Photoshop not saving current document but temp file OK...

Hi, this is slightly difficult to explain but happened twice yesterday. We have not experienced it before and have not updated out CS6 apps recently:
Situation – Photoshop 13.1.1 x64. Mac Pro 3.33 6-core running OSX 10.6.8, 48Gb RAM. Working on a large-ish .PSD file (650 Mb) and saving to a network drive (a Drobo connected to a server) which is our usual routine and has been for years.
Problem – When I save the document and close it, the saved file (in the correct target location) shows the correct modified time and date stamp but if you open that file up again a lot of work is missing. In this instance, about the last half hours work (since the previous time I saved it). However, if you then go to File > Open Recent and choose the file name, the document opens with all the missing up-to-date work in it.
Clearly, File > Open Recent is opening a temporary document somewhere and not the saved file in the target location.
My concern is why isn't the saved file (with correct modified time and date) up-to-date? Suddenly we are having to double check every PS file we work on and save and that is not practical.
Any help greatly received.
Thanks,
Tom

ctrl-clicking the name (in non-tabbed view at least) should indicate the actual path of the file.
and saving to a network drive
Well, as far as I know Adobe washes its hands of any such set-up and if there are issues with Photoshop and a server you are on your own.

(I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
    Any suggestions?

    If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
    iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

  • I created an image in Photoshop and saved it as the PSD file. Now when I try and open it it says it is not compatible with my version. How could this be when I created it in this version?

    I created an image in Photoshop and saved it as the PSD file. Now when I try and open it it says it is not compatible with my version. How could this be when I created it in this version?

    That depends on why it won't open.  Most of the time it means the file is corrupted and unlikely to be recovered. If you saved it right after adding or copying a LOT of layers - then it might just be the layer limit and we can attempt to recover it.

  • Photoshop not saving preferences

    I am having an issue with Photoshop not saving my preferences. I have created my own workspace but everytime I quit the application and restart it I still have to go through and reset all my preferences. Any thoughts on this?

    I believe that would be the date that our tech team installed CS5 on my new computer. As a side note, our tech team consists of all PC people, there isn't one Mac expert among them and they didn't seem too confident setting the user accounts up. The entire team has had nothing but issues with our brand new macs + CS5. But I am not sure what part of that is Apple/Adobe/Tech fault.
    When I "get info" on the settings folder my user account does not appear in the list. I changed the settings so that everyone has read & write permissions and that solved the problem. But that seems odd to me. Like I might have a much bigger permissions issue...?
    Anyway, problem solved! Thanks Chris!

  • BDC not saving the Document

    Dear Friends,
    I have written the BDC for FB01. It's uploading all the voucher entries properly but after the last entry it's not saving the document and asking for new entry..
    What may I be missing? Any clues???
    Regards,
    Alok.

    Hi ,
    Use simulate button, to check and make sure the amount on both sides(DR/CR) are equal. If the problem is not solved then check for your BDC recording, is having any Popup's screens to fill the mandotary fields like cost center like that.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Selectable map not saved in fillable PDF form file

    Hi all, I have a problem with a document (it's a book for children) which has been created using InDesign CS6 on Macintosh. I need to make a fillable form (which is not a problem) and I have applied the "Extended Features for Acrobat Reader". I guess the client uses Acrobat Reader for Windows.
    The problem comes when the client asks me to include a map where the pupils can select the countries, and that I have solved using buttons that show/hide these countries. It works fine, but when the client fills the form and saves the document, the map doesn't save the selected fields.
    How can I make it work properly? I also tried creating a "SAVE MAP" button, but unfortunately, Acrobat only applies this feature to the current state when I create the document, NOT when the client clicks on this "SAVE MAP" button. Is there another solution, please?
    And there's still more... In another page, the pupils must select 5 words, and the problem remains the same... the selected fields are not saved.
    I hope I've explained myself correctly, I know it's a bit confusing.
    Thanks in advance!!

    If you will be adding up the mileage reimbursement amounts you might need to round the result of the calculation to 2 decimal places and that will require a custom JavaScript calculation. Using unrounded values can result with an answer that does not add up to the displayed value.
    Using the simplified field notation also requires that field names meet a very specific format. The field names need to start with an alphabetic character and it cannot have any white space character in the name unless some additional coding is done. These restrictions are a result of processing the formula string with JavaScript and how the data string is parsed for processing.

  • Why are my edited pictures from bridge not saving when I automate batch files through PS?

    When I edit my photos through adobe bridge (open camera raw, make adjustments to 1 picture), then automate (batch) my file folder in PS, the edits I have made don't save. Example, I crop an image & lighten it, I can view the adjusted image in bridge & camera raw, but when I batch my photos the editing I have done is gone.

    Raw files need to be opened and saved before the adjustments are applied.  I have no clue what your "batch save" does.
    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,

  • Photoshop not saving correctly with mcx folder redirection

    Students have network homes with their cache folders redirected to local drives as per:
    http://houseofmac.wordpress.com/2010/11/03/os-x-network-home-folder-redirection/
    Everything has been working fine, but lately several users are not able to save files in photoshop.
    Save As takes them to the invisible cache folder in tmp on the local drive.
    Photoshop allows them to select the desktop or documents folder as the destination for their saves, but their files are not visible or accessible there.
    When I log into the local machine as admin and check their cache folders, the files are not there either.
    Client machines are 10.7.5
    Server is 10.5.8
    Photoshop is CS6
    Any ideas?

