Photoshop Elements 7 - format changes to temp file when saved

When I open a file in the edit screen (quick edit) and then edit the file -- when I close it (and agree to replace the current image), it closes as a temp file and I lose the jpg file? It does state that the image "Could not save as ..... because the file is already in use or was left open." Then I close it and the jpg is gone. Is there some setting I have to change? I just want to make changes and then save as the same file so I only have the new, edited image? I know I have done this before.
I am using Vista and Photoshop elements 7. I had elements 4 before and this never happened. In fact, I used my elements 7 before and it never happened.
Thanks for any help.

Please explain more as if your new file is not created properly or it is not recognized as a supported file format. In later case you will see some unsupported file format icon when you save the file and check its file icon.
Also when you save the file, a jpeg settings dialog box comes up. Make sure you select appropriate settings.
If you find that its just the unsupported file, then try opening the file with File->open As and choose jpeg and see if its opening.
Also try open with after right click the image icon and browse and choose PSE as a default app for opening a file.

  • CS6 OS X and Illustrator creates temp files when saved

    Hello all,
    First time to the forums, did a search and couldn't find anything, called customer support they didn't have an answer, and they directed me here.
    We recently upgraded from CS5 to CS6 for OS X(Snow Leopard).  Now, when our users open a file and save it, the file is saved, but along with the file, a temp PDF file is also saved in the directory.  So needless to say, if my user makes 10 changes to the file, there is the original and 10 temp PDF files in the directory.
    We never experienced this with CS5, and I'm not sure where to look, our environment has been unchanged with the exception of the upgrade.
    All the files they are working on are on a Netapp NAS device, and only one person is working on a file at a time.
    any help is appreciated.

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Select the text on the line below by dragging across it. Don't include the blank space at the end of the line.
    sudo chmod -R -N
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Click anywhere in the Terminal window, then paste (command-V). Press the space bar.
    Now switch to the Finder and and select the item(s) that are causing the problem. Drag the items into the Terminal window. More text will be added to what you entered.
    Click in the Terminal window to activate it, then press return.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. You can then quit Terminal.

  • Fonts changed to Unix files when saved to a remote server

    Hi all, I read an archived thread regarding this, but not sure if my situation is related somehow. The issues others have had was that their font files were converted to Unix files at 0KB, when stuffed.
    My issue is I backed up fonts (PS and TT) from my Mac to a remote server (PC based). When that server is accessed by Mac users, some saw the file as a Unix file at 0KB. However, there were some (including myself) that saw the actual font file.
    That was a few months ago, we've retired that server since, but before doing so I transferred all the fonts to a new server. It's now a raid drive run off a Mac Xserve. After the transfer, I checked to see if the fonts were still okay, and they were showing full Mac file (no Unix). I didn't go into the new server for a couple of months, but when I did I noticed that all the fonts had been changed to Unix files. Some were at 8KB, others at 60KB. But no 0KB files. +Note: because the initial transfers was a success, the original files from the old server were deleted along with it. So there is no way of retrieving the original files. As well, were were running 10.4.10 with the original server and files. Switched to 10.5.x when files were transferred to the new server.+
    I've tried the tips here (using the Terminal method and the FileUtilsCM script) http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6041364 but to no avail. I'd hate to think these fonts are scrap. As they were all purchased (and there's a whole load of them). Any input in saving these files would be of great help.
    Thanks in advance.

    The real font information is stored in a resource fork, not the data fork fo the file.  Depending type type of file system you copied them to, how you copied them, and what method you are using to look at them, you may not be seeing the resource fork.
    You can see more detail about files usng a Terminal command such as
    ls -leaO@ file
    If there is a resource fork, it will be displayed.
    If the file system was not a Mac OS X external file system, then you might want to look for a file with a similar name only starting with a leading period to make it invisible to the Finder
    ls -leaO@ /the/directory/with/your/fonts

    jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

    The first thing I did was UPDATE. I have all the latest updates available (according to the updater). The Camera Raw Plug-in says it is version 8.0.
    The RAW files are from a Canon T3i. It's a very common camera, I can't believe it wouldn't be supported.

    I did try to uninstall and reinstall.  It messed up my computer.  I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup.  This was not helpful at all.  I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all.  Geeze.......

    If you use a trackpad and don't want to switch to a mouse, you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and will still have problems, but if you really want to try it, you can download PSE 12 here:

  • Photoshop Elements 8-Change of file format when saving deletes filename

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 since last May and have always been irritated that when I add text to a photo it always defaults to PSD format for saving.  I have gone to the preference options to see if I can set jpg as the default and it does not offer that option.  This means that every time I save after adding text I have to manually select jpg to get the format to change.
    Although this has been a pain, I have done it thousands of times as I have edited photos.
    My problem is that suddenly from one day to the next when I change from PSD option to jpg the filename disappears and I have to go back and manually type in the whole filename.  The only changes to my computer settings that I can think of that might have affected this is that Microsoft Updates had 2 updates.  First was Definition for Windows Defender-KB915597 and the other was Unpdate for Windows 7 for x64 based systems-KB97690.
    I saw a similar problem posted by sandwitch2 on Feb. 13th about PSE6.  99jon suggested the change to permissions of adding "everyone".  I tried this and it did not correct the problem.
    Any other suggestions are welcome.
    I have found Adobe's insistance on saving as PSD irritating to say the least in the past.  The inability to change this in preferences has made me very unhappy, but the quality of their product has outweighed the hoops they make me jump through until this.  Their search feature in support is pretty much worthless.  It either brings up nothing if you keyword is to limiting or brings up 200 responses if it if too broad.
    I have been a user of Photoshop Elements for over 6 years updating as new editions have come out. I am to the point that if I can't get this current problem fixed I am uninstalling Elements 8 and going to another software.  Adobe's proprietary requirements and poor support page are just too much of a pain to deal with.

    I was told that if I save in PSD if I send the photos to share with others only those with Photoshop Elements can open the files.  That is why I try to use jpg.  Is that true?
    Thanks for all the help from both of you,
    Bettye

  • Photoshop Elements 3.0 Back-Up - File Name Change

    I currently run Photoshop Elements 3.0. When I back-up the catalog from within Photoshop, the file names are changed (i.e 100_2424.JPG to BO00012). All of my Premiere Elements 7 projects point to the original file name. If I ever lost that original JPG file, the back-up file would be recovered, but would not be recognized by Premeiere Elements, and thus not be found. Why does the file name change after back-up? How can I retain the original file name during back-up? Thanks.

    Once you have taken the backup, all the files are renamed as you mentioned in the post. Its only when you restore the catalog through File->Restore, the files are restored by the original name.
