[SOLVED] GIMP is unable to save an PNG

Hello,
when I try to save an PNG within GIMP I get the following message:
Saving '/home/alex/test.png' failed:
Error while saving '/home/alex/test.png'. Could not save image.
This is my commandline output:
libpng error: known incorrect sRGB profile
(file-png:5692): GLib-WARNING **: (gerror.c:390):g_error_new_valist: runtime check failed: (domain != 0)
I reinstalled gimp and deleted my profile, but it didn't work.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Greetings
Alex

I've been having the same problem for a while now, since the libpng update a couple of weeks ago.
The day before the update, I was able to open a png, apply changes to compression, interlacing, etc., and export it to the same filename, overwriting the original. (Not the best workflow, I know)
After the update, the export would just simply blank out (0KB) the original file and give the same error message.
libpng error: known incorrect sRGB profile
Here's an example of a png file that does not work - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/937 … rabian.png (107 KiB)
My workaround was to convert the colour profile to Adobe RGB, open it in Gimp and convert it back(?) to sRGB.
It doesn't seem to happen with every png though, just mostly the ones that I needed for actual work on a website (they are all from the same graphics guy).

[SOLVED]Gimp can't open png files

Hi,
since couple of days Gimp throws me an error when trying to open png files:
GIMP Message
Opening '/home/kleskjr/Documents/docs/kopenhagen/visa_ping.png' failed: Failed to run plug-in "file-png"
GIMP Message
Plug-in crashed: "file-png"
(/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-png)
The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.
I am using gimp-devel from the AUR.
Is there somebody experiencing similar problems?
cheers!

There was an update to libpng, and all aur packages that depend on it (such as gimp-devel) must be rebuilt.
Eh ... if you really wanted to know if someone else was experiencing similar problems, you would have looked at recent threads on these forums - and if you had done that, you would have seen much activity relating to libpng.

Still unable to save bookmarks in Safari 5.1.2 - any clues?

Starting with Safari 5.1.1 on Lion I have been unable to save any bookmarks after an initial few hours running when it has been possible. I had hoped that the new release of Safari 5.1.2 might have cured the problem, but it doesn't appear to have done so.
I've followed all the suggestions on various posts and cleared the numerous plists and caches. This results in being able to save bookmarks in the normal manner, but only for a few hours or so. The next time I open Safari I find that I am once again unable to save any bookmarks without going through the whole rigmarole of exporting the bookmarks, trashing all the Safari preferences, restarting Safri and importing all the bookmarks once again.
It's great if you have the time and the patience, but my patience is wearing very thin by now.
Does anyone have any definitive solutions to this problem, which happens on all my Macs running Lion and Safari 5.1, thus ruling out a problem with just one Mac?

Unable To Save Quark XPress File In Mac OS 10.2.8

I have been trying to save a layout I created using Quark XPress 6.1 on an iMac with a 10.2.8 OS. When I first created the document, I was able to save it with no problem. However, after I had done some more work on it, I tried to save the changes -- but all I got was a message that said "Cannot find required volume or folder [-35]." The folder I have been trying to save it to is still there. I then tried using Save As to save it in a different location or under a new name -- but then I get an "Unknown error [-51]."
I tried to solve the problem by consulting Help, but all I was able to find is that apparently the error is occurring with the OS, not with Quark XPress.
I spent hours working on this document and will be sick if I am unable to save it. Can anyone possibly help me? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

Unable to save exported Aperture TIFFs as jegs when opened in Photoshop

I'm using the latest version of Aperture and need to do major retouching of the images I have edited using Aperture. When I "export versions" of the images, I normally choose "TIFF-50% of size" or "TIFF - fit within 1024x1024", but when I open them with Photoshop, after I worked on them I am unable to save them as a jpeg. The option just doesn't come up.
The only save options I am offered are - SAVE AS - Photoshop, Cineon, Dicom, FXG, IFF Format, Large Document Format, Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, PNG, Portable Bit Map or TIFF.
Any idea why this is happening and how I can rectify? I need to use photoshop for my retouching and I don't want to have to export RAW files from Aperture, it's much simpler exporting a TIFF.

