Edit image cannot save

Posted similar topic also in InDesign forum because it involves both...
Hi, have a strange problem for few days. If I edit image (PSD) in InDesign with "Edit original" command in Photoshop sometimes after editing image I get message "Could not save "C:.../......psd" because the file is already in use or was left open" when I try to save it. If I close the file in InDesign I can save the image again in PhotoShop. Happens not all of the time. I'm not working with files on server. It's just me alone...
Anybody experienced this kind of behavior?
System Win XP SP3, InDesign 6.0.3 + Photoshop 11.0.1. (CS4)

You need to check with InDesign. The message about "file is already open" means that something outside Photoshop has the file held open and Photoshop cannot save over the file. In this case, the "something outside Photoshop" is InDesign.
Yes, other people have seen this.
But the InDesign team needs to hear about it from customers.

created by Barbara B. in Photoshop Elements - View the full discussionYou are being deceived by the Save button, like most people. 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.

Re: Illustrator CS5.5 - Will edit but cannot save .ai files created in CS3

Hi! I recently installed Illustrator CS5.5 over CS3 (as part of a CS5.5 CS upgrade). I did not uninstall CS3, as I still sometimes need to use it with collegues who have not upgraded. I am on a PC with Windows 7 (64 bit).
Today I opened an .ai file I had created in CS3 about 6 months ago, edited it and attempted to save it as a CS5 .ai file. It would not alow this, popping up a message saying "Can't save the illustration!".
So, I attempted to save it as a CS3 .ai file, and recieved another error message. In teh end, I just had to close down Illustartor and lose my work. I will re-do it in CS3.
Anyone got any idea what the problem might be?
Help!
Cheers
Angus

Thanks for the response.
No mysteries here…… I just have a common or garden single home PC installation of Windows 7 (64 bit) and the file I was trying to use in CS5.5 is simply a series of charts (graphs) – each in a separate layer - that are then placed in a report. File is 454 kb.

Photoshop CS5 64 bit trial version...I can't get edited images to save changes

CS5 Web Premium Trial Version
I'm using Photoshop CS5 (64-bit). I've made some minor changes to my photo. I've saved, yet the changes won't save. Is this because it is a trail version or am I doing something wrong? I'm wanting to use the photo in a Word doc. Every time I upload it there its the original photo
Thanks for the Help

Are you saving the file using the same type (e.g., jpg)? Do you have file extensions hidden?
Same location as the original file?
Do you see the changes if you double click the file in Explorer and open it in the Windows Photo viewer?

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again. Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
Thanks

I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.

What Caused "Image Cannot Be Edited"?

I have 13,000 photos in iPhoto, which I began importing eight years ago (scanning old photos, importing digital photos). I had no problems with my Power Mac G5 and its OS, and the earlier versions of iPhoto. Then I got an iMac, shifted the photos from the G5, and no problems. I continued to introduce into the iMac Apple's new OS and new versions of iPhoto, and no apparent problem. In fact I can document the following with my Mac:
3/11 upgraded to IPhoto '11 (current version 9.4.2)
3/11 upgraded the OS to 10.6.3 Snow Leopard
7/11 upgraded the OS to Lion (current version 10.7.5)
I thought I was doing the right thing by upgrading soon as new OS and new iPhoto came out. Now I'm not so sure.
The past year I have not done any editing of my older photos. I just went to edit some older photos and as I clicked on the photo, then edit, on the right side I get the message, IMAGE CANNOT BE EDITED - This photo was previously edited with another application of with an early version of iPhoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it.
This message applies to my first 10,000 photos. I have spent hundreds of hours editing these photos. The 3,000 photos from July 2009 are OK and can be edited.
So, must I duplicate each of these first 10,000 photos, each in their respective albums, to continue editing them? This will take hundreds of hours more. How in the world can Apple have such a poor transition between one OS and another, or between one IPhoto and another? Has anyone experienced this situation before? Is there a solution to my problem, or am I stuck with duplicating 10,000 photos (and deleting 10,000 photos), album by album, and then reediting them?
FYI, I have a a Mac Mini with iPhoto version 9.2.3 and OS X 10.6.8. It has about 11,000 of these photos on it (I haven't loaded the last 2,000 photos onto it) and it does not demonstrate any of these editing problems.
Your observations and recommendations are recommended.