    Correction:
    Photoshop's Save As... takes them to tmp in private at the root of the server's startup volume.
    This is sporadic, and seems to happen only when there is a "large" group (30!) of clients all logged in at the same time.
    Clients are connected to the server via 100 Mbs network.
    Server has 2GB SDRAM

  • Photoshop not saving pngs properly

    My team and I have been having issues with generate image assets not saving png files correctly. Photoshop has been saving them with the png extension, but the file has a white background like a jpg. Has there been in recent updates that may be causing this? Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

    I think the default with Generator is 24 bit, but I tried an 8 bit one and I was able to get transparency.  Can you post a screen shot of you layer pallet to see what you've got?  Here's a sample with a layer forcing an 8 bit png and the result - pretty bad quality - png 24 is much better!

  • Search field in Open dialog will not find pages documents but will find identical Microsoft word documents

    This is a new one. Problem seen on iMac and Mac Pro.
    1) Create a new Pages document (newest version).
    2) Save to the Desktop
    3) Export as MS Word document with the same identical name
    4) Close the Pages documents
    5) Quit Pages
    6) Open Pages
    7) Choose File : Open
    8) In the search field in the upper right corner of Open dialog. Enter the name of the document just saved.
    9) Only the MS Word document is listed. the Pages document is not shown, even when Filename contains is selected
    If anyone knows how to fix this problem. please comment on this request.
    thanks

    thanks for testing. I do realize that the two test files will show up in the Open dialog as it opens to the Desktop folder. But what happens if it opens up in another folder and you need to locate a Pages file where you don't know the location, you remember the name. You would go to the search field in the upper right corner of the Open dialog and enter the name. In the Open dialog, the name would be listed and you can choose the one to open. In my tests, the search field would only show the MS Word document, not the Pages i.e. only one would be listed not two. Also, Filenames is an option that does appear in the search field in the Pages Open dialog.
    The examples files I created are called "This is a test". The content of the file is "This is a test" (without the quotes in both). the search field in the Open dialog is suppose to locate the text in the documents if enclosed in quotes which it does for the Word document but still will not find the pages document. You can click Filenames while entering in the search field and the same occurs, only locates the Word doc, not the Pages doc.
    thanks again

  • CRM sales order is not saved in CRM but in ECC

    Hi,
    I am new CRM area and will not some hints on where to check.
    When the the Sales orders are successfully created in CRM, they are replicated to R/3 but the sales orders are not saved in CRMD_ORDERADM_H table of the CRM system.
    Also, I dont know see any details of the sales order in the interaction record document flow.
    Can you please help me with any hints on where to check to fix this issue..

    Hi Sangameshwar,
    In CRM you can have two scenarios for ERP Sales Order.
    1. ERP Sales offer and Sales order, using the CRM User Interface to create directly the ERP Sales Documents with LORD interface. The document is only saved in ERP. I believe this the scenario you are using.
    2. CRM Sales offer and Sales order, the document is saved both CRM and ERP. The documents are replicated via Middleware.
    In both scenarios the interaction record should add the document in the doc. flow, it's probably a missing customizing in the interaction record.
    Hope this information help you.
    Regards,
    Jorge G.

  • Packaging data is not saved in document draft (missing functionality)

    Dear all,
    Packaging data, usually typed with delivery note, is not saved together with Delivery Note draft (No matter the draft is saved manually or automatically by approval procedure).
    I have tested on SBO 2005B latest patch, 2007B latest patch, and 8.8 version, they all do not save packaging data in draft.
    The draft related tables for packaging (DRF7, DRF8) are already existed in SBO, I encourage to get this missing functionality back.
    My customers are highly needed for this function for better operation flow.
    It would be appreciated if this request could be implemented in the near future patch.
    Thanks in advance

    Have also just discovered that this functionality is missing, although we were going to be using it when saving an AR Invoice as Draft. This is a major hole and is going to cause a big issue for a current implementation where this method was going to be used to create 'Split Deliveries' without making the account postings and allow Despatch paperwork for the Shipping company to be printed. The solution was going to be extremely simple, but now potentially is going to result in a substantial SDK development.
    It would be useful to know whether there is any likelihood that it will be resolved in the near future, i.e. in a patch for 2007A SP1 or 8.8.

  • DIAdem not saving all samples from TDMS file

    Hello to all,
    I have several large TDMS files (1.8Gb each) containing approx. 120 million sampels. When I try to open these fiels in Diadem it previews the correct amount of samples (120 Million), but when I try to save tha data in Matlab format it saves me only half the samples, 60 Million. Also, I have a Matlab script that opens the TDMS files and does exactly the same thing, it is not saving all samples. 
    Can you please advise me on this issue? Is there a way to automatically fragment large TDMS files into smaller ones?
    Best regards,
    Ion 

    Hello Jean Baptiste,
    It seems your TDMS file is fine since you have the correct number of data in DIAdem.
    It may comes from the conversion to the MatLab format. Maybe MatLab can't accept more than 60 millions data. You should ask that to the MatLab expert on their forum.
    However, if you want to fragment your TDMS file, you have to do it manually in DIAdem, when you load the file into the Data Portal, or you can automate the function by using VBScript. (Last panel in DIAdem)
    An other solution would be to fragment your TDMS file directly where you write it. (In LabVIEW maybe?)
