PSE 9 - bug report TIFF save-as PSD bug

Running PSE 9:
Elements Organizer 9.0.0.0
Core Version: 9.0 (20100905.m.9093)
Language Version: 9.0 (20100905.m.9093)
The save-as function has a bug; after opening a tiff file, editing it and trying to save it as psd, it still shows up in windows explorer as a tif file, with a tif extension. The file can be opened in PSE afterwards and then saved again as a psd, which then works. Bizarro

The first thing to try when PSE gets weird is to reset the preferences. Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • TIFF superior over PSD

    Hi, I came across this link.  What interested me was one comment, TIF format is a superior format then PSD.  What is the community opinon on this ? I sorta agree !
    Wrong...PSD is now a bastardized file format that is NOT a good idea to use. Even the Photoshop engineers will tell you that PSD is no longer the Photoshop "native" file format. It has no advantages and many disadvantages over TIFF.
    TIFF is publicly documented, PSD is not. That makes TIFF a preferred file format for the long term conservation of digital files.
    TIFF uses ZIP compression for max compression, PSD uses RLE which if you save without the Max compatibility will be a bit smaller, but at the risk of not being able to be used by apps, like Lightroom.
    TIFF can save EVERYTHING a PSD can save including layers, paths, channels, transparency, annotations and can go up to 4 GIGS in file size. TIFF can save all the color spaces PSD can. The ONLY thing I can think of that PSD can save that currently TIFF can't save is if you Save out of Camera Raw a cropped PSD, you can uncrop the PSD in Photoshop CS, CS2 or 3. That's one tiny obscure thing that PSD can do that TIFF currently doesn't. How many people even knew that let alone use it?
    PSD used to be the preferred file format back before Adobe bastardized it for the Creative Suite. The moment that happened, PSD ceased to be a Photoshop "native" file format. PSB is the new Photoshop "native" file format for images beyond 30,000 pixels. And , at the moment, only Photoshop can open a PSB.
    Getting back to the fist point, Adobe can do anything including stopping support for PSD because it's a proprietary file format. TIFF is public, even if it's owned by Adobe (by virtue of the Aldus purchase). Even if Adobe went belly up tomorrow, TIFF would continue.
    And, let me be blunt, anybody who thinks PSD is "better" than TIFF is ignorant of the facts. If Adobe would let them, the Photoshop engineers would tell you to quit using PSD. Lightroom for the first beta did NOT support PSD and Hamburg fought tooth and nail to prevent having to accept PSD. He blinked, but you still can't import a PSD without Max compat enabled-which basically makes it a TIFF with a PSD extension.
    Look, I'll make it REAL simple...
    TIFF = Good
    PSD = Bad
    Ok?
    I hope this helps with your understanding of why ACR/LR has "difficulties" with PSD.

