CS6 beta locks up when saving portrait files

I've had an issue with the CS6 beta.  It doesn't happen every time, but it has happened at least 5 times.
When I have been editing portraits in CS6, occasionally when I flatten an image and then go to save it, the program will lock up with the 'save as' window frozen on my screen. I can move my mouse around, but it won't click on anything photoshop related.  I can pull up Safari, or go to other programs... but CS6 is jammed. Fortunately, CS6 has a recovery feature, and I haven't totally lost my work (only the layers of the other opened files, which could obviously present a problem).   I think it might happen if I click in the 'Save as'  box within a few second of it opening  when I go to rename a file - If I wait a while longer, maybe 10 seconds longer after the 'Save as' window pops up, it seems to avoid the issue.
It seems to happen when I am working on multiple images (more than one portrait open at a time). 
Also, now when I am running Portrait Professional through cs6, my macbook gets very hot... it never did that before.
This issue has happened on my macbook pro, Mac OS X,  version 10.6.8, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, 2 cores, 8 GB memory.

I am not that familiar with OS dialog, and bad disk data structure...  but I am not doing anything different than I normally do.
When I flatten my image and go to File/Save, and the standard little window pops up - and I click inside the Save As text bar at the very top to give the file a name - cs6 locks up at that point.  Each time this has happened, I have not selected a new location, I merely clicked in the Save As text box... but could do nothing else from that point on. When I click file/save as, when the window pops up- The current file name inside the text window always appears highlighted in blue - indicating that it is selected and ready for re-naming, when I click on that to rename it, that is when it locks up. The letters remain highlighted in blue... just frozen to the cursor.  I can't get photoshop to 'hide' at this point either, if I go to Photoshop/hide photoshop.
I will check out the DiscUtility idea, but I do a lot of work on this computer, and have never ever had this issue until cs6 beta, and only when I am on cs6 beta. The few times that I have used cs5 since I downloaded cs6 beta it hasn't done it.
These files that I am working on don't have any issues after I force quite cs6 beta and reopen them. The only thing that I can determine might be causing it, is clicking in the box too soon... like I have to give it 10 seconds to get its act together to "save as' another name. It might be preparing a file thumbnail... that makes sense, but it is taking an unusual amount of time.  I have tons of memory, so it doesn't need help in that department.
Beside this issue, I really like the look and feel of cs6.

  • File locked message when saving a file with Photoshop

    We've been seeing a problem with several users that is hard to reproduce. Every once in a while when they try to save a file in Photoshop on the server they get a dialogue saying 'the file is locked, use Finder info to unlock the file'.
    This file is located on the server and the problem only happens when doing a 'Save', not with a 'Save as'. The server is running 10.5.5 and the clients are 10.4.11. This is happening with Photoshop versions CS1, 2 and 3. It also happend with Illustrator CS3 once.
    We've been experimenting with different scenario's using different ACL's and POSIX settings. Also, when the client reboots their machine the exact same 'Save' actions works again.

    I've been receiving complaints about a similar issue over the past few weeks, except using Quark and Excel. I wonder if it's related to the 10.5.5 update. Are you sure you didn't get the version numbers reversed in your post? We're having the issue with 10.4.11 SERVER and 10.5.5. CLIENTS.
    It's a file locking issue, so you probably won't fix it by changing the ACLs or POSIX permissions. The server thinks a different process still has the file open, so it's preventing you from changing the file. "Save As" works because it creates a new file.
    You can probably eject & reconnect the volume from the client instead of fully rebooting.
    The question is what's keeping the file open. You can run:
    sudo lsof | grep <filename>
    ... in Terminal to see whether a given Mac has the file open. If the server comes back with a response to that command (don't worry what it says - you just want to see if anything comes back), then you know that the file is locked.
    Next, go to each client that could have the file open and run the same command. If none of them have it open, you're probably looking at the same glitch that I've been. The server thinks a file is open but none of the clients do.

  • How automatically saving a copy when saving a file?

