Image reduction (200px -- 100px) causes program error

"Could not complete the Image Size command because of a program error" is the error I get.. I've got a 200px .psd file (created with cs5.5 extended) and reducing it to 100px borks.  Enlarging it worked though...

Well, I restarted my PC, opened photoshop and the same file I was working on, tried to reduce it (from 144px to 72px) and the same error occurred.  Wish it was more detailed than that
I could try reinstalling Ps too, but that kinda defeats the purpose of reporting the bug.

  • Using brush causes program error.

    I have Photoshop CS (version 8.0) running on Windows XP Home (SP3). I searched the help files, FAQs, and the forums and didn't find anything related to this.
    Today I opened a document I've been working on, created a new layer, picked a default 9 pixel hard round brush, and when I clicked on the canvas to paint I got "could not complete the task due to a program error" and right after this Photoshop shut down.
    I ran my anti-virus, but the computer is clean. I then checked all the brushes in my Photoshop folder to see if there were any odd ones in there - there weren't. Then I closed PS and when I opened it again I held down Shift+Ctrl+Alt to reset the Prefs file. I created a new document and reset the brushes, then I tried once again to paint with a default brush. Again I received the same program error and PS shut down.
    I uninstalled PS and reinstalled the program. I restarted my computer and opened PS and tried painting again - the same error, only this time PS didn't shut itself down.
    I'm at a loss here. I know Photoshop can have some psychotic moments, but this is the first time I have encountered this weird behavior. If anyone can give me some suggestions on what might be happening and how to remedy it I would appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    >Doug Cloud:As I said in my first post - "Then I closed PS and when I opened it again I held down Shift+Ctrl+Alt to reset the Prefs file."
    But you didn't say you received the dialog asking you to confirm the reset. Just holding Shift+Ctrl+Alt isn't all that is required. If you didn't get the dialog, which happens quite often, then you did NOT reset the Prefs.
    You may be knowledable enough to know the dialog is required, but unless you say so we have no way to know if the Prefs were really reset.

  • Starting Facetime (MacBook Air) from Dock menu causes program error.

    When opening Facetime from the Dock menu, I get an error message. Something like: "there was a problem, please close the program". The only option is to close it, btw, and it does not help. But when I start the program from the launchpad menu, it works just fine. How can I make the Facetime icon in the Dock menu work?

    Exactly the same problem ! just cant launch Facetime from the dock. From Finder or launchpad works fine.

  • I keep getting a 'program error' when I try to import an image

    I just downloaded photoshop cc and when I try to import an image into my project it keeps giving me a 'program error' Does anyone else have this problem?

    OK, then I don't know what would be causing it.
    We haven't seen such problems on MacOS 10.9.
    What else did you change on the system since it was last working?

  • What causes "Could not complete your request because of a program error"?

    I am trying to edit some pictures from a recent shoot and every time I try to open one a message pops up saying, " Could not complete your request because of a program error." What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Welcome to this forum!
    I’m happy to help but can do a better job if I have more information about your situation.
    What version of Photoshop do you have?
    What is the make and model of the camera you used for the shoot?
    Could you also include a screenshot of your entire screen as the error message pops up? To include a screenshot in your post, click the word “Reply” below the post you’re reading right now and then click the camera picture to embed the image.

  • CS2 loading images gets a program error

    I have cs2. It will not load any images and I get the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error"  What should I do?  Reload the program over the old load?  Uninstall and then reinstall?
    [ more useful title supplied by admin ]

    Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
    My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
    Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
    I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
    I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
    Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

  • Photoshop CS2 not working after 10.6.7 update? program error!

    Could not complete your request because of a program error. I opened an image RGB and wanted to save it as a CMYK.
    Save as and entered new name... thats it! Then the error popped up. The only thing that has changed is the update!
    Please help.

