Photoshop prefs not saving

Numerous issues since trying out some of the CC 2014 offerings including
Unable to update any apps in the Mac OS desktop app since first updating Premiere and After Effects. Premiere updates and load After Effect 2014 won't open
Seems related to preferences and permissions. Message from Photoshop 2014 on close:
Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder.
Trying to find those preference files without any luck. Hidden files?

  • How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?

    Hello!
    How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?
    So... Quite often I choose to 'Edit in photoshop' from Lightroom but then end up not saving the result. (for example, because I just wanted to experiment with the photo, or I'm not satisfied with the results)
    However, Lightroom always creates a copy of the original photo, which stays in the catalog even if the photoshop changes aren't saved.
    Is there a way to stop this, and only add a photo if it has been edited in PS?
    Using LR5 with PS CS6 on a Mac 10.9
    THANK YOU!

    Select 'Open the Image in PS as a Smart Object'. The image will be rendered by ACR in memory without being written to disc until you save it from within PS.

  • Photoshop edits not saved in iPhoto

    I've set up Photoshop CS4 as my external editor in iPhoto, and this has been working well for quite a while. I usually edit in Photoshop and save over the original (both jpeg files) in iPhoto. However, today I noticed that my edited work was not showing up in the gallery view (i.e. even after saving over, the original version of the photo was shown in my gallery). On close-up I can view the edited photo, but once I edit another photo the previous photo I edited reverts to its original form. I've tried repairing the library and permissions by pressing option + command on startup, but the problem still remains. None of my edited work is saved once I close and reopen iPhoto. Please help! :-(

    You are saving as a jpg (if the original file is a jpg), right? Check this workflow and see if you're doing anything significantly different than what's described.  Screenshots are from Photoshop CS3 but should be similar to later versions.
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

  • Photoshop changes not saving in Aperture

    Greetings,
    I'm having a frequent but inconsistent problem that when I open images in Photoshop. After saving the changes and closing the PS file, the copy is still there in Aperture but it remains a copy of the original, it does not record any changes made in PS. When I quit out of Aperture and restart, I get the stacked images thumbnail but with only one image in it, and only marked as one image in the corner (whereas it said two and there were two images in it before quitting Aperture).
    any ideas?

    Hmm! hadn't done that yet (this happens both ins PS CS3 & CS4 by the way, saved as either 8 or 16 bit TIFFs) and maybe this is a piece of the puzzle--went to show package contents and found the original files, including all the copies, which were each given individual folders with successive numbers. For example, the original files is "Bottega_432" and can be found in its folder names as such. Each PS saved version was given its own folder with the same name but numbered successively in brackets after the folder name. Should these be going into the same folder and are not for some reason? The images themselves seem to be fine. I'm guessing it has something to do with Aperture not seeing the new folder it created for the new version? directories? this is beyond me.

  • Photoshop CS6 not saving

    I am using Windows 7 with an i7 core and 18gb of RAM. I recently purchased a CC subscription.
    In Photoshop CS6 I have noticed that at times after having saved a .psd file, after I come back to it later the changes are gone. At first I thought perhaps I fogot to save, but last night I saved several photos I had been restoring and was careful I did save them. This morning once again the changes on one of the photos were not saved, they had reverted to the original file before the restoration was done.
    Has anyone else noticed this problem? What could be causing it?

    Well, they never save properly on the operating system level or something on your system is restoring older versions of files. There's literally a gigazillion potential causes like PS's own recovery mode restoring files, because the app crashes on exit, Windows' system restore, backup tools, virus scanners interferring in the safe process, permissions issues preventing file writes or even genuine hardware issues with your harddrive and its controller. Impossible to know. Definitely not a general PS fault. If at all, I might imagine something being awry with history states, but that would still be fixable by simply picking the correct state on the saved file...

  • Photoshop elements not saving edits/captions

    I am perplexed how to get my photoshop elements 4 to save my photo edits and captions. It has worked well for many years but something happened a couple of months ago and now it is not saving either my photo editing or captions in organizer...HELP!

    DJ, My computer is windows 8, below are the system requirements for PSE12 - looks like it will run in 64-bit. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
    No, you have seriously misunderstood what I said. PSE will not run as a 64 bit application under Windows. Even though you have a 64 bit version of Windows, PSE will NOT run as a 64 bit application under Windows. It will run as a 32 bit application under Windows 64bit, giving it a maximum of approx 3 GB of memory to work with. I don't know if that will make your problems go away or not. Please download the 30-day free trial of PSE 12 and see if your problems go away or not before you make a purchase.
    From the system requirements
    all other applications run native on 32-bit operating systems and in 32-bit compatibility mode on 64-bit operating systems

  • User prefs not saving

    Recently, preferences set by my users are not saving. Even if you set your prefs, shut the program down and re-start it, nothing is saved. Of course, if they log out and in again, its the same thing.
    All users are using LDAP to the server to login, and all user folder are mounted over the network. The only recent change was a system update yesterday, but I did this in hopes of solving the problem (It did not).
    Any ideas on what I can look at to try and resolve this issue?
    Thanks!

