I am one of the many who suffer appalling performance in Lightroom edits so after maybe 20 spot heals the computer slows down so much so as to be unusable. So I then send the file into PS/CS6 as the same doesn't happen there.
    I quickly fix all my spots and scratches and then I appear to only have the option of saving the file as a TIF back to LR.
    What I'd love to do is save the xmp file, and then have LR update the image given those xmp changes.
    Is this possible or do I have to continue to have the extra TIF file?

    Hmmm I can't replicate what I did now. The problem with using ACR is that the spot removal tool is just that, a spot. It doesn't allow the removal of scratches, which is the whole point of what I'm doing. If I hit 'Done' after healing a spot it does indeed write to the xmp file, but then I hvae to delete the preview and refresh in order to see the change. I could cope with that if the ACR spot removal was the same tool as in LR, where you can do scratches as well.
    Oh well, I'm halfway there so should be grateful for that. Cheers.

  • Can't save Photoshop file in Mavericks

    I am unable to save files in folders from Photoshop (CS6 or CC) with the new Mavericks operating system.  The only reason I was quick to upgrade was due to issues I had with the initial set-up of my new 27" iMac.  Now I'm not so sure it was the right move.  The only way around this problem is to save the file to the desktop and then drag it into the appropriate folder.

    Hi Eric,
    I am copying to Smb share folder not local disk. I can't see share in Disk utility.
    That disk is EXt3 formatted.

  • Can't save Photoshop Document

    Hello Im using Photoshop CS6 on Mac OSX, and I have stumbled across this problem where I cant save my document.
    Every time I try to save a file I get this window:
    "Could not save as “Untitled-1.psd” because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder."
    Things i've tried:
    Reinstalled Photoshop
    Repaired disk Permissions in disk utility
    change permissions in get info window to write and read
    remade my preferences in photoshop
    Please any help would be greatly appreciated I work with photoshop a lot and this is not allowing me to work as I cant save my files.

    Are you trying to save directly to your boot drive, or to an external HD?  If the latter, check that you have both Read AND Write permissions to that drive.
    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    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 (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    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,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
