Photoshop CS3 Save and Save As Dialog box not working

I can't do a "save as" or "save for web" in photoshop cs3. The dialog box opens and I can't change anything but the file type pull down menu (and sometimes not even that). This problem happens sporadically.... but most of the time it doesn't work.
I have re-installed Photoshop cs3 but I still have the same problem.
Photoshop CS3 10.0.1
MacPro 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory : 4GB
Mac OS 10.5.8
Please Help

I'm seeing exactly this same problem with Photoshop CS3 after the upgrade to 10.5.8. It appears that the dialog box never gets focus for "Save for Web and Devices" -- the title bar of the dialog is grayed out, while the main "Save for Web and Devices" panel still has focus. That means there's no way to clear the dialog, since the panel is waiting for it to return, but the dialog can't get any input. None of the standard resets work for any length of time. I seem to remember similar problems in a much earlier release of Mac OS X, but I can't be sure. Quite annoying.

My serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12 and premiere elements 12 does not work

My serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12 and premiere elements 12 does not work. On adobe.com it shows that the serial number I received is associated with adobe photoshop elements 9 and premiere elements 9. I have purchased those products in the past, but just recently upgraded to elements 12. I can use the the photoshop organizer, but can't open the photoshop editor.

You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

Save PDF File As dialog box not appearing

I am running Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows Server 2008. I'm having a problem with the Adobe PDF printer. When I attempt to print a document to this printer, the "Save PDF File As" dialog box does not appear. The dialog box does open, but it is either hidden behind the running application or is minimized. I have to click the icon on the taskbar to bring the window to focus. This problem only occurs the first time I attempt to print after logging onto the computer. On subsequent print jobs the dialog box shows up fine.

Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box.
No.

Open/save dialog boxes not working correctly.

Environment: CS6 (PS 13.0.1) Mac OS X 10.7.5. Plenty of hardware. (Generally starting with .CR2 RAW.)
Two open/save problems
Recently (maybe since the 13.0.1 update??), I have been having problems with the open and save as dialog boxes.
First. The open file dialog always defaults to Enable: blank (i.e. no file types enabled). Each time I have to go to the bottom of the dropdown list and select "All readable documents" before I can open ANY type of file. I've searched in everyway I can think of looking for some method to have OPEN default to "all readable" but can't find anyway to do this. Anyone have a suggestion? I admit this is a nuisance more than anything, but when whipping around at deadline having to stop each time and make this change is irritating. No other program has this difficulty (including Illustrator and InDesign). PS5.5 did not exhibit this behavior on the same machine.
Second. When I save as and try to select any file format, say going from psd to tiff, the format dropdown list ALWAYS selects the format ABOVE the one I choose. Example: If I select JPEG, PS tries to save as .iff. If I pull the selection down to JPEG2000 it will then save as standard JPEG. Again just an irritant but, tiff (which I need for several other programs) is last on the list thus there is no way I can go one below it to get tiff format selected. It always comes out as png. Also note that the Format selection indicates the correct format - in the case of tiff the dialog box shows TIFF selected, but the program is apending .png. (Continuing the save as (without altering my selection) always results in the incorrect format no matter what the Format dialog says in the save as operation.) Again, no other program I work with (including several Adobe products) exhibits this behavior.
I seriously need to be able to save as tiff. Anyone with any thoughts on this?
Thanks much,
Robert

I appreciate all responses particularly from an "Official Adobe" human being!
Unfortunately, a significant amount of effort has been expended with no joy here.
I have done the following;
(1) examined every plug-in folder for duplicates - None found
(2) deleted the symlinks (aliases) Topaz created referencing their plug-ins in /Library/Application Support
(3) reinstalled the Topaz bundle - no change
(4) Spoke at length with Topaz support and have been assured that all of their plug-ins are CS6 compatible.
(5) Have had the same conversation with Nik regarding their 2 plug-ins - assured that they are compatible.
Frankly I'm stumped here. I've combed my system in everyway I can without any change in PS behavior - on Open it defaults to blank and "Save as" selects the wrong format.
Question for the experts. Would deleting PS completely and then reinstalling make a difference or am I now in uncharted territory and on my own?
Thanks for all assistance,
Robert
Still need to save as TIFF but can't seem to get there.

