Photoshop wont let me 'save as'

hi, have been using photoshop CS on windows seven, previously xp for years now with only a few problems/bugs here and there which were fixed if i reset the user preferences, but the other day while i was working on a picture when i went to 'save as' nothing happened, nothing popped up and photoshop didnt freeze, it just didnt do anything, also saving for web wont work, the save as button isnt greyed out, i can click it but no popup, no save . Have reinstalled, resent the preferences, checked my resolution, everything i can think of but nothing seems to fix the problem!!! please help!!

Lots of "save as" problems in CS6 because user is transfering plugins from a previous version into CS6.  Do not do this.
Delete the plugins and do not point CS6 to old plugins.
If you have 3rd party plugins best to go to website and download current version in the the CS6 plugins folder.

  • Photoshop wont let me save files with Extensions...

    Photoshop isn't letting me save my files with extensions any more. It's only saving files as copy's and I have to add the extensions manually. This happened around the time I updated to OSX maverics, and is driving me crazy as it is extremely time consuming. I'm using CS5 version. Please Help!!

    Thankyou! That worked to fix the file extensions part of the problem. I had somehow changed it to "never "instead of "always".
    I'm still having the error message problem that photoshop is forcing me to save the file as a copy though. See the attached photo for the error message I'm receiving.
    Do you know how to fix this? So that I can save work to the original image?

  • Photoshop wont let me use the text tool HELP

    Basically ive just got photoshop and it wont let me use my Text tool and i carnt figgure out how to fix it and it wont tell me either ?? help me please

    Hi there, would you be able to post a screencap of your workspace, including your layers panel? That may help us figure out what's going wrong.
    You may also try resetting your preferences by following the methods outlined in the video below. That will generally fix any buggy tools.

  • Photoshop CC wont let me save image with layers as a png or jpg

    I am a beginner and just got Ps last night. I have edited a photo and only put one effect on it, stroke. When i try and save the file as a png or jpg, or really anything other than a psd it tells me that it cannot save the layers the i used in that format. How can i save my edited picture as a png or jpg or convert a psd file to jpg or png?

    If you want transparency for the web there are two choices PNG and GIF. Gif only supports 255 mapped colors when you want transparency and transparent pixels are empty 0% opacity.  PNG supports full color and an Alpha channel for transparency partial transparency is supported. GIF file are very small.
    There are also animated GIF file that browsers support.  While you can create animated png file many browsers don't support them and some browsers like Chrome have an add-on that will support animated png files. Photoshop will save Animated GIF but has no support for animated PNG.

  • CS3 photoshop doesnt let me save as

    it allows me to save normaly, but if i want/need to change a file type, or name and i click "save as" the save as window pops up for a brief moment then disapears.and photoshop feezes. it doesnt really crash, it just freezes and i have to go into task manger to close it.
    im a digital artist so my cs3 program is really important...i need it up and running again!! any help here?
    ive already tried ALT+Spacebar and then M to see if the window was juust off screen, but it didnt work. ><''
    this is my ONLY problem. besides the program lagging ocassionaly with big file loads/saves everything works fine. its just this problem that keeps me from workng!! help me please!!

    To start trouble shooting a problem like this you normally first reboot the computer and then try to limit the number of memory resident startup programs that run automatically. You can terminate ones that are unnecessary, or even try booting up in safe mode. Some times your error may be caused by internal conflicts in these auto run memory resident programs.
    Removing any viruses and spyware is important. Run various antispyware applications to detect, repair and remove these programs.
    If none of this helps then try re-installing PSCS3.
    It is not easy... so be patient.

  • Photoshop wont let me choose video animation?

    It automatically selects frame animation as soon as I open up timeline.
    I have Photoshop CS6 Extended.

    Photoshop extended not required.
    The documentation states:
    Convert To Timeline Animation (Photoshop Extended)
    Converts a frame animation to timeline animation using keyframes to animate layer
    properties.
    But it’s certainly fine with me if it’s available in Standard.

  • I Movie HD wont let me save anything, shuts down on export

    HELP!! I work for a photography company and we want high quality slide shows for our customers. I Movie makes very nice movies but we have to process slideshows of over 300 images. I will get the whole process done, transitions, music (3 hours of work at least) and the stupid program shuts down and i lose Everything!!! it throws everything in the trash and i have to start from scratch. ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING!! Some on please help. why does this happen? I have bare-boned my computer so that nothing else is running and there is plenty of space. anyone have a clue how to gt around this?? This problem, if i can'r resolve it, will force me to have to use some hookie slideshow software (yuk). And yes, i know i photo does nice slide shows but i need more than simply the slideshow.

