CC2014 - PSD Files get saved in awkward locations

Win7 x64, CC 2014.1.0 (Build 20140730.r.148 x64)
This one's weird and extremely annoying.
When I specify a folder where I want my PSD file to be saved, Photoshop seems to save it in one of the locations from which I have opened files previously (or locations I have saved to), but NOT the one I specified. When trying to open the files from the 'recent files' list, the list shows the correct location that I've chosen but it doesn't find them (because they are saved somewhere else) and prompts a 'file not found' error. This is happening all the time and it seems it just randomly chooses from the folders I have worked from. Doesn't seem to happen with other formats, but then again, I haven't tested this thoroughly.
I have all kinds of issues ranging from very bad performance to shortcuts loosing focus and now this. It seems Photoshop CC is one of the worst releases in a long time, and it's very frustrating.

While we're at it. In earlier versions, when you saved a file with 'save as...', it would automatically point to the location from which the file was opened. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore and you have to navigate to the same place manually, this is very tedious and slows down the workflow a lot if you have to open and save many files only for small changes.

Bulk save as psd file not saved with Maximize Compatibility selected in preference

I want to do a "bulk save as" for psd files that were not saved with Maximize File Compatibility selected in Preferences. I'm trying to import those files into LR5 but I get an error message. Or is there a work around for resolving this issue? I have both PS CS6 and PS CC. Also Bridge for both. I've just subscribed to LR5.

LR does not support Layers, PSD files may have layers so you may have a problem using LR to do what you want to do.
Set your Photoshop Preferences to always save with Max Compatibility.
Record a save action one step menu File>save.
Then use Adobe Bridge menu Edit>Find to find all your PSD files.
Then select all and use menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch and if your lucky and don't catch an Adobe Bug Photoshop will start and the Batch dialog will open, You can the set the Save Action Set and the Save Action all the PSD selected in the Bridge should open and saved.
I cancelled the search short here the search for all psd files could take a very long time and did not run the batch.
You will have a better chance not catching an Adobe bug if Photoshop is not up and running when you use the here. Bridge may try to start a different version of Photoshop then the one running when you use menu tools>Photoshop>Batch. Bridge CC was updated to start CC 2014 there is no bridge CC 2014.

Importing a .psd file - getting weird effects with drop shadows!! HELP!

Hi all,
I'm trying to import a psd file as my site and then animate each page.
I have each page set up as a different layer and am importing each page as a movie clip so i can animate each one separately.
The problem is that i have some images on each page that have drop shadows ( i have flattened these in photoshop so there is no longer the blending options layers attached). When flash imports all the layers it obviously has all of them visible at the same time initially.
When i then go through and separate each page to show at different points in the timeline, the images with drop shadows are now showing the image that was underneath it on import, instead of the drop shadow. Difficult to explain, but if you imagine a page with a square in the middle. That square has a drop shadow along two edges which is a slight shading. On a different page (on the layer underneath) there is just a big image of the sea (could be anything). When i import them, the page with the square is sitting directly on top of the page with the image of the sea. I separate these in the timeline so they show at different points, but when it's just the page with the square showing (the page with the sea isn't showing at this point), instead of the nice shading for the drop shadow, in it's place is the thin part of the image of the sea that was initially under the shading for the drop shadow....
Can anyone suggest what is happening and why, and how to quickly fix it in Flash. It took me AGES to import the whole site and all the pages, but now all the movieclips are completely useless because all the drop shadows are messed up with the images that were importing underneath them???!
I'm in a real rush here too, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

PSD files get destroyed

Hi, I'm using Aperture 2.1.2 for only a few days now, and Photoshop CS4. When I bought Aperture, it said that it was able to handle PSD files. Now, here's my problem:
1. I drag (or import, no difference) a PSD file (made with Photoshop CS3) with all kinds of layers into a project.
2. Everything looks fine in Aperture.
3. I rightclick the image and use the "edit with" command, selecting Photoshop CS4.
4. The image is opened in Photoshop - and all layers are gone, and it's color inverted. As all the layers are gone (including the color correcting ones), I can't simply hit "invert colors".
So I tried to rescue at least some important pictures and dragged them out of the Aperture window onto my desktop. They are not PSD files anymore, but JPEG files - at the exact same resolution and much smaller dimensions than the original PSD.
Is there a solution to this?
Cheers,
Gero

Aperture never sends the original file to an external editor - instead, it makes flattened TIFF or PSD copy and sends that out instead.

I've no idea why the colours are inverted if it looks OK in Aperture, but you will lose all the layers automatically.