    Hi,
    For my pictures (RAW and PSD) I use a separate external disk, our Timecapsule would be full in a year. My work flow in copying is normally no problem. But of course now my iMac drive is 'broken' I find a few PSD-files not be copied to the external drive. I wondered, is there a simple way to automatically save a copy when saving a file (and replace an earlier version of the copy)?
    Murk

    Thanks. FWIW I'm very keen on improving tethering and lobbied Adobe endlessly until they added the overlay for shooting into layouts because it was a major reason why some of my clients were unable to switch to Lightroom from PhaseOne. But we have to be realistic and remember that tethering just isn't a key market for Adobe as it is for PhaseOne, so progress is painfully slow. For example, where is live view or setting exposure which are in PhaseOne? I'd be amazed if we get those features for a few versions, and that's why I point serious tethered shooters to other solutions. And realistically, assuming your understanding of the SDK is correct you shouldn't expect a change until the next full version of Lightroom.  Good if it happens, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    Hi There,
    The subject header just about says it all. This is the first action I took with MAX - it is a fresh install. The file I wanted to save was still written and the FP seems to be working ok. However, I need to know what happened.
    I can't post the whole log file due to the amount of characters allowed on this post. I can cut and paste sections if there is a specific part of the file you need. Below is the first section and last section.

    Hi,
    I did a research on your error message and it seems this problem was introduced with MAX 4.6. This version switched to a new error reporting mechanism and reports even errors that are which are not critical to your task.
    These errors typically show up as "unexpected" and if your error falls into this category have a look to this KB for further assistance.
    If it doesn't fall into this category, your could try to go back to the MAX 4.5 or 4.4.. Of course you would need to reinstall some components and might not be able to use newer drivers at all.
    Let me know.

  • When saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?

    when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
    thank you
    dovid

    It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
    Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
    Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step.

  • FrameMaker crashes when saving a file as XML

    Hello -
    I am encountering a problem saving a .fm file as a .xml file. I have saved many .fm files as .xml files in the past with no issues. However, lately FM crashes with a "serious error" on certain files when I try the same save process. My initial thought was that the file was somehow corrupted, but this morning I ran into this scenario: I have 3 FM licenses in my office, I was trying to save a .fm file as .xml and FM kept crashing. So I had another co-worker try to save the exact same file as a .xml file and it WORKED!?!?!?!
    We all were using FM 11, but I have since installed FM 12 thinking that version 12 wouldnt have the same problem, but the same issue is happening with both versions of FM. I read that FM has issues when working across a network so I have tried it both ways, across the network and locally and the same issue occurs.
    Again, this problem occurs occasionally on various files - not every file, but as previously mentioned I was able to successfully save a file on a different machine that I could not save on my machine. I have the most recent log file that was generated after a crash:
    [*** LOG FILE REMOVED BY MODERATOR***]
    Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.
    Gavin

    An update -
    So FM now appears to crash "sometimes" when saving as an xml file AND when saving the file in general. I have 3 machine with FramMaker installed, first with version 11 now with version 12. These 3 machines are all identical as far as SW running on them, etc... I have been unable to detect a pattern as to when FM will crash thus far. Sometimes it will crash when I try to save the file as an .xml file and sometimes it will save just fine. I have resorted to marking up the document a little at a time, saving the file, then trying to save as an XML file. It will work sometimes and other times it will crash. Sometimes it crashes when trying to save the .fm file other times it works; sometimes it will crash when I try to save the .fm file as a .xml file, other times it will work. About the only thing in common that I have found thus far is the fact that it happens with the same file over and over again; meaning that if I have a pool of 12 files that I need to load into FM and markup, 11 of the 12 files may work just fine and the 12 file will not - it will crash FM at some point in the markup/saving process every time. One might guess that the original file is somehow corrupt and that may be, but at this point I am not sure how I prove that is the case as FM seems to load it in just fine and I can save it right off the bat just fine. Does anyone know how I can prove that the structured file i receive initially is corrupt when it loads into FM fine? If we were causing some issue with the import of our modified EDD then why dont we have the same issue with the other 11 files in the batch as they all are using the same EDD?
    I have sent my most recent log files to adobe tech support this morning. I have tried saving files on shared drives as well as on local drives. I have tried the same process on the other workstations with the same results.
    Does anyone have ideas on how I can isolate a problem with the source file (structured doc) or on why FM is crashing when I perform these actions?
    Thanks,
    Gavin (Ryan)

