"Save/Save As" Causes CS3 Photoshop to Quit

Hello!
I have had no problems up until today, while trying to save a JPEG file I was working on. I trashed prefs and tried disabling Version Cue, but that didn't work so I reinstalled Photoshop. No luck. I'm on a MacBook Pro running OS X Lion 10.7.3. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, I didn't save a copy of the crash report. The good news is that the Save/Save As is working again. Yay!
I used Disk Utility to see if Repair Disk Permissions would help. It didn't, but I noticed the log pointed to problems associated with Javascript. I don't know if that has any relation to the problem.
I think you are right that it was an Apple system problem. I couldn't think of anything else to do, so I re-downloaded the latest Apple software upgrades. After restart, Photoshop was behaving normally again.

CS3 Photoshop quits

CS3 Photoshop exits (quits) when I attempt to open an .eps that was created from a Quark document.
Any way to resolve?

all of a sudden, i have started having problems with photoshop cs3. it crashes every time i try to launch the program. it crashes at 'building twain menu items'. i have uninstalled and reinstalled the software a number of times. i have downloaded the photoshop cs3 update patches but . . . i know that cs3 is old but up until june 2011 it was working fine. i have not installed any new software except i did get a new printer – epson – but i was able to use photoshop after that. i would really appreciate some help as i need to use photoshop and am not able to purchase the new cs5 version right now.
any help would be great!

Save as DNG in Photoshop when editing from Lightroom

When transfering from Lightroom 2 to Photoshop CS3 (Windows) and after editing as a smart object in Photoshop how do I save the file back into Lightroom as a DNG file

You cannot save DNG files from photoshop. This is because DNG lacks the support for the features you need.

I often receive photos as attachments to emails.s there Ian easy way to save them directly to Photoshop Elements? Or do I have to save and then import?

Well... I appreciate both of your responses. However... I believe that lvlibs cause more frustration then anything else. My team has come across issues with lvlibs and conflicting paths (when using CM tools) and have resorted to using LLBs because they offer a clean set of file dependencies. I understand that lvlibs are probably more robust, but they are not an option right now. Therefore... the question I originally asked still remains. Is there a quick and easy way to add a bunch of VIs to an LLB without having to save each one of them separately to the LLB?

When saving, try "Save As" but make sure "Include preview in document" is NOT selected.

Is there a way to save a table in Photoshop (that was created in InDesign) without fuzzy text?

I am trying to save a table in Photoshop that was created in InDesign for web use. When I save it as a png (can't save as pdf or jpeg due to limitations with our company's website), the text appears fuzzy (pixelated?). Is this because the table is getting flattened/rasterized?
Is there a different adobe product that can be used to avoid this happening? The company who has built our website has a style editor that has limited capabilities. We have tried using the website's editor to create the tables; however, the editor lacks the flexibilty and user-friendliness that comes with InDesign. That is why we opted to create the tables in Indesign.
In order to upload the table into the editor, the file must be saved as a png, so that is why we are creating in InDesign and then saving the table in Photoshop.
Any ideas?
Thank you for the help!
Tracy

Thanks for your help!
Just to clarify, are you suggesting going through the export process while in Indesign? I did that and saved the table as an EPS file, then proceeded to open it, trim, and save as png in Photoshop. I noticed it lost it's white background when I reopened it in Photoshop; the table appeared with a transparent background (which isn't a big deal). When I uploaded the png in the website it doesn't appear to be as blurry, so that did help.
Thank you for the suggestion!

I've doubled my RAM but still can't save big files in photoshop...

I have just upgraded my Ram from the shipped 4GB to 8GB but I still can't save big images in photoshop. It seems to have made no difference to the speed of general tasks and saving and I can't save big files in photoshop at all. I already moved massive amounts of files off my computer and onto my external hard drive, so there is much less in my computer now, and twice the RAM but it is making no noticeable difference. When I click memory, under 'about my mac' it shows that the RAM is installed and now has twice the memory. Could this be something to do with photoshop? I'm running CS6.

Also, I just calculated 220 cm into inches and this is roughly 86.5 inches. Over 7 feet in length.
WIth an image that large, you may want to consider down sampling to a lower DPI to help with being able to work on and process images of this size much easier and it will be easier for your Print house to process, as well.
You might want to consider working with these rather large images at 225 DPI instead of 300 if resolution at close distances is still a concern.
Or what you good try is working with the images at 300 DPI, but then save them/export them as a Jpeg image at the highest image quality setting.
I do a lot of project where I use a high resolution jpeg image to save on image proceesing overhead.
The final printed images still come out pretty clear, clean and crisp without having to process those large files at a print house or having to deal with using that full resolution image in a page layout or illustration program.

Can't 'save for web' in photoshop cc on new mac (yosemite)

I have just upgrade to a new Mac running Yosemite and I can now longer save for web in Photoshop CC
I get an error "no file or directory can be found"
I have notice that in one of my Actions the directories are different on each computer:
on my new computer the directory is shown as:
"in: /Users/myusername/Desktop/"
on my OLD computer (that works) the directory is show as:
"in: Macintosh HD:Users:myusername:Desktop:"
I'm wondering if this is related to my issue when saving
I have spent a lot of time searching and trying different solutions... none have worked

Exit Photoshop CC.
Try deleting the SFW Prefs. It's in this directory:

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.

Why can't I save my GIF in Photoshop CS5?

When I click 'Save for Web and Devices' the window pops up and it starts to load. But then the image goes red. If I click save it says I don't have enough memory to save the image or Photoshop just forces closed. Please help me fix this! What is going on?!

We need to know the exact source of the file and what system you're on. Could simply be an unresolvable compatibility issue/ unsupported format.

Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

So could I take everything off my external hard drive, save it to my Mac, then re-format it for my Mac and move everything back to the external hard drive?
Yes. Keep in mind that you need to back up all data, including the data on an external drive. So if you're going to use the external drive to store original data, as opposed to backups, then you really need another one to back up the first one. You also need to back up the data on your internal drive, of course. This isn't optional. You must do it, or you'll lose everything sooner or later. All disk drives fail eventually, often with no warning.
If I do that how do I format the external hard drive for my Mac?
Launch the Disk Utility application and search the built-in help for "erase."
Would it be easier to just buy a external hard drive that is for a Mac?
All external hard drives work with Macs. Some might come pre-formatted for use with Macs, but it only takes a few minutes to do that yourself.

Option for Photoshop CS6 to Automatically Save a TIFF or Photoshop RAW?

I was wondering if there is setting so when you save a picture file, Photoshop will automatically save a copy of the the image in TIFF or RAW format to prevent the loss of picture quality when it is saved as as JPEG. I have one photo editing software that when I saw an open image for the first time, it automatically creates a digital native folder for me with the RAW or TIFF file in it. Can Photoshop do the same thing and if so, how please? T hank you! Kirsten

What version of Camera Raw are you currently using? You need at least version 8.3 but the latest version is 9.