ICloud and Open Dialog boxes not working

I originally posted a question at Open Dialog boxes have disappeared without results. I have some more information now.
The problem: Open Dialog boxes do not work - they don't show up at all - for apps supported by iCloud. Apps that don't use iCloud work fine.
I've now figured out that the Open Dialog boxes will reappear if I uncheck Documents and Data in the iCloud preferences pane. If I recheck it, then the Open Dialogs for all synced apps stop working. I am unable to correlate when this behavior started to any particular event on my Mac (that is not to say there is not a correlation - I simply can't find one). I have done file permission repairs, deleted com plists and even reinstalled Mountain Lion 10.8.2, all with no change in the behavior. The results of checking/unchecking the Documents and Data box are instant. I can have an app like Preview open or closed, or restart the computer. It does not matter. Checked = no Open Dialog; Unchecked = get Open Dialog (without iCloud option of course).

Standard 'X' in a modal dialog box not working

Hi,
I have created a module pool and calling screen from main screen using Call screen.... Starting... ending... statement.
It is a modal dialog box screen. As a standard a [X] appears on top right corner. But when I click it doesn't work. it does not even fire PBO. How can I make it work?

Hi,
Set next screen as 0, not the screen itself. Then you are able to close it this way.
Regards
Marcin
I was wrong, this will only close the modal box each time after the dialog step is completed. To activate this magic 'X' (allow closing the window with ALT+F4) in PBO set status (type dialog box ) and activate CANCEL and CONTINUE buttons. Now when you try closing the window either by CANCEL button or using X, sy-ucomm (ok_code of the screen) will store CANCEL function code. This way you can simply say LEAVE SCREEN . That works fine, I checked.
Regards
Marcin

Can Save and Save As dialog boxes be modified to show fewer file type options in CS3?

I'm looking to simplify the choices for the Save and Save As commands to the just the formats that I use on a regular basis to make some repetitive file processing tasks go faster. Is this possible?
Thanks for your help.

Scripting can save to Folders relative to the File’s location or to absolute Folder-paths, so that may be beneficial in Your case.
Scripting can also amend the name a File is saved as, one could even number copies progressively.
It’s naturally easiest (to create, at least) to make one Script per file-format/target-location/name-change, because otherwise creating a dialog is necessary.
The thing I have to admit here, though, is that it would probably take a little time to grasp the matter (JavaScript specifically) – so if You should be under time-pressure already it may not be very useful in the short run.

I would like Adobe to utilize the non-legacy save/open Windows 7 dialog box

So I downloaded the trial for CS5.5 Master Suite and found that the open/save dialog box is the same thing from CS5. This is a huge disappointment.
Reason being is explained right here: http://www.sanneblad.com/2010/06/18/customizing-the-open-and-save-dialogs-in-adobe-cs5-for -windows/
Common File Dialog is being used still by CS5 and CS5.5 which is outdated and legacy.
[Starting with Windows Vista, the Open and Save As common dialog boxes have been superseded by the Common Item Dialog. We recommended that you use the Common Item Dialog API instead of these dialog boxes from the Common Dialog Box Library.]
The Open dialog box lets the user specify the drive, directory, and the name of a file or set of files to open. You create and display an Open dialog box by initializing an OPENFILENAME structure and passing the structure to the GetOpenFileName function.
The Save As dialog box lets the user specify the drive, directory, and name of a file to save. You create and display a Save As dialog box by initializing an OPENFILENAME structure and passing the structure to the GetSaveFileName function.
Explorer-style Open and Save As dialog boxes provide user-interface features that are similar to the Windows Explorer. However, the system continues to support old-style Open and Save As dialog boxes for applications that must be consistent with the old-style user interface.
In addition to the difference in appearance, the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes differ in their use of custom templates and hook procedures for customizing the dialog boxes. However, the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes have the same behavior for most basic operations, such as specifying a file name filter, validating the user's input, and getting the file name specified by the user. For more information about the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes, see Open and Save As Dialog Box Customization.
The following illustration shows a typical Explorer-style Open dialog box.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646960%28VS.85%29.aspx
It appears it would be a simple retooling of the code in order for this to work. I truly hope that Windows 8 will force all software developers to utilize the new Common Item Dialog API.

We've been trying to - but we still have to support XP and Vista.

Um, no, not that simple.

Can't access browser when "Save As..." dialog box is active

Hi all,
When I am downloading and saving a file and the "Save As..." dialog box is active, I'm not able to click behind it to access the browser as I can with Internet Explorer.
I need to be able to access the webpage while the dialog is open, as I often need to copy/paste text from the webpage into the file name field on the Save As... box.
Does anyone know if there is an add-on or something that will remove this limitation?