Hi Larry
Thanks for setting me right on how this forum works. Having now understood why the 'duplicate to edit' situation arises (thank you) I would offer some related advice:
Some photos that 'need duplicating in order to edit' may appear incorrectly rotated in iphoto slide shows.
I came across this problem when I was showing an old iphoto slideshow to friends but some of the slides showed up turned 90 degrees.
In the album and slideshow preview they were correctly orientated. I tried putting them into a new slideshow but they again came out rotated 90 degrees when the slideshow was run.
It turned out that all the ones that had this problem were ones that could not be edited without creating a duplicate first - but simply putting the duplicate into a slideshow resuted in exactly the same problem. I tried rotating the duplicate and then rotating it back to its original position but this did not solve it either.
It seems that in order to get such photos to display the right way up in an iphoto slideshow you need to make an actual edit to the duplicated photo - eg crop it slightly or straighten it a fraction. Or rotate it and force a save, then go back, rotate it back again, and then it will show up fine in the slide show.
You can then rebuild the slideshow using the edited duplicates.

Can no longer save edited images in version set with PS 10.

I've been using PS 10 for many months and have been able to save my edited raw images as jpgs in version sets. I can no longer do this. The edited images save on the hard drive but not in the PS organizer...thank you for any help you can offer....

Ok, you need to know what you want to do with your image. For example if it's for the web the best way to save to jpg is.. File-Save for Web, then you will see a Box with four pages,, you can choose: Original which is going to be your original image,... Optimized which is a Lower quality version. 2-Up and 4-Up.
when you click on 4-Up Tab you see your original image in the top left, Also you have your image in 3 different windows with different file size and speed. You can click on each window and inside the Preset in Top right choose JPEG. and you can change the quality from Low to High or Drag the Quality Slider for different quality.
NOTE: when you do File-Save For Web,, you are going to have a flatten Image.. you will loose your Layers.
It is always better if you shoot your images In higher Res, such as 240, or 300 dpi, and later Down-sample the image to a lower quality for the web. If you have the original image at Higher Res, First you should Go to Image Image-size For Example Height 1200 Pixel. If you go ahead and save the file for the web then you don't need to change the Resolution. don't forget to Sharpen your image when you Down-sample

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows: Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
*** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
Thanks for the help, dj_paige.

When playing a slide show there are many nonvisible photos. They appear as "image cannot be edited. The original is offline." Where is it and how can I get it back into my photo library?

How can I get all my images to show in my photo library? When playing a slide show some of my photos have a message "Image Cannot Be Edited. The original is offline."

What version of iPhoto?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Editing Error - This Image cannot be rendered for editing...

Editing Error - This Image cannot be rendered for editingbecause Aperture doesn't support the image format.
Thats the message that appears when I'm exporting to Photoshop CS5 (I tried CS4 too), or even other Plug-ins such as Silver Efex Pro...
That had never happened before, and I use Aperture for over 2 years.
Its RAW image format from the same camera and all, nothing has changed. just randomly decided not to export anymore to other programs, Regular exporting works, so it's nothing to do with exporting it self, but the communication between aperture and other softwares, I think.
I've seen some other people having the same problem, does anyone have a take on it, in how to solve this? I can't edit anymore outside of aperture. (of course not including the idea of exporting and doing everything away from aperture, which is totally not viable with the amount of content to be edited and not being in aperture anymore.)
I've tried deleting the preferences, tried repair permissions of the Library, and still didn't work.
Didn't go to the other 2 options (repair and rebuild database) because it would take days if chosen, and still not sure that would solve. or if has anything to do with.
Any light anyone?

What kind of file is it? (i.e.jpeg, Canon RAW, Nikon RAW etc..)
As a workaround until you get the issue fixed, why not reimport the image from the original file, lift and stamp any adjustments you've made in Aperture, and see if the same problem occurs?

How do I save an edited image back to my iPhoto gallery?

How do I save an edited image from Elements back into my iPhoto gallery?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photo from iphoto, work on it in PSE and save it without changing the name or format (you don't want to see the Save As window) and iphoto will remember your original + last saved version, although you'll have to lose the edits to see the original again. This doesn't work for raw files and you will probably need to set the Editor preferences>saving files>on first save to save over existing to get it to work for other formats.
2. Export the photo to the desktop, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes you want, save the file in any format with any name you like, then import the edited photo to iphoto as a new file.

What does image cannot be edited. The original is offline.

I was trying to edit a photo in an album and got an error message in right panel: Image Cannot be Edited; Original is offline. What does that mean?

Is it just one photo, several or all? Check iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to see how it's configured:
If you find you're running a Referenced library the missing originals may be gone for good. You can search for them by name (from the thumbnail) on your hard drive to see if they are misplaced. I'd download and use Find Any File for that as it can search areas that Spotlight can't.
If it's only one or a couple select the thumbnail of one of them and use the File ➙ Show in Finder ➙ Original menu option to take you to where the file should be inside the library. This is just to confirm that it's not there.