    I will get the whole process done, transitions, music (3 hours of work at least) and the stupid program shuts down and i lose Everything!!! i
    Are you saving the project once in a while? If we don't save, and iMovie runs into a problem and crashes, everything ends up in the iMovie Trash for iMovie doesn't know what to do with it.
    Working for hours without saving not only risks losing lots of work but also, probably, increases the likelihood of iMovie crashing.
    So it's good to get in the habit of saving, and saving often.
    If you ARE saving regularly, but still losing the project, please say more. You should lose only the material that's not been saved. And much of that should go in the iMovie Trash.

  • Photoshop wont let me resize brush using shortcut

    Im running photoshop CS5 on windows 7, and I can not resize my brush or healing brush tool or clone stamp using my keyboard short cuts [ and ].  If i restart photoshop the problem goes away for 10-20 minutes but comes back.

    rebooted photoshop and computer
    rest all tool

    Zeno and OP
    There's an easier way. I'm Finnish, so the task bar has an "FI" icon (for the keyboard) to the left of the tray icons. By clicking that icon, I get a selection of available keyboard mappings, or at least US English and Finnish. Naturally enough, if I activate the US English keyboard, I can use Photoshop shortcuts. For instance, the two keys to the right of the "P" key adjust the brush size. Use of the keyboard icon in the taskbar has the benefit that my normal keyboard layout is restored when I exit Photoshop. I'm using Win7 Pro, 64-bit.
    Best regards

  • I am running a laptop with windows 7 on it and trying to use the save as feature in Photoshop CS6 and won't let me save as anything. Please help?

    I am running a laptop with windows 7 and am trying to use the save as feature in Photoshop CS6 and it wont let me save as anything. Can someone please help me with this?

    A screenshot of your Photoshop work area showing the open file you want to save as, the Layers panel open, and the Save as... dialog open might give us a clue as to what is going on.
    To take a screenshot and save it as a file
    For Windows 7, Printscreen, open a New File in Photoshop, Ctrl v to paste, then save as jpeg (the other trick was for windows 8)
    Use the Camera icon on your reply to upload it.
    Also File > Save for Web is a good workaround if you just need a jpeg, png, or gif.

  • Photoshop CS4 wont let me use my 3D Axis

    For the first month or so using CS4, I could use my 3D Layer tools and the Axis would always show. A few days ago, I started up my work PC just as every other day, and my photoshop had reverted to all of its origional workspace settings, and my 3D Axis has been missing ever since. Anyone recommend a solution? Simply going to View > Show > 3D Axis doesn't work...
    Thanks,
    LP

    I tried both suggestions. Photoshop wont let you drag the 3D Axis out of the canvas, and I still couldnt see it but I found the problem. Somehow when all my preferences got reset, my "Enable OpenGL Drawing" was unchecked...thus, not allowing me to see it.
    Thanks for the help!

  • I am trying to type an arabic word in photoshop using arabic but it wont let me ?

    I have been trying the word shajaat in Arabic but it wont let me and ive already tride going through the edit and preference and going through type and changing to middle eastern and then restarting photoshop but it still wont do that and im running a windows 8 please help !

    Open your Creative Cloud Panel, click on the Gear icon on the upper right, choose Preferences. In some versions you must click on the "Apps" tab.
    Change the App language in your CC Preferences to English (Arabic) then the Install button will appear next to  Photoshop CC
    After you click on Install, it will add this language pack.
    When the Install is finished, open Photoshop, go to Preferences > Interface and change your UI language to English (Arabic)
    Restart Photoshop for this to take effect.
    The menus will be in English, but you should be able to input Arabic.
    I have to leave soon. I hope this works.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 will not let me save files edited on a usb flash drive, but will photos on the hard drive all other apts will on the flash drive

    Photoshop Elements 12 will not let me save files edited on a usb flash drive, but will photos on the hard drive all other apts will on the flash drive

    Thanks for the information and your help. I have never bothered before changing the format. Next time I will.
    I copied the library to the external drive and then it went and said they were referenced files but I was okay about that. Now it cannot see them and will not do anything with them. I think I will buy another external drive and start again by importing all of my files again. I guess 55K will keep the mac busy this week.