The problem with that solution is that when I close the dialog box so I can copy the text I need from the tab underneath, I lose the location of the folder for saving the file, and then I need to navigate back through all the folders to find the location again. This is a waste of time.
I cannot copy all the text at the same time into the Save As... box, as I need to take the text from several locations on the webpage (such as program name, version info, etc) and compile it into a useful file name.
Again, if anyone knows of a workaround for this issue (other than the clipboard addons which will only complicate matters) then please repsond.
Thanks!

'Save Scanned File As' dialog box causing problems

A lot of our users just upgraded to Adobe Std 8 from Adobe Std 7. With Adobe Std 8, the 'Save Scanned File As' dialog box comes up even before the document gets scanned (this was not the case with Adobe Std 7). How do you get rid of the dialog box? This is causing us a lot of problems because our Adobe is integrated with a document management program called DM5. With Adobe Standard 8 our users cannot save directly to DM5.Because the
#Save Scanned File As# dialog box comes up first, now they have to tell Adobe to save it first somewhere other than DM, after the document
gets scanned they save the document again to DM then they go back and delete the document that they saved in the other location. Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box. If you hit CANCEL, the document does not get scanned so users really do not have a choice but to save the document twice. As I said earlier, this was not the case with Adobe Std 7.

Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box.
No.

Is there anyway to suppress or disable the save as jpeg options dialog box on individiual images/pic

Is there anyway to suppress or disable the save as jpeg options dialog box on individiual images/pictures?

UI dialogs are an application setting, not a file property. Selectively suppressing them on a per-file basis is not possible, but you can of course create an action and suppress the dialogs...

Save Dialog Box not Opening

I have SQL 2012 running on a Windows server 2012. I just loaded the Visual Studio Business Intelligence Studo 2012 that I downloaded from Microsoft. My problem is that when I click "Save Copy of package.dtsx
As..." , instead of getting the "Save Copy of Package dialog box" , I get the regular generic windows Save Copy of box for saving to a directory file.
Is there some sort of configuration I need to do to have Save Copy of Package dialog box popup?

Hi jd51057,
When we click “Save Copy of <package file> As” on the File menu in Project Deployment Model, we can only save the package on the disk.
Please note that the procedures in the
article is about Package Deployment Model. So if we want to open the Save Copy of Package dialog box, we should change the Model first, then refer the steps in the article.
To convert the Model from Project Deployment Model to Package Deployment Model, please right-click the project to select “Convert to Package Deployment Model” option in the Solution Explorer. If a package uses features unique to the project deployment model,
such as parameters, then the package cannot be converted. So please avoid use features unique to the project deployment model.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 and 'Save for Web' problem

Hi everyone,
I have used Photoshop Elements 2 for some time with absolutely no problems. However when I try to use the save for the web option I get an 'export could not be completed due to a program error' message.
Nothing relevant is mentioned on Adobe's support site. After having gone through the usual 9 troubleshooting procedure I suspect that there is a problem with the 'Save for Web EL' plugin located in the PE 2 plugins folder. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way I can somehow find a functional plugin?
Thank you for reading this post.
PowerBook G4 DVI 667 Mac OS 9.2.x

I don't use Photoshop elements myself, but from Photoshop CS it works fine. I use JPG compression and optimization. First of all - make sure the file format extensions are all available. Applications/adobe/photoshop elements/file formats AND ALSO Applications/adobe/photoshop elements/photoshop elements only/file formats (here I am assuming the paths are the same or similar to Photoshop). Also, check the extensions disabled folder (Control click on Photoshop and go to package contents). If it's none of these, I suggest you check the settings in Elements when trying to save and make sure you are not using an option that conflicts.
Also, check the Adobe forum. http://www.adobeforums.com
Check for software upgrades also.
You do have enough hard drive space and RAM I assume. If you are using PS Elements and virtual memory is on, you may not have enough phsyical space to save the file (but not likely)
P.S. I see (after i wrote) that you are running 9.2.2 - so the paths will not be the same as if it was on OS X - but they will be similar.

How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.

BOXI R3 Webi Doc -"Refresh On Open" checked as default for Save and Save As

we have row level security at database level and we require that all webi reports are set to "Refresh on Open" in order to apply the security settings each time the report is viewed.
Is it possible to make BOXI R3 Webi Document -"Refresh On Open" checked as default for "Save" and "Save As"
through SDk?

Are you referring to editing/creating a Webi doc through infoview? Infoview is an out of the box web application and modification of it is not supported. There is no setting to make all webi docs refresh on open within the enterprise product.
The only thing you could do with the sdk is to open any existing doc and change the setting. This isn't a great solution as it won't affect any new reports created, nor will it prevent users from modifying the document and changing this setting and saving.