If you just drag an image out of the Aperture window all you'll get will be a 'Preview' - a JPEG copy of the file. To get the original file out try Export>Export Master...
Is there a solution to this?
If you want to edit you original PSD in Photoshop, you'll need to use referenced Masters (read the fine manual, one of the Aperture books or do a search). You will then be able to right-click, choose 'Reveaql in Finder', open the file in Photoshop and edit it. After you save the file (not save as, but a regular save) you should see it's thumbnail in Aperture update.
Ian
P.S. At all times, if you want to work with layered files in Aperture you need to make sure that Photoshop is set to save a composite preview in it's files, or you won't see the image accurately in Aperture.

When working with quick selection tool (and not only) the whole psd file gets damaged.

Hello there,
Since I first tried Photoshop CS6 on PC I encounter the following problem: when I use quick selection tool at some point the selection gets completely random and I see parts of my artwork disapear. Even after closing the file without saving the changes I see the artwork completely corrupted, without any possibility to recover. As if parts of the image were deleted.
The problem persisted after I changed to Creative Cloud on Mac (I'm running OS X 10.8.5.)
I have just seen that it also happens when I work with regular layer masks.
I desperately need to fix this problem because I cannot keep using hours of retouching work again and again.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers
Julia

I am also having the same exact issue. This is the third time this has happened in about six months. I use the quick selection tool and I see a alpha mask that looks truncated and it show random parts of the image in the mask which has nothing to do with the selection. But the worst part of this is that my retouching layer the only other layer comes back completely empty even if I try to save the file in various other file types like tiff and it comes back empty. I'm losing a lot of retouching time here. I also hope some else has an answer.
Thanks
Mike

My Save As files are saving to different locations.

Since moving from CS3 to CS5 my files don't save to the same location they were opened from. If I have a file open and I Save As or Export, it will save the file in the location of the last item saved.
How do I change this so that no matter what is open that file's "Save As" or "Export" file will remain in the same location as the original file?
Thanks in advance.

If you're on a Mac, try out the great utility, "Default Folder" from St. Clair Software. It'll let you do all kinds of things with open/save dialogs, and I've used it for over a decade and don't know what I'd do without it. It's also VERY inexpensive, so well worth it.
Cheers!

Layered PSD files getting corrupted when applying a gaussian blur.

A file is created then three layers to keep simple a red square is created using the marquee tool then filled with a colour this is repeated on the next layer with a different colour then the third layer is completely filled with another colour.
The first two layers are selected and scaled then made transparent.
Finally the layer in between layer 3 and layer 1 is selected and a gaussian blur is applied this is when the corruption occurs

After file is corrupted Photoshop has to be closed and re-opened because subsequent files that are opened are corrupted.
This has been reported in CS5 and CS5.5 extensively but not so much in CS6.

Below is the steps that where used to create the corruption in the files.
Gausian Blur corruption in Photoshop
Step 1. Create document with 3 layers + Background.
Step 2. Layer 3 - Create a box (Red)
Step 3. Layer 2 - Create a box (Blue)
Step 4. Layer 1 – Fill layer (Yellow)
Step 5. Select layer 3 & 2 & scale down & press
return
Step 6. Change opacity of layer 1 & 2 to 25%
Step 7. Go to layer 2 and select Gaussian Blur filter
Please Note that the blue & Red Box Have changed
colour.
As I Zoom in and out the corruption gets worse.
Sometimes this corruption dose’nt show up until you have
saved & reopened the file.

Where does my file get saved

I accidentally deleted my home page and saved the file yesterday. I have not published yet. I have a backup but I don't know where the file is save. I found the saved published file but not the unpublished file. Please help

Saving photoshop project as JPG the file gets saved in an un-recoginsed format, Can Anyone Help?

Hi Everyone,
I have been happily using photoshop for a couple of years and have never had to ask for help before but this issue is troubling me.
Basically I open a jpg file for editing in photoshop elements and then use "save as" to save my edited project as a jpg with a new filename in a local picture folder.
My new file however shows as
File Type: File
It will not open! the file wants me to associate a program to open it with and If I select photoshop to open the file I get a warning dialogue "Cannot open 2.5 3 Core TQ Rubber Flex because it is the wrong type of file"
This is the version of photoshop and my system info
Adobe Photoshop Elements Language Version: 10.0.0 (10.0 (20110831.m.17215))
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
Here is an example of one of these image files as seen on my pc
This has happend with several files that I have edited since mid morning today but before that I didnt seem to have a problem.
Hope someone can help with this. I did do some searches but couldn't find anyone else describing the same issue.
Thanks in anticipation,
Barney in the UK