    If you updated to 10.6.7 then you should (go to your Apple menu at the far left and) check for updates.
    There was a problem with some types of Fonts that has been fixed by the Snow Leopard Font update:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377
    However, always wait after an OS update (true of Windows too) and see if it causes any problems with 3rd-party software, etc. - PRIOR to updating your system   And always, always have a full, known-good backup before you update. Especially for any computer that is used for business purposes !
    Last but definitely not least, you should know that Adobe CS2 is a Power-PC only application (circa G4 and G5 processors, before Apple moved to Intel processors), and requires Rosetta (PowerPC emulation).
    So you should consider any CS2 application running at all, as fairly miraculous.
    CS3 was released four years ago, and provided the first Intel-native ("Universal Binary") versions of the CS-suite applications.
    Mac OS 10.6 only runs on Intel-based Macs (ie: Intel processor required).
    If you are using Photoshop CS2 for any revenue-generating purposes, then it is (and was) incumbent upon you to properly allocate and budget for
    upgrades and you should - nay, must - be running a more current version of the software. If your budget does not allow for newer Adobe CS, then you should have kept a legacy system that can run an older Mac OS, and understand that your workflow is living on borrowed time - and you had best keep several old Macs that can still run an older Mac OS and run your CS2 natively.
    In no way shape or form is CS2 supported under Mac OS X 10.6 - certainly not in any official way by Adobe !
    You could also be irate about not being able to use your 8-track tape player in your brand new car. I'm exaggerating but not too much.
    Please read Adobe's response regarding CS3 (not CS2) and 10.6/Snow Leopard:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2009/08/adobe_snow_leopard_faq.html
    With all of this in mind, you should know that your frustrations with Apple and the unsupported and not-recommended interaction of CS2 and 10.6 are misguided. Best of luck to you !

  • Saved Tiffs will not open in CS2 and generate a "Could not complete your request because of a program error".

    this was supplied by Ann Shelbourne.
    Saved Tiffs will not open in CS2 and generate a "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
    These files will often open in Photoshop 7.0.1 or in CS1 but not in CS2.
    The trouble may be caused by bad dates in the EXIF data and can originate from an incorrectly-programmed digital camera; or from a scan that was created after after Jan1 of this year (because of a known bug in some scanner software).
    If someone runs into the "Could not complete your request because of a program error" problem, and does not have CS1, try opening the Tiff in TextEdit.
    The EXIF data is right at the top. Check the EXIF data for bad creation dates and change any incorrect ones there.
    Save and close; and then the file will probably open in CS2 without a murmur.

    > If iPhoto causes problems why not open the images from the Finder?
    I get the error if I open a file from within iPhoto using "OPen in external editor" and then alter it (or do not alter it) and try to save it over itself, or save it anywhere else.
    I get the error if I do "Show file" in iPhoto to see the file in the Finder. Then, if I double-click and it opens in PS, and then alter it (or do not alter it) and try to save it over itself, or save it anywhere else.
    > And with »save it anywhere« You indicate that You use the Save As-command?
    Right.

  • Could not complete your request because of a program error photoshop cs4

    My first frustration right now is that I can't search the forums... anyone got an answer to that? on the right hand side (if I'm logged in) I type in a search for anything and it always shows no search results found! Why? is the search function not working?
    Anyway, my problem is that when I try to save a multi-layered psd file into psd or jpg I get this error message: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    What is causing it?
    I checked for updates and PS is up-to-date. I restarted, and it worked great for about 3 saves (different pictures). (I'm basically running through some shots and just doing a quick levels and curves adjustment and running an action putting in my name watermark.)
    After that quick edit and trying to save - same error message again.
    It started suddenly yesterday - after having used PS for about 1.5 years without a problem. I haven't done any changes to it as far as I'm aware.
    Any one seen this before, or have a solution to this?
    Thanks!
    Computer specs:
    Windows 7 Pro - 64-bit
    12 GB Ram
    750 GB OS hdd where PS is installed
    2 TB Media drive where the files are being pulled up from/saved to.
    Intel i7 x980 3.33 GHz
    GeForce GTX 470 with 1280 MB dedicated memory
    Logged in as administrator.

    Did you update or change or plug-in or remove anything else on your computer just before it happened?  Photoshop relies on other system libraries to do things and maybe one of those changed.
    No, I did not change anything; I was editing pictures - from a quadding trip where they asked me to shoot for them - and suddenly I started getting the message on most pictures.
    Hard drives are not nearly full. (.99 TB free on media drive and 588 GB free on OS {C} Drive)
    scandisk error check? I probably need that.. (I've had some problems with BSOD and had the BIOS corrupted recently that I had to flash the BIOS again. Could that cause something like this?)
    How do you reset preferences? Is it the Ctrl + Shift + Alt key immediately after PS starts? I did that and it didn't fix it.
    Saving in odd location? No, I don't think so; I save to the same place I save other stuff and I have a solid directory base and I always follow the same procedures. I save back into the same folder I open the file from and save back to the same filename + "edit". That way I can compare side by side and have a backup copy of the file.
    The only USB device plugged into the computer is a logitech wireless combo of keyboard and mouse. (And a wired USB keyboard that sits to the side and that I use only when the batteries in my wireless dies.
    I can't think of anything that has changed that would cause PS to act like this.
    If I can't get it working soon, I'll re-install. I have the Production Premium CS4 version - can I just reinstall PS or would I have to do the whole suite?
    Thanks!
    PS. I don't know if I was clear enough on what I'm doing: I open anywhere from 1 - 20 pictures at once, and then do a quick level or curve adjustment and save to a different file name. The confusing thing is - some pictures I have no problem with, but others - even though I do exactly the same thing - this error message comes up. I'd say about half of my 107 pictures from the quadding trip refused to save.
    It almost makes it seem like some pictures are corrupt or something - and yet, I'd be really surprised to have soo many corrupted images suddenly.

