Saving files in photoshop 6

every time i go to save a change i made to an already saved file, an error comes up saying, cant save file because of program error. how can i resolve the issue?

And to add to Curt's instructions, keep holding down those keys, until you get the dialog screen, to Reset the Preferences.
Good luck,

  • Significant problem saving files in Photoshop CS2

    I am running Photoshop CS2, with Windows Vista Home Edition.
    My problem is a new one, as Ive been running the program the exact same way since I bought it several years ago. Two weeks ago I bought an Intuos 3 tablet, and installed the software that came with it (including Corel Painter Essentials), and updated the drivers for Vista. After doing so, the appearance of my save menu changed in photoshop, but everything still ran properly.
    Yesterday when I tried to save a file that I had opened and modified (a photoshop file, not .jpg), Photoshop stopped responding. I did not receive any error message, the program simply froze, and refused to respond. I gave it more than five minutes before shutting it down. This has happened three consecutive times. I can save a new file, (using the save as function), but anytime I attempt to merely save (either using control-s, or by selecting save from the file menu) Photoshop stops responding.
    I have not edited any preferences or settings.
    I have lost a great deal of time and work over this, and am beyond frustrated. Any help would be very truly appreciated!

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, unfortunately I'm still experiencing the same problem.
    There was nothing off screen, escape did not help. I don't usually get a box when all I'm doing is saving (unlike using 'save as'). I haven't had any messages from Windows Error Reporting, and don't see anything in the System Event Log, but don't know exactly what I'm looking for as I don't access it regularly.
    I've ordered the CS4 upgrade. Should arrive this week.
    My new question is, should I uninstall my current configuration, install Photoshop Elements 6.0 (which came with my tablet), and upgrade that? Or should I leave it as is, and install the upgrade on my current configuration?
    Will CS4 fix my problem? Or will the problem merely transfer onto it?
    Any help greatly appreciated!

  • Saving files from Photoshop to Import into iMovie 09

    1. What is the best file format for saving images from Photoshop to bring into iMovie 09?
    2. What should the image size of the file be set to from Photoshop? I would like the best quality while working in iMovie prior to exporting and compressing after I am done editing.
    Thank you in advance.

    I see you have not marked your topic "Answered", so you may be hoping for some other suggestions. If your item 1 is intended to ask about file "type" (.psd, .jpg, .png, .tif, etc.), here is my suggestion.
    Because of the large file size of PhotoShop (PS) .psd image files, *unless you need to keep the PS version with Layers, Adjustments, etc*., _and unless you do NOT keep a separate folder of PS images_, I suggest that you NOT save the PS .psd file "format" (type) into iPhoto (or iMovie.)
    I keep all PS (.psd) image files that I want to retain in separate folders outside iPhoto. I also save the finished (PS) image as a .jpg or .png version which I import into iPhoto for easy import into iMovie via the media browser. Whether to use jpeg or png depends on the image quality I need.
    If you are capturing the snapshots that you are editing with PS from an iSight, other webcam, or a Flip camcorder, the jpg version will probably give you all the quality you need. However, to make your decision easier, you can save multiple file type (and compression settings) versions of the edited file when you are finished in PS. Then import all the various jpgs, pngs, tiffs, etc, into a test movie, lable (title) them for easy identification, save the movie, and see if you can tell any difference in quality or each image when you replay your test movie. If you can tell a difference, you can decide how much quality you need and match that need with the file type and size that gives the necessary quality level. If you cannot see a difference in the move regardless of which file type or compression level, you can save space by using the smallest image file.
    +re: your item 2:+ I have nothing to add to Karsten's expert comments on resolution and file size.

  • Saving Files in Photoshop

    I am working in Windows 8.1.  I have both Photoshop CS5 and CS6 on this computer.  When I am working in either version and get ready to save the file in Photoshop I get the message, "you do not have permission to save in this location. Must seek Administrator's permission.  I am the administrator and the only person who uses this computer. This is so frustrating.  I know it is in the settings somewhere but I don't know what to change.
    This computer is now out of warranty and HP will not help me for less than $149.00.  When the computer was in warranty I talked with one support tech and she changed the settings so I could save in Photoshop.  At some point in time and update, etc., has changed the settings and now I can't save files in Photoshop.
    Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Saving files in Photoshop CC Mac

    I upgraded to Photshop CC Mac and I'm having a problem saving files.
    My last version was PS5 and when I saved a file I could go to the drop down tab, there would be the name of my folder, click the folder and click one a file with a similar name and make my adjustments.
    Example: Folder 1>File name 1234 Red click on that file and change the name to 1234 Blue.
    Now I can't see the Folder and I have to manually enter the name of the product because I can't see the folder contents.
    Very time consuming.
    Any ideas?

    Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
    Is there a field with a downward triangle next to the name entry field?

  • Saving files in Photoshop CS6 Extended (Mac)

    I just got Photoshop CS6 Extended (Mac) and am unable to save files (eg .psd) as a .jpg -- if I select the JPEG option, although that is ticked, it appears in the filename above as .gif or .eps  WHY?? Also, why do I have to select 'Enable' and scroll down a huge list to 'All Readable Documents' before I can open, say, a JPEG?  I've never had to do this in previous versions (and I've been using PS since v.2 -- not CS2 -- !)  I am in RGB and 8-bit and the images are flattened. This is most frustrating. . .

