CS4 cannot save to jpeg

Suddenly I am unable to save .psd and .tif (maybe others) to .jpeg due to 'program error'. My 'solution' for the moment is to save the .psd using maximum compatibility, then import into Lightroom, then export from Lightroom as .jpeg (ugh!)
The .psd mode is 8-bit RGB. I have 155GB of space left on the HDD. I was able to save to .jpeg a few days ago, but not now.
Seems to me like a Photoshop bug. Is there a fix?

Can you tellme where this is
" I noticed that I was saving using jpeg-optimized (I don't know how this was set as in the past I've used jpeg-standard). So after changing to jpeg-standard, it worked!"

Cannot save to jpeg - file gets corrupted?

First let me say, I have searched through the forum and can't find the answer to what I am looking for. That is probably because I am not really sure what my problem is.
As of yesterday I cannot save a file to jpeg (using PS7)
I have done a virus scan and all the other regular checks but nothing is showing up.
Basically this is what I am doing.
Opening a new document - adding some designs, flattening document and then saving. I choose to save it as a jpeg and everything seems to go fine until I go to open up the saved document. Then there is nothing there.
Doesn't seem to matter if it is a new file or an old file. Same problem. (Mode is set to RGB-8bit)
Sometimes if I do a save as and give the file a completely new name a pop-up comes up and says the following:
Could not save as "C:\...\test.jpeg" because that document is currently open. Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.
Of course this makes no sense since I am doing a save as and giving the file a new name.
Can anyone help me? Or point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate it!

Thanks - 7.0.1 installed and still the same problem.
I have narrowed things down a bit.
It seems if I create a new doc 2400x3000 for example I can convert it to a jpeg no problem.
If I start with 3600x3600 I get the problem. Same steps as the above file with the only difference being the size.
Anyone have a solution for this as it seems like it is size related (note that I have created at this size before and never had this problem).
Thanks.

Cannot save in jpeg format

Hi,
After opening a raw file in PSE editor it seems that I cannot save it in JPEG. The closest thing is JPG2000.
I'd like to save a few files in JPEG since I use Qimage to print and it looks like Qimage does not recognice CS2 files.
What am I missing here?
Please help.

You might be in 16 bit mode. switch your image to 8 bit and try again.

Photoshop CS4 "Cannot save due to an end-of-file error" Help

This problem occurs daily, probably 15-20 times per project. I take on normally 3-4 projects per day, so you can see how annoying this is. Basically when I'm saving, I get a dialogue box that says "Cannot save your file due to an end-of-file error" or something to that extent. I would love to resolve this, this problem is persistent and it's driving me out of my mind I'm saving to a network, if that has any correlation. Thanks in advance
     Chris

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
     Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
    Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Cannot save as jpeg in CS2 after exporting from lightroom

I'm so frustrated. This began happening only a couple times here and there after starting to use lightroom (can't remember if it was the 1.4 version, or the beta version). I don't think it's my photoshop program, since I have completely re-installed it twice and reinstalled onto my computer.
Anyway, now it's happening all the time. I export images from lightroom into CS2 to make final edits, sharpen for print, crop, etc and then photoshop will not let me save it as a jpeg. I can save as a psd, or a tiff, but not a jpeg. I have tried exporting in jpeg format, or tiff format, and everything is fine until I try to save either type as a jpeg. It lets me choose the quality, 10-12 etc, then when I click OK, A red box with "could not complete your request because of a program error" pops up.
I have Vista, edit in sRGB, export in sRGB, etc..... just don't know what to do since I NEED to be able to edit and save to send to print. Please help.

Find the solution here:

basically you delete the camera raw info put into the file that trips up CS2 (but not CS3!)

Cannot "Save as" jpeg anymore

Hello,
I have had photoshop extended for approx. 5 months. Recently when I'm working on a shot and want to save it as a jpeg,
that option is no longer there. I can save it as many, many things, but jpeg option has disappeared.I could before.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks Tim

Buko,
Thank you very much. I changed from 16 bit and all is well. Thank you!

Cannot save any jpeg, tiff or other formats except document or template (suddenly today)

I created a file in InDesign and went back to it the next day and discovered that I only had two options for save or save as: InDesign CS5.5 document and InDesign CS5.5 template -- I am not able to save in any other file formats. I followed some online advice that said to hold down the ctrl + alt + shift key and when the dialog box came up chose to delete preferences-- it was said that would restore the original settings which did not happen. I am still only have two options (document of template) to save or save as. Any help is appreciated! Thank you

I see -- I just tried that and it worked, but I never had to do that before -- I don't know what happened! I have always been able to "save" or "save as" and there is a long list of choices there that have disappeared overnight! Thank you for the export work around -- I will use that until I can figure out how to get my other options back! Thank you for responding!!

Cannot save as jpeg

I am having trouble saving my file as a jpeg and after searching and searching I was thinking that my problem may be that it is 16 bit rather than 8 bit (it is a file I exported from Lightroom 3). I am trying to convert to 8 bit but having trouble figuring out how to do this. When I choose Image -> Mode, 8 bits is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?