    If Photoline is a good photoshop alternative and is flexible the Photoshop CC.  Why then is Photoline not the Gold Standard of Image Processors. It more likely you use a small subset of Photoshop feature and Photoline feature cover the subset of Photoshop features you use. However I have seen you over in the scripting forum the last time I looked Photoline could not be scripted it only had action support.  Have you given up on scripting Photoshop?
    Photoline does not do any video or 3d stuff (well, there is some primitive 3d tool). Also, the brush engine for digital painting is not really comparable: it is more or less on par with the older Photoshop versions, before the updated brush engine. It is, however, compatible with most Photoshop brush libraries.
    So in this sense: yes, Photoline covers a subset of Photoshop: image editing. And in this regard it does an extremely good job, with tools that are mostly (95%) on par with Photoshop. Up till 14 months ago I used the full scope of functionality in Photoshop for professional photo work, web work, graphic design and 3d texturing. I have used it since version 3 in my work. In September last year I decided to stop using Adobe Photoshop for my work, as I discovered alternative tools that just work much better and are more efficient.
    In terms of workflow Photoline offers a much more streamlined and non-destructive layer stack. I used all of Photoshop's image editing features, and use most of the techniques described by Marguilis for image colour correction and enhancement. And Photoline's approach works BETTER than Photoshop for general and detailed image editing (in my opinion).
    For example:
    - no need to switch image mode when you wish to work with the curves in Lab mode. This is part of the curves: a neat dropdown allows me to work in RGB, Lab, HIS or HSV colour mode.
    - far better control of layer opacity and effect control due to a -200 up to +200 opacity slider. You can easily invert a layer's blend mode effect this way. Or double its effect
    - cloned layers update in realtime. And source layers can be moved to their own page. Multiple views can be setup, and changes in the source layers in one page update in realtime on other pages. Very handy to organize your work. Arguably works better than "smart objects".
    - layer masks act like regular layers. The amount of freedom this allows you in your workflow is staggering: group layer masks together, apply adjustment layers, layer effects - the sky is the limit. Completely non-destructive, and you can add as many bitmap and vector layer masks per layer as you want. And these can be cloned as well, and reused anywhere in your layer stack or pages!
    - and of course, any layer and layer mask can be individually set to 8/16/32bpc and any image mode.
    There is also no need to convert layers to smart object for them to work with non-destructive adjustment layers. Just apply them. Edit the contents in place - why force me to open a smart object in a new window that will not update in real time in the original comp? Just silly.
    Anyway, Photoline is Photoshop sans 3d and video. With a much improved layer stack workflow.
    Granted, the one thing really missing is scriptability, unfortunately. No scripting in Photoline. I have mentioned this lack of control to the Photoline devs, and hopefully they will address this in the future. At the moment I use ImageMagick for more complex batch image processing jobs instead, but I do hop this will be amended in a newer version of Photoline.
    For digital painting work I now use Krita - the brush engine in Krita is insane, and blows Photoshop's brush engine out of the water. As it happens, Krita applies the same layer paradigm as Photoline, so they feel like sister applications.
    For 3d painting and texturing work I generally use 3dCoat. Photoshop's 3d is pretty horrendous as it is, so I already moved away from that a long time ago.
    For web work Photoline is better than Photoshop, since I can work in pages. Optimization I do with freeware tools such as Color Quantizer. Photoshop's web export is rather bad, so additional tools are required to take care of proper optimization.
    Besides, the point I am making is this: Photoshop tries to be everything to everyone nowadays. It has lead to fragmented development, and at the same time it can never hope to be as good as specialized tools. More bugs are introduced due to bloat and legacy code that has to support extraneous features that are good, but not great (3d everyone?). At the same time less time is spent on the core functionality that made Photoshop so great in the past as an image editor. And it is starting to show.

  • Save as PSD no longer saves in compatibility mode

    When saving a psd file I can no longer save in "compatibility mode". I'm using a Mac computer with OSX (version 10.8.3)  and Photoshop CS6 (version 13.1.2 x64). I just noticed this problem tonight when I tried to bring a psd file into a MUSE project. Now whenever I save a PSD file the menu that asks if I want to save in compatibility mode doesn't appear (it just saves the file). I've reset the preferences and restarted my computer but Photoshop still doesn't give me a compatibility mode option when saving a PSD file.

    I'm saving multi layered files (not files with only a background layer) for import into Adobe Muse (normal, roll over, mouse down and active layers). My file handling for "Maximize PSD and PSB file compatibility" is set to ask but I did try changing to always when I started having issues and it didn't change anything. I'm pretty experienced with Photoshop so I've tried the obvious solutions. So far my only fix is to start my project form scratch and I'll be able to save the file correctly. I really think I've triggered a bug at some point in creating my project (changing the image size or something along those lines) because it doesn't always happen.
    Thanks for the suggestion, conroy.

  • When Scanning photos how do I save as PSD?

    When I go to File/Get Photos/from Scanner there is a dialog box that indicates "Save as:"
    The only choices are JPG TIFF PNG.
    I chose JPG and set it on the highest quality (12).
    Once the scan is complete, I then save as PSD.
    Why is PSD not a choice? Do I need to be concerned about the quality?
    When I scan using Photoshop CS I don't receive a similar dialog box. Should I continue to scan from Photoshop CS?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Try scanning from the Editor instead. You'll probably have different save options there. FWIW, TIFF is just as good as PSD in terms of quality.