    Restoring/trashing the Preferences can alleviate some unexplainable Photoshop problems, but make sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved before performing that routine.

  • Saving Files from Photoshop to Lightroom

    In LR 3 when I saved an image after editing in PS, the edited file showed up next to the original RAW file. Now in LR 4, the saved image is placed at the end of the folder. It there a preference somewhere that I can set to tell LR that I want it placed next to the original? I like to see them side-by-side and don't like having to go searching for the edited file.
    Thaanks.

    I don't think so. By sorting them manually (user order), you're effectively over-riding the capture time default , so it wouldn't be logical for it to sort by both at the same time, if you see what I mean. How would LR be able to figure out which files to sort automatically, and which ones to leave alone?

  • Photoshop CS6 – Error When Saving Files

    When saving files using Photoshop CS6 I randomly receive an error message that states 'Could not save image_name.tif' because of a program error'. Sometimes a save-as works but not guaranteed. The file is being saved to a mounted server volume and sometimes the only way to get the file on the server is to save to the desktop and then copy the file back to the server. The error message does not appear on any other Adobe applications, just Photoshop.

    Moved from the Creative Cloud to the Photoshop forum. They will be able to help you here.

  • A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore HELP

    Hi, please help with my issue which is as follows:
    A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore and sends a message saying that the file is not compatible.
    What should I do, I have invested so much in that file and I dont think i will be able to do it all over again.

    That's why people do incremental saves and use backups... You could try to open the file in an image viewer like IrfanView and see which parts are salvagable, but that's as good as it gets most likely...

  • Photoshop is Crashing when saving files

    Hello, I have been having some trouble saving files.  Sometimes, and usually with the first file, Photoshop will crash when I try and save a file.  It also happens when I try and open a file into photoshop.  Most specifically, when I try and open my watermark file (png).  I have deleted the preferences, and am working on a freshly installed version of Windows 7.  Here is the crash report I was able to retrieve.  I am usually not able to retreive this info, because in most cases, Photoshop just completely dissapears instantly.

    StackHash implies memory corruption.
    By and large, during software development, the number 1 reason I've isolated for that is problems in display drivers.  That's not to say it's the only reason memory could be corrupted, but it's more common than most people would think.
    What video card do you have, and what version of display driver?
    Does the problem persist if you disable OpenGL Drawing in Edit - Preferences - Performance (then restart Photoshop)?

  • Photoshop is saving files as corrupt

    Whenever i save a file on photoshop it corrupts the file. I can reopen it in the computer i saved it on, but the files are often distorted and look as though the channels are separated. When i tried opening them on another computer, it refused to open the photoshop file, saying "cannot open because file is not a valid photoshop document". what the heck is going on? i've lost about 3 days worth of work, all incrimented files, and i'm super frustrated.  (using cs6 on a macbook pro 17")

  • Photoshop CS6 stopped saving file extensions

    I am running PhotoShop CS6 on Mac Yosemite 10.10.2.  Photoshop suddenly stopped saving file extensions.  I can open the files saved on my computer, but others cannot because the file extension is missing.  Under preferences > file handling > append file extension, "always" is selected.  It doesn't matter which file format PSD, JPEG, PNG, etc., the file extension is not saved.  I have the capability to view the file, but if I send it to someone else, or if I save it to dropbox and download it back to my computer, the image cannot be viewed.

    Try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

  • Help. Photoshop CC14 on Mac 5k (2014) running Yosemite 10.10.1. Photoshop stops responding when I'm opening files, saving files or creating new ones. Is anyone suffering the same problem? Does anyone have an answer?

    Help. Photoshop CC14 on Mac 5k (2014) running Yosemite 10.10.1. Photoshop stops responding when I'm opening files, saving files or creating new ones. Is anyone suffering the same problem? Does anyone have an answer?

    First, go install the MacOS 10.10 updates - you should be on 10.10.2.
    I haven't heard of Photoshop not responding during opens and saves.  Does it stop responding while the open/save dialogs are visible, or while Photoshop is actually reading or writing files?
    10.10.1 did fix a crash in the open/save dialogs, but 10.10.2 still has some odd issues (mostly program errors coming from the OS code) in the open/save dialogs.

  • Cropped in Photoshop but saved file can't be seen in iPhoto browser??

    iPhoto Preferences > General > Edit photo: > in Adobe Photoshop CS4
    When I open an image in iPhoto, and right click to open in external editor, then crop the photo and Save As, the cropped image does not show up when I browse iPhoto. When I command-click the title of the PS file, however, it shows me that the cropped file actually exists inside the exact iPhoto folder where the original picture is.
    I am having trouble understanding the basic idea of how iPhoto's library works and how PS CS4 interacts when you save an image.
    I want to keep using iPhoto as my one and only library, but this kind of behavior is crazy making. Can someone shed some light, or point me towards the right thread?
    Thanks!

    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop 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..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    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.

    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
