Save as Photoshop 2, why

Hi, thanks for reading.
In CS5.5, there is still the option to save as photoshop 2.
Why would anyone want to do that?
What is the advantage?
Thanks so much,
Warmly, Hope

No advantage unless you actually have photoshop 2 or photoshop 1 and want to save your files (psds) so photoshop 2 or 1 can read them.
The photoshop 2 file format doesn't support layers and windows versions of photoshop can't read it and mac photoshop cc doesn't even have the photoshop 2 format as an option.
There may have been other adobe and non adobe applications that supported the photoshop 2 file format as well.
In other words, probably not really useful for modern computers and applications.

Cannot save using Photoshop

I am running 10.3.9 as well as 9.2.2 with Photoshop as a classic app. When trying to save using Photoshop I get the error "Cannot save due to a disk error". Removing Photoshop then re-installing it seems to work for a while but then it starts to happen again. Does anyone know why this is happeing and how to fix it. Thanks for the help!

Hi Again! The only other thing I can think of is either the disk has a problem and hence a write error or the permissions are messed up and it doesn't have the correct permission to write the file. Tom

Photos being displayed on screen saver are scrambled. Why?

After updating to Mountain Lion some of my photos being displayed on the screen saver are scrambled. Why? This is only started happening after we upgraded to Mountain Lion. In all instances, the effected photos are those that have been 'photoshopped' and then re-saved as a .jpg. However there are many of the photoshopped photos that display perfectly. The effected photos are okay in preview, iphoto and photomechanic.

It very well could be an extra data problem, but Preview is only allowing photos from a camera or scanner to be imported.
I'm essentially creating a screen saver slide show using photos from previous Christmas's. After importing the photo into photoshop, I added a visible date so the viewers would know which year the photo was taken. This slide show worked perfectly on our imac until we updated to Mountain Lion.
To create this slide show I took .jpg's imported into photoshop, added the image to a photoshop template with the text box (for the date), saved as a photoshop 'flattened' image, and then saved as a jpg. And like I said, prior to updating my machine to Mountain Lion, these 'enhanced' photos appeared in the screen saver perfectly, and now they don't.
The weird thing is that there are about 87 photos in this slide show and about 40 of these photos look just fine, the rest are scrambled and I can't figure out what's making the difference. The MB don't seem to matter either.

Weird problems in save window--Photoshop

Hi
Wasn't sure where to post this. I didn't get an answer when I posted this in Adobe forum so I thought I'd try here.
When I go to save in Photoshop and have the OS dialog box view, the inner window that shows the files and folders is missing. The outer info is there and I can save. When its in the Adobe dialog mode it does show up.
Any ideas?
Thanks

If you're not using any third party software for manipulating such windows (e.g. Default Folder etc.), it might be in the preferences files of PS.
Quit PS. Goto the Preferences folder (in the Library folder of your home folder). Drag the files named "com.adobe.Photoshop.plist","Adobe Photoshop 8.0 Paths" and a folder "Adobe Photoshop CS Settings" to the desktop and restart PS. See if it's gone.
As you've probably also lost all other settings now, you can try to put them back again, one by one, restart PS everytime and see what caused the issue.

In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

Save as Photoshop PDF Scratch disk locked?

I searched the forums, but apparently my issue only crops up when someone tries to launch PS. I can launch and do everything else just fine; however, I attempted to save as > PDF and received the scratch disk locked message. I can successfully save as PDF if I use the launch as admin option, but this seems odd since I can do everything else just fine without the need to do that.
Here are my steps:
Save as > Photoshop PDF
Click OK on "The settings you choose in the Save Adobe PDF dialog can override your current settings...."
I change [b]nothing[/b] in the Save Adobe PDF dialog. I simply click Save PDF.
Select Yes for "Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities" in the prompt.
Here is where I get the error message.
"Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file."
At this point, Photoshop does not crash or exit. It just simply will not save the file. This is the first time I've tried to save as PDF, so it could just be a user error > replace user situation. :d
I have tried the CTRL + Shift + Alt method of launching to wipe my preferences only to have the same result. My scratch disk is an internal drive used only as storage with 1.30 TB available.
Photoshop CS6 Extended
Windows 7 64bit
User account is an admin, but I have never had a need to launch PS as an admin specifically.
Thanks in advance.