  • Adobe bridge crashes when saving illustrator files

    Hi there,
    We are developing custom connector using Adobe Drive SDK for our DAM system, the integration with CS was working fine, we recently updated Adobe Drive to 4.2, and we are encountering bridge crashes when saving illustrator file. It didn't happen with older version(4.0.2) of Adobe Drive, not sure why. I pin point the part that causing the issue: in our custom connector, we have READ_XMP_METADATA capability which we need to display the thumbnails and previews, and in the ftp sample connector, this capablity is not included originally, so the issue does not happen, but if I add this capabilty, the crash issue happens as well. If we exclude this capablity from our connector, this crash issue doesn't happen.
    We noticed this only happens when saving illustrator file, not photoshop or indesign, and it seems that only in illustrator, when save, and the bridge has the current file folder showing, we are seeing there are twice folder refreshes, and usually it will crash after the second time. In photoshop and indesign, we don't see folder refreshes. If switch to other folder, the crash won't happen. We tested on both windows and Mac, on Mac, this seems happen less often. Another thing we noticed is in debug mode, or we have many debug logging turned on, the crash happens less often, if it is deployed with no debug logging, the crash happens almost everytime. So we are guessing it might be some synchronization problem. 
    Could you please advice what's the cause of this issue?
    Thanks,
    Katherine

    Has it ever worked?
    What kind of files are they and where do you save them?
    Is a printer connected, set up and turned ON?
    Have you already tried resetting the preferences?
    Generally it's not a good idea to just save old files, because then some artwork may be automatically flattened. Illustrator will save the file to the old version file-format and if you used new features in-between, those cannot stay live in the old version file format.

  • When saving a file i don't see the progress

    When saving Numbers files I use to see the progress of the save.  I no longer see its progress.  The files are being saved.  Any reason why this is happening??
    tj

    I'm on OS X 10.7, your profile says you're on 10.6.8, so i can't duplicate what you are seeing. If I was to guess, I'd say it is related to changes made for Lion where versions are  periodically saved automatically in the background, where you wouldn't want a progress window always popping up. "Save" has become "Save a Version" and, though I hadn't noticed, probably also does not pop up a progress window..

  • Excel Hangs when saving a file

    Hi
    When saving a file (CTRL+S) excel hangs, no error or anything.
    This happens on Windows 8 PRO, on Win7 no problem at all.
    Tried on EXCEL 2010 and EXCEL 2013 Customer Preview.
    Checking the file after the app crash shows no file exists however 2 files exist instead:
    *.TMP file
    *.[NOTHING] file
    The *.TMP is the new file i just saved, if I change it to *.XLSX it works fine, no curroption.
    This was done saving on DESKTOP.
    Since file was saved I assumed there is some kind of permission error so I changed the directory permission for "C:\Users\MYUSER\DESKTOP" to "EVERYONE".
    With this setup excel saves without a problem....
    I guess EXCEL tries to save under  a different user which has no permission but why no error?
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Check to see whether the user you logged on to the system has the permission to the file.
    Also, check to see whether the following link is helpful:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271513
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313937
    And, based on my research, hang when saving the file also maybe caused by a printer installation.

    No, you can't.
    It changes in what encoding a file is *shown*. It does not affect in what encoding a file is *saved*. I think it is a bug, or a forgotten feature. I've downgraded kate because of that(looks like only solution).

  • Illustrator CS6 Rasterizes Drop Shadows When Saving Back to CS

    I am working with Illustrator CS6 and when I save a file to an earlier version - CS3 or CS - that has a drop shadow effect, the effect gets rasterized. Drop shadows are not new to this latest version of Illustrator so shouldn't they still be editable when saving to a version above CS?
    Thank you.

    Actually Gaussian Blur was indeed updated in CS6 to be much faster. All drop shadows use Gaussian Blur, as do outer glows and inner glows. If you need live drop shadows and glows in CS5, then apply them in CS5.