The tiff is a 16 bit file. Go to images/on the photoshop menu and convert to 8 bit. then the jpeg option will show up.
Cheers

Unable to save a 'smallest size file' pdf from illustrator 5.5

We recently insalled Adobe Standard 5.5
I often save PDF files from Illustrator using the built in PDF options available from the PDF drop down menu bar when saving files. Usually I will save a visual as a 'smallest file size' or make use of the 'high quality print' option for other files etc.
Why cant I do this on CS5.5?
In addition, the colour is not acurate at all!
Please help

Hi Scott - I found the following thread on the net. So I had a look on my time machine back-ups and copied the files from there, which I then pasted into my Settings folder as you suggested.
Ta da!! All working again!
Any idea how I could restore these settings from a backup?
Thanks!
The PDF presets reside in Root/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/
After I had installed 10.6.5, 6 preset files were removed from the Settings folder. The folder tree itself remained, it was just that some of the contents of "Settings" were deleted. I have fixed the problem by copying the deleted settings files from a backup.
These are the files which were deleted:
Smallest File Size.joboptions
Press Quality.joboptions
PDFX4 2008.joboptions
PDFX3 2002.joboptions
PDFX1 2001.joboptions
High Quality Print.joboptions
These files were not deleted:
Standard.joboptions
PDFA1b 2005 RGB.joboptions
PDFA1b 2005 CMYK.joboptions
Oversized Pages.joboptions
Somebody at Adobe community support for Indesign directed me to restore these files from a backup, which solved the problem.

Unable to Save After Editing

Ok, so I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard on a Windows 8 operating system and I am having the slight problem that I am unable to save a document after editing it. If I change the colour of text in a pdf and then attempt to save it, Acrobat stops responding and will not save. I have been getting around this by shutting Adobe down using task manager, recovering the document, and then saving the recovered document; amazingly, this works fine! However, the last time I tried this, Adobe failed to recover the document, so this is not a viable solution. I have searched extensively online and have not found a solution to this problem. I have attempted unchecking enhanced security, but this has not worked. I am starting to understand that Adobe support is of a very poor quality, but perhaps some other Adobe user can help me. If there are Adobe employed moderators on this site, please look at this issue: being unable to save an edited document renders Adobe Acrobat completely useless for the purposes of my organization and, after all, we paid for this program. If this problem cannot be solved I will encourage my own organization and anyone with whom I confer on the subject to try other software, as Adobe is clearly inadequate.

What exact version of Acrobat do you have?
Does it work if you try to save the file under a new name?

Error:- The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again.

Hi,
I have SP 2013 intranet sites.
I am trying to edit the list item in site and getting the error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
I read many article on this forum. to chck web.config file, to restart
“SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” But no help.
Still i am getting this. what could be the reason now.
Please provide the resolution. I am trying to resolve this from last two days.
Thanks,

Normally, there's something wrong with the form responsible for editing list items. Is it customized? If not, you could use the free SharePoint Designer tool to delete the current form, create a new one (wait some time before caching issues are solved)
and you should be good to go. If it is customized, contact the team responsible for managing it.

Unable to save changes to Interactive form

Hi All
       I am designing an Interactive form in the WD Java application. This form is in DC which belongs to TRACK1.
      After making changes to the form I try to save the changes by clicking "Save All Metadata" but that has no effect. when i close the form and reopen it, the all changes made are gone.
      From some threads i got that Interactive form should not be kept blank. But even after assigning all the attributes to Form I am unable to save the changes to PDF.
      While as changes made to PDF in another DC belonging to TRACK2 are getting saved.
      Does that mean the track in perticular has to be given some perticular authorization? or does that depend on authoriztions of userid which created the track?
Please help me in resolving this issue
Deepak Salokhe

Hi Amita
actually when i tried to modify the XDP file, i found that for all DCs in that particular track no XDP file has been generated. also that the templateSource property of the InteractiveForm UI Element is blank while as it should point to the template on file system.
i checked the SAPNote 822198 as suggested on this thread Link: [Adobe Document Server issues - cannot save metadata of interactive form UI; but it has not solved my issue.
can you please suggest wat the issue might be??

Unable to Save Pictures to Device After 10.2 Update

After the Verizon update to 10.2, I am unable to save pictures received via MMS to the device. The screen dims like it is going to work, but after a (too long) delay the screen returns to where I was before viewing the picture. On the plus side, it does allow me to share, and after doing this a few times, the suggestion comes up to my email so I can email the pictures to myself and at least I have access to them on my computer.
As expected, my testing shows the same problem with pictures received via BBM and via eMail.
Since the 10.2 update, EVRYTHING runs in super slow motion, and leads an inpatient user to think the phone is hung up. In this case I'm sure that this is an error, not a delay because I have waited and waited for the function to work properly.

Have you tried rebooting the device by removing the battery?

Since updating to OS X Yosemite, I am unable to save files into another computer or server. I have to save it on my desktop and then drag it into the server. How do i correct this?

Ok this worked to solve the error.
Use cmd prompt in windows 7 or 8 and run as admin:
sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
No need for all that power shell nonsense as shown elsewhere for windows 8.
That's it. Also force smb2 disabling on the apple side for good measure.
With the above I was able to network mavericks and windows 8.1 pro flawlessly. He issues I had before where I could not read video, ISO and audio files (but could open documents and pictures from the windows machine connected to an apple network share folder went away.