If the Mode>8 bits is greyed out, then it's not a 16 bit file.
Make sure the file is in the RGB color mode.

jpg does not support Layers.
Just to make sure, what exactly do you mean by "stacking photos" and what do you want to achieve thereby?

Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to.

After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to. I did not have any problems before the upgrade. I would greatly appreciate any light shed on this.

Go to the HP site and look for drivers for your scanner. It apparently needs an updated driver to work with Mavericks.

I get this message when I am trying to save a file that was done in CS4, now using CS6 "Cannot save the file as the font "ArmenianLSU-italic" could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions. Turn off the pdf compatibility option and try again." Even if I start a new file I unable to save it with this font. I need to use this font.

Then you need to outline all text before savng the PDF.
Make sure you do this on a copy of the file.

Photoshop CS4 Save as Jpeg optinon Gone

Hi,
My photoshop Save as, option for Jpeg has disappeared.. Any info would be great!

I believe the question has been answered above, except that I think there may be some remaining misconceptions out there.
Really, the ONLY thing you have to do, with CS4 and earlier, in anticipation of saving a JPEG is change to 8 bits per color.
Through Photoshop CS4, if you Save-As JPEG with layers or channels or other features JPEG can't support, the Save as Copy feature is automatically invoked to save a flattened version of your file without the extra stuff.
This allows you to save your file as a JPEG as long as the image is in 8 bits before you hit the File menu. The one thing Save as Copy did not handle was a bit depth conversion.
I normally work with 16 bit per color files. I often would want to save an intermediate JPEG from the file I'm working on, then continue editing, finally later saving a .PSD at full bit depth. Unfortunately, because of the above issue I'd sometimes find I'd forgotten to go back in the History so as to continue editing in 16 bit per channel mode! This is a nasty gotcha!
The really COOL thing is that the Save-As-Copy feature of Photoshop CS5 has now been extended to do an automatic downconversion from higher bit depths to 8 bits. Thus with CS5 you no longer have to worry about changing the bit depth or anything else in anticipation of Save As JPEG. It just works!
I have been submitting wishlist requests to Adobe for this feature since about Photoshop CS I think.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Adobe for finally implementing it!

Cannot save PPro CS4 project created on another PC

Another editor told me to delete the pref files but I'm double checking first.
I brought across several projects created with CS3 and CS4 on another PC. All open and eventually load after I find all the media (the projects are > 250 gig. The one I need (always the way, ain't it) will open but not even any of the auto-saved versions will Save. I left it overnight and nada. I click cancel and PPro crashes. What is the solution?
SuperMicro server Motherboard
2 quad xeons
16 gig RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64
AVID RTR 320x /UL4D SCSI RAID for media
Quadro FX 3800 video card
All suggestions are welcomed with gratitude.
Peter B

Out of desperation I resurrected a machine that can mount the Matrox RTX2 and will try to open the wretched project with the machine it originated on. When the project tries to load on the Super Micro server box it warns all sorts of what appear to be Matrox plugins and effects are missing so maybe that is the key. I've never seen that little red dot with the X on it before nor the yellow caution sign that precedes it while the media is loading. From now on all projects on the SuperMicro unit will start their lives as AJA format so we can use the $6,000 Braodcast HD monitor I bought in 2008 but haven't actually used for HD other than checking footage from the PDW700 via HD/SDI.
Hope I can open the project because I suspect there will be serious consequences if I do not.
cheers,

Subject: Cannot save PPro CS4 project created on another PC
I can only give you the location for PrPro 2.0 on XP-Pro. Sure that there are some changes, but maybe this will get you started: C:\Documents & Settings\[Username]\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\2.0 and the file is "Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs" w/o an extension. If one "trashes the Prefs," then the Adobe program will just rebuild them with the defaults. There is also a keystroke combo, to use when launching the program. Unfortunately, almost all Adobe programs are different. I think that PrPro is hold down Shift, launch program (while holding down Shift), until it launches fully. For PS it is ShiftCtrlAlt and one gets a dialog screen, asking if one wishes to delete the Preferences - IIRC, PrPro does not have such a dialog.
For the manual trashing of the Prefs, just rename the Prefs file (should be named in a very similar fashion in CS4 and Win7), to say Old-prefs, for backup. Launch CS4, and the Prefs will be re-written.
Good luck,
Hunt

That button is not the Save As button, really, but a link to the DNG converter. To save your raw file in an image format, click the Open button instead and then save in the format of your choice in the editor.

Cannot save file 2nd time CS4 ID=-54 om SMB server

Hello,
We have a problem with saving .ai files in Illustrator CS4 on a Windows 2003 server with SMB filesharing with OX 10.6. If we save .ai files for the second time, Illustrator gives the error: 'cannot save illustration. file is locked or in use. ID = -54'.
If you save a file on the OSX 10.6 workstation, it gives no errror. It is an illustrator .ai smb problem. .eps or .pdf on SMB gives also no problems.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks!
Percy

Percy,
Saving to the harddisk is the safe and troublefree way. Saving through a network is a known troublemaker.
Maybe you can reset the network connexion somehow. You may try disconnecting and reconnecting between savings and see whether that solves the issue; at least it may show the nature of the issue.