Thankyou so much
You are absolutly right, all the files I have worked on today have been cables and I have been using their CSA size expressed in millimetres as part of the file name.
Have a great weekend,
Cheers

Can't open PSD files after saving them

I haven't ever had this issue before and now have had it twice in the last week or so. I scrap all the time and now after saving the file as a PSE, when I go to reopen from inside Photoshop Elements 7, it's telling me it can't be opened because it's not the right type of file. Any suggestions. I am using Vista but of course have been using the same computer with no problem up until now.

I figured it out myself. Both files I could not reopen were named for teachers. So they were Mrs. so & so. The period in the file name was causing it not to be saved correctly I suppose. When I restarted the Layout again and saved it, I saved it without the period and then no problem at all. Just wanted to let those reading know...

I've followed instructions but cannot save a PDF as a JPEG file. It appears like I'm saving the file but no file gets saved. Help!

My Acrobat Professional 7 will not save a PDF file as a JPEG. I have followed the instructions to the letter and it appears like all is fine, but when I go back to retrieve the file, nothing got saved. How do I fix this?

Hi ssiequ,
Which OS are you using?
Does this issue occur with other pdf's as well?
Is Acrobat 7 updated to the latest patch? Did you try repairing Acrobat from the 'Help' menu and check?
Was this working fine for you before?

Rave

Wow.. where do files get saved to???

Hi..
I just ran compressor via FCP export, and it launched the batch converter.. I selected DVD 90 min (high quality)..it launched the batch monitor, and did it's thing... But no where does it tell me where it saved the file to! I looked everywhere.. I can't find the file...
It didn't ask me.. it doesn't tell me... What's the deal!?
How do I find this information?
-patrick

Hey Patrick,
funny you should say this, but he exact same thing happened to me today!
where did i find the files?
on the root of my hard drive!
so basically on your desktop, whatever your hard drive is called, click on there and the files will be there!
i thought it would be in my render folder, but it saved it to the root of the hard drive!

Corrupt PSD files when saving from MacBook Pro

Hey all,
I have a 17" 2.33ghz MacBook Pro that I've had for over a year. Once in a while I use the notebook to do work in Photoshop and then save the PSD over the network to a hard drive in my PowerMac G5.
Then, when I go to open the file on the PowerMac later Photoshop says that it can not open the file because it's not a valid Photoshop Document.
Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening? I have confirmed that I haven't left the file open on the MBP when trying to access it from the other computer, so that's not the issue.

This issue is well documented and fixed in the OS 10.5.4 update released this week.

Do imported emails from pst files get saved to Exchange Server?

So I exported a user's email into a pst file and I'm importing all of them into his new email address. My question is whether these newly imported emails will be only available locally or will they be uploaded into the Exchange server (which is TWC's
hosted service) and therefore he'll be able to access them from his phone as well? If they are not uploaded, how would I go about to making these emails available on his phone through his new email address as well then?

Hi th0rax,
yes, if you imported mails from a PST file to the Exchange Mailbox you will be able to Access them from Outlook, OWA and ActiveSync where you habe Access to your Mailbox.
I suggest you should do that via new-mailboximportrequest (http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ff607310(v=exchg.150).aspx) if it is a big PST file and maybe a longer
list of users.
You can also Import via Outlook but in that case you need to have that Outlook Client running until "All Folders are up to date" and the new Mailbox Content was replicated to your Servers Mailbox after the Import was done.
Regards,
Martin

Psd files are getting corrupted

Hi
I am using PSE11 on a Mac, and have experienced PSD files getting corrupted twice now. They are digital scrapbooking files, where I have started with a layered PSD file 'template' and personalised it (with lots of effort!). I save it and close it. Later I try and reopen it and it will not open. The Adobe Photoshop Elements dialog box says 'Reading Photoshop Format' but it just gets stuck - the progress bar does not move beyond 1/3. This is really bothersome as last time it happened I had no option but to start over and redo the layout. Any ideas or suggestions as to why or how this might be happening? What could I do about it? I am reluctant to reinstall PSE, as I prefer version 11, have no disc, and last time it took many calls to Adobe to be directed to a place where I could download it (they kept telling me I would HAVE to buy the latest version.
Thanks, J

A little more info about the files and just how you're saving them would help, as would info about your version of PSE. What color space are the files? Have you reset your PSE preferences?