  • Photoshop 2014 Program Error in text

    I am currently using photoshop CC 2014. And sometimes when I am tying text, or copy/pasting text into the PSD file, an message would pop up that I "Could not complete your request because of a program error" After which, I would be totally unable to do anything to the text box at all. The text box would be blank, any attempt at copy/pasting or typing text would just cause the message to repeat.
    It doesn't happen everytime I open photoshop CC 2014. Sometimes the text is fine. And then randomly it just happens. I can save the files. After which if I reopen photoshop CC 2014 it would be fine (and after a while may happen again).
    I think I'll try using photoshop CC 64 bit in the mean time to see whether if this is a program issue or font issue.
    I was just wondering if there is anyway I can fix this?
    EDIT: just some more details, I am using Windows 7.
    EDIT: Is there any other details I can supply for help on this?

    No, increasing memory usage isn't really helping. The error message appeared again, this time when I was trying to edit a text bubble I already placed inside the document:

  • Photoshop CC program error when opening or placing files. VERY FRUSTRATING PLEASE HELP.

    I'm an advertising graduate student that relies heavily on Adobe programs for my multiple simultaneous projects throughout the school year, specifically Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Muse, Edge Animate and Premiere Pro.
    I'm using a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite.
    I have been experiencing an incredibly frustrating issue with Photoshop and Muse, both CC 2014. I'll speak about Photoshop in this thread since, well, this is a Photoshop forum. This has been happening for almost a year now. I figured Adobe would've fixed this problem by now, especially given the myriad of crash reports I send.
    While working in Photoshop, sometimes when I go to place a file I get an error message that says "Could not complete your request because of a program error." It used to be that this error was fatal and I would have no other choice but to force quit out of Photoshop and restart it. We all know how incredibly time-consuming it is for Photoshop to open (especially 10-15 times in one sitting), and being in grad school, time is not something I have a lot of when I have deadlines and projects due.
    This error is still happening and for the same reasons; however, now I can still continue to work on my file, as long as I don't need to open a document or place an image...which doesn't help very much because I'm doing a lot of mockups and composites and need those functionalities. It happens probably 90% of the time when I try to place or open a document.
    For the record, it's a similar issue that's causing Muse to crash as well. When I try to add an image file, it causes the entire program to crash "unexpectedly," as Muse so eloquently puts it.
    Until recently I had kept CS6 on my hard drive and would dig it out to use in place of CC when PSCC would crash; however, someone told me that having both versions was likely the cause for the crashes. After much hesitation, I finally uninstalled all of CS6 from my hard drive the other day (the right way, not into the trash can, since someone is inevitably going to ask that question) and I'm still having this problem, and now I don't have my CS6 version to fall back on and now I'm in a really bad spot.
    I apologize for all the rambling, but I'm really very, very frustrated with this error, and I had to do something while waiting for Photoshop to restart. Someone please help.

    MacOS 10.10? Yeah, Apple is working on that bug.  They already fixed the crash in the open/save dialogs, but have a few more problems to address with the open/save dialogs.

  • Error Message in PSE 12. Cannot complete request due to a Program Error

    Hi,
    I have just bought Photoshop Elements 12 and have checked for updates. All ok. My laptop meets the system requirements. The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. There is stacks of room on the dedicated hard drive I use for Elements. I use a Nikon 7100. When I am editing my RAW images sometimes everything is fine with the edit completed and saved as designed. At other times I do my editing, click on "open image" and I get an error message that my request cannot be completed because of a program error. The only thing I can do to get editing again is to re-start Elements. Sometimes I get the error message at my first edit and at other times on my second, after a successful first save.
    I'd be grateful for any ideas as to why I'm getting this message and what I need to do to fix it.
    Thanks.