  • Generate SSRS Report and save as PDF in SharePoint

    Hi,
    I am working on a SharePoint 2010 Visual WebPart that lets a user click a button to generata a SSRS report and save the report in a SharePoint Library as a PDF file.  Code is mentioned below:

    The WebPart works fine in my local server and even on another development testing server.  However, once deployed to the live server that has claims authentication it stops working and throws an error that says:

    If I open the report manually in SharePoint Site, it works fines it even works fine when try to view in a WebPart. 
    Can someone help me with this ?
    Regards, Vikram

    Hi Vicky,
    Based on the error message, it is related to the service account for reporting service.
    If the Report Server service runs under a built-in account such as NetworkService, the Grant database access option in SharePoint Central Administration will not work correctly.
    Configure the service account to run under a domain user account as follows:
    1. Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server.
    2. On the Service Account page, click Use another account, enter a domain user account, and click Apply.
    3. Click Web Service Identity, for Report Server, click New, type an application Restart the Report Server service.
    Here is a detailed MSDN article for your reference:

  • Can't save layered .psd files in Photoshop CS3

    Hello,
    I noticed yesterday that I can no longer save layered .psd files to any folder. What does get saved is only a generic file symbol.
    I'm using a Dell 8200 computer, 1GB of RAM, IntelPentium4 processer, Windows XP Professional,and a Canon MP780 multiple function printer.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    George Masi

    Is it saved incorrectly, or is the problem just that the icon is the generic one. In other words, can you A) click to open the file from the desktop. And, b) if you can't click from the desktop, can you open the file from within Photoshop, and see the layers correctly.
    If B works, and A does not, then this means your Windows has lost the association between PSD files and Photoshop. You can often correct this by right clicking the file, and choosing Open With, with the Always open with this program field checked. There is also a way to set the icons back up, but this is more complicated.

  • Could not save my_file.psd because the file is already in use or was left open by another app"

    Since some time ago I often get this message when trying to save my PSD file: "could not save my_file.psd because the file is already in use or was left open by another application", whereas there's no application that uses the file in reality. What could cause this problem?

    What could cause this problem?
    If I remember correctly posibilities include the OS, anti-virus software, … and if you work across a network you are basically on your own anyway as Adobe specifically discourages this.
    What are your OS, program version, …?

  • Why won't my trial of CC Photoshop let me save my PSD images as JPG or GIF?

    Why won't my trial of CC Photoshop let me save my PSD images as JPG or GIF?

    One thing to check is that your PSD is RGB/8 or /16, but not /32  (32 bits per channel)
    If that is not the problem
    Let's try this:
    Close Adobe Photoshop if it is opened.
    Find the following:   (windows user can hit windows key + r, then in run cmd line type "%appdata%" to locate your "AppData\Roaming" directory)
    \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Adobe Preferences CC Settings
    Rename the  "Adobe Preferences CC Settings" folder to "Adobe Preferences CC Settings_old"  so that preferences settings can be recreated.
    Reopen Photoshop CC and open a new or existing file to verify that your "save for web" option is back and not grayed out.

  • Save as PSD question

    Hi.
    Does anybody knows how to save doc as PSD with doc.saveAs() command but without compatibility mode to reduce file size?

    OK. It works and saveAs() function too. I just checked this. But only when a file contains layers or no background.
    It seems that this is photoshop feature, that when i save flattened PSD it losts its noncompatibility mode.
    And when i make it layered and save it again, it will be saved then with compatibility mode.
    It seems that this problem has no solution
    Sorry to bother you.

    I know there is a way to save a .psd to .jpeg but I cannot find it in Elements 10.  Help please!

    If you don't see JPEG in the Save As formats, you probably have a 16 bit file. Go to Image>Mode>8 bits/channel and then try.

    Does Photoshop Touch for iPad save in .psd?

    Yes, it processes RAW files (via Creative Cloud) and saves a .psdx to the Gallery, which again can be shared as jpg, png, psd or psdx.

  • Could not save "IMG_5116.psd" because write access was not granted.

    "Could not save “IMG_5116.psd” because write access was not granted." i keep on getting this error message     why/?????

    nimrod levy,
    It seems like a permission issue. Grant 'write and read' permission to the file.
    MAC : Right click on the file > click on "Get Info"
    scroll to the bottom "Permissions" >  unlock it > set permission as "Write and read" to all the users.
    Win: Right click on the file > "Properties".
    Uncheck "Attributes: Read only".
    Go to 'Security' tab >  'Edit'
    Give full control check all in "Alloy" column; uncheck all from deny column if any to all the users.