  • Just updated - Prefs not saved - None of the posted solutions work

    I just updated to 3.6.8 and found that the prefs are not saved. I cannot apply any themes and the "Firefox Updated" tab won't go away, I tried all the solutions presented here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved and none worked.
    - I have Macaffe and it was set properly
    -The user.js file is completely empty
    - prefs.js and prefs-n.js do not exit in the directory
    Unfortunately, nothing worked. Any thoughts short of doing a complete uninstall?
    Thanks!

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Photoshop CC Not saving properly

    Ok, I have tested this with a few different computers that all have the latest update of Photoshop CC and they all do it... When you have a photo open and you go to Save As, if you hit enter (which should save it), the dialog box drops you into a subfolder if you have subfolders, and then hitting enter again saves it in the subfolder, which if you dont catch this, could lead to files being saved where it's not supposed to be saved to.  You have to physically click "save".  please help fix this bug. 

    What operating system are you using?
    It's not working the way you describe for me on Windows 8.1.  When I choose File - Save (or Save As), then just hit Enter, the file saves in the folder that was selected by default.

  • Photoshop EPS not saving vector data?

    I have a Photoshop CS3 file with 2 layers that use vector masks. I saved the file as an .eps and checked "Include Vector Data." I placed the .eps in an InDesign document. On screen everything looks fine, but if I print to PDF the vector mask layers are missing; likewise if I open/rasterize the .eps file in Photoshop the vector mask layers are gone. It prints fine if I place the original .psd file in the InDesign doc. Any ideas why .eps doesn't appear to save the vector data? Thanks...

    I understand that eps doesn't support layers, and that vector data will be rasterized if I open the eps in photoshop. That's not the issue; the issue is the vector layer data is being *discarded* and is not making it through the workflow: eps placed into an InDesign document and distilled to PDF.
    Update: I merged all layers in the psd file except for 1 vector layer & saved as an eps. When I reopened the eps in photoshop, it tells me it's rasterizing eps data, but when the file opens the imagery from the vector layer is missing. Likewise, if I place the eps in InDesign and distill a pdf, the imagery from the vector layer is missing, even though it appears in the onscreen preview in InDesign. Maybe something is screwy with that mask?

  • Photoshop CC not saving preferences

    Hi,
    i am on OSX 10.9 and my Photoshop CC is not working properly: everytime i close the application (not forced quit!) it is not remembering any settings. Neither my workspaces nor any preferences i did manually. It always goes back to the default view on every time is start up Photoshop. It saves my workspaces in the Preferences folder physically but they seem to lack of any information.
    I already took a look on the user rights of the Preferences folder and its fine.
    I also reinstalled Photoshop and the most awkward thing is, that i also did a complete clean reinstall of my system. Still the same problem, which is really annoying.
    Regards
    Ben

    Same problem here. No answer from Adobe except "try restarting"

  • Photoshop adjustments not saving back to Aperture

    Using Aperture 3.3.1 and Photoshop Elements 10.
    When roundtripping a photo as a TiFF file to photoshop, I make adjustments in photoshop. When I click save (not "Save as") it takes me to a save as dialog box and a TiFF options dialog box. The adjustments I have made in PS are not showing in Aperture. Not on the thumb or the preview. Is there a fix for this.
    I have tried restarting aperture, or making a minor adjustment to the image, but the image is still not updating.

    What is the file extension you are seeing in the save-as dialog? Aperture saves as "tiff", but Elements as "tif". Make sure the extension is "tiff".
    For more options, have a look at
    Re: Aperture 3 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 problems.
    There used to be a problem in previous versions of Aperture, see:
    Aperture 3.2.3: Viewer does not update after editing an image in external editor
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4237, but this should have been solved in Aperture 3.3

  • Photoshop CS not saving files correctly.

    I have just recently tried to upload jpeg files converted from PSD and TIFF files in Pshop CS and received messages that the files were not jpeg files even though they had .jpeg at the end. I think this may have started about the time that I upgraded to 10.4.5 because several friends mentioned that they could not open some jpegs in their mail. At the time, I just figured it was a problem with their mail - but this upload experience seems to indicate otherwise.
    I did a search and did not see anything quite like this posted yet. Just wondered if anyone else is getting complaints that their jpegs can't be opened or if someone is aware of this problem.

    In the pulldown menu for format, it shows me JPEG, but it automatically uses the three letter extension on the file name when this is selected.
    Let me know if that does the trick.

  • Why is Photoshop touch not saving my projects?

    For the past three days, every time I start a project, PS touch acts like it's saving it and then BAM! Project gone. Why?
    Untitled6 is my most recent victim.