Checked my permissions on C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings and everything is fine.
Taking that info and some google work I came across this: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS23B45D06-1977-4006-8BEB-2DBB08CA502Ea.htm l#WSA79FA899-BC95-401e-BD44-5B26BC31B369
Apparently, there should be PDF settings files in C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings; however, my folder was empty, but the article above also says to move them from an 'Extras' folder located within ProgramData. Copied the settings over, tried again, same result.
Am I supposed to have Acrobat installed for this to work properly? I don't have Acrobat, nor do I even use Reader (I use a different program for in-browser PDF).
//edit
Apparently it was in my settings on the PDF save dialog. I removed the settings that I moved over and tried again. This time I actually fiddled with the settings and used Smallest File Size instead of HQ Print, and that seemed to have worked. Messed with things some more, and narrowed it down to the Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities option. As long as that option is UN-checked, then everything works smoothly, including HQ quality.

My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
We need to know exactly what you did
And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
For reference after you get things working
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

I lose changes in the details when i open my photos from camera raw 7.0 to photoshop cs5, why?

I lose changes that I made with the tools in the "Details" section, just right after I open my photos from camera raw 7.0 to photoshop cs5, why? The changes that I made with the tools in the "Basic" section remain.

First, how and why are you using Camera Raw 7.0 with CS5?
ACR 7.x requires CS6 to run.
Even if that's a typo in your post and you are running CS6 instead of CS5, no one should be running ACR 7.0, but ACR 8.4 —or at the very least 7.4.
Once any given camera model is supported by a version of ACR, it will continue to be supported in all subsequent versions of ACR. Each update to ACR has unannounced, unheralded bug fixes and improvements. Running 7.0 at this point is sheer madness.
Please clarify.
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 and of Bridge, machine specs, 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, etc., someone may be able to help you.

How do I save a photoshop jpg as a "PictureViewer" jpg document?

How do I save a photoshop jpg image as a universal "PictureViewer" jpg document?

Just did some tests. And I am starting to understand a few things.
I was using Photoshop 6 on my old apple quad. Yes, I know, 12 year old stuff. I have just upgraded to Adobe CC application on my new mac.
When saving an image from photo shop as a jpg, I did not see, and still do not see, the picture viewer icon I am used to seeing on a jpg image from my old mac. Photoshop 6 saved jpgs only as photoshop jpgs.
I just ran some tests. Saved some logos and pictures as jpg’s from the new CC Photoshop. When I import them into my old mac, I see the Picture Viewer Icon. And when I click on any of these, it opens in Picture Viewer. Tells me you are correct. Photoshop is saving the jpg images as the universal Picture Viewer JPGs.
I guess I was expecting to see a "save as Picture Viewer” option from the Photoshop "save as" menu. And when I did not see the picture viewer icon for the new saved jpg image, I assumed it was still saving this as a photoshop jpg.
Thanks for prompting me to do some homework and test a few things out.
I thought that the new photoshop should be able to save jpgs in the picture viewer realm, but had to run a few tests to see the actual result on an older computer for this to sink in and recognize the result.
Thanks for your time and patience Silkrooster.

I am trying to save a photoshop CS6 psd file to jpg and get an option jpg, jpg2000 or jpg stereo, I choose jpg and then Mac 256 colours, normal or interlaced. I just want regular jpg with a high resolution. What am I doing wrong, never had this problem

Your description of the issue is not clear:
What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"? It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
If the image is a 256-color GIF, remember the rule: GIGO = garbage in, garbage out.

How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

Sorry, not possible in PSE itself. You'd need to put your photo into the web creation software you use. If you are using an older version of PSE some versions created web albums/galleries which included an index.html page, but that's as much as PSE does. There's nothing like that in PSE 12 since Adobe wants you to use Revel for photo sharing now.

Use iPhoto. What's the problem with iPhoto import? It's a two clicks job. Select your device and click import.

My bad. I thought you had an even older Mac Pro1,1 like mine, which will not run Mountain Lion. I should have payed closer attention to your RAM specs.