    Well, your info is inadequate/ insufficient/ vague. We need exact info about your system, exact memory and file handling settings, what files you work with, what tools/ features/ functions you use when the errors occur and so on. There's always a specific cause.

  • Could not complete the Crop command because of a program error - Win 7

    So I use PS CC everyday for cropping out images from design mockups for websites.
    Yesterday (1 April 2014) I got a new comp from the designer with some updated images. So I opend the comp, and began to setup the cropped area with my guides. I then grabbed the marquee tool and made my selection, clicked Image->Crop, and then I get an error message.
    "Could not complete the Crop command because of a program error."
    Well that is helpful.
    So now its "Help me Google, you're my only hope.", after about an hour or so of searching this error I find that it mostly happens to Mac users. I am using Windows 7. I also find that people are trying to get information form a PSErrorLog.txt file that is suppsoed to be located in the "Preferences Folder"... again I am on Windows 7.
    So more searching to find the Windows eqivelant of this file's location: C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Adobe Photoshop CC Settings
    Only to find there is no PSErrorLog.txt file. I do have a sniffer-out.txt file and a bunch of .psp files, a SynchFiles folder and 2 Workspaces folders (one Modified).
    So I say to myself, "Well, I have cloud and a fast connection, won't take long to reinstall." So I delete PS ( I am also runnig DW, FL, Br, and AI ), and PS only. I do not run the cleaner tool as it only wants to delete a PS driver, or EVERYTHING!, which I do not want to do, I just want to delete PS. So I delete PS and check for anything left behind (why is there always stuff left behind? Apparently DELETE really means "Only delete some parts of the app that are required to make it work, and leave the rest behind.", or something.). Anyway, I then reinstall, go to crop again, and get the same error.
    So here I am, "Help me Adobe Forums, you're my only hope."

    Mylenium,
    You are correct. But none of that information, or those parameters, have ever had any effect on cropping anything in PS before. I crop vector smart objects brought in from AI all the time. In this case, yes the layers I am trying to crop are vector smart objects, which I rasterized and merged, then resaved the document and still get the same issue.
    But, going off of your suggestion, I did flatten the image completely and I am now able to crop it without error. I suspect that there is something else in the layers that maybe causing this issue, as you have mentioned.
    Thank you for your input, while you may not have known it, you gave me at least somewhere to start to try and figure out what is happening.

  • "Could not complete the save command because of program error."

    Dear all,
    I am having problems saving jpegs on Photoshop CS3. I use windows XP professional. I am saving using the save menu (not save as). I am using a saving archive, where folders are within folders. I am trying to save images which have been copy and pasted from the web.
    The message I get is:
    “Could not complete the save command because of program error.”
    Has anyone got this message, and know how to solve it?
    Helen

    I think My Documents is a local folder.
    I would avoid saving to deeply buried folders because the path will be too long.
    If the problem still persists, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Constant: Could not complete your request because of a program error

    Hi Guys,
    Last week I upgraded from CS3 Design Premium to CS4 Design Premium, everything is working perfectly bar Photoshop 11.0.1
    I am running OSX 10.5.8 on a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 5.5GB ram
    I am getting the error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error" repeatedly when using PS or even if I just launch it and have it run in the bg it will come up with the error
    The error stays there if you click ok it instantly re-appears and does not go away so you basically have to force quit PS
    I have tried the apple+option+shift on program launch and it seems to fix it for a few min passibly enough time to open an image do a quick colour levels and save but any more than that it starts the error process again.
    I have also tried reinstalling from disk with no luck
    I cant thing of anything else to do has anyone else got any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Dan

    dano4127,
    I was having the exact same issue. Running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a PowerPC. Started having the issue in CS3 just about the time I was going to upgrade to CS4. I installed CS4 , and it was working great. Then boom! Started getting the perpetual "Could not complete your request... blah blah blah" error.
    Through quite a bit of my own digging (and let me tell you I am no geek by any stretch) from Apple and Adobe, I found a suggestion to delete my font cache files - since sometimes they get corrupted and cause all sorts of weird behavior. I did this using a free download called FontNuke (http://www.jamapi.com/pr/fn/). It collected and deleted all my font cache files.
    And so far so good!
    When you are done, you may want to validate your fonts through FontBook (if you use it), and get rid of any that are corrupted as well.
    Hope this helps!
