Trouble saving Photoshop CS3 files to server

I've recently upgraded to Leopard v. 10.5.2, and now I'm having trouble saving any sort of file through Photoshop CS3 to my company's server. Even after opening the file from the server, when I try to save it, I get an error message saying I do not have the privileges to save the file. And I've saved the file to my desktop, and tried dragging it to the server folder, and I get a slightly different message, but with the same problem.
I can save jpegs that weren't created with Photoshop, but not vice versa. My other CS3 programs save files like normal. It's just Photoshop.
One way I've found to get around the problem is to email the file to myself, and then transfer them to the server. But this is an annoyance. Thanks for any help.

I would like to know how Adobe can make their uses download the OS X 10.5.3 update without sorting out the photoshop bug. Why should we not be able to save our files directly onto reliable servers. You would think that by now the concept of saving a file to a network disk would have been solved. Saving directly on servers worked flawlessly for me - why not now? I have never had this problem before until this OS X 10.5.3 update. This is appalling as designers save their photoshop files onto a server so that other designers may access their files. Yeah I will now work locally and transfer the files across. Last night I realised that I could not open many files that I had worked on during the weekend - I have lost hours of work and am feeling pretty devastated. How can Adobe not even warn their customers about this problem!!!! Don't fob your customers off. This is HUGE BUG - I've paid for my software so fix it!
I wonder how many designers have this problem and don't even know. Abode should be letting their customers know about this BUG before they have to find out themselves after having lost irreplaceable work.

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

Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi
Colour Profile: sRGB IEC61966
Multi business licence for CS3 and CS6 Design Standard/Premium/Master Collection all on PC
Please Help!

Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

Saving a CS3 file to edit in Photoshop 6

I'm working in Photoshop CS3 and sending files to a client who has Photoshop 6. She is able to open - but not edit the files. (On her end, the layers appear as one flattened layer) On my end, Photoshop/Preferences/File Handling/"Maximize PSD Compatibility" is set to "Ask" and was selected when prompted while saving the files). What can I do to make the files editable in her version?

How about type-layers?
Could You post a screenshot of the Layers Panel?
Anyway, You might want to check this out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop_release_history
and see if You can figure something out.

Saving Photoshop CS4 file for Photoshop CS3

Hello
How should I save a Photoshop CS4 file so that a client running Photoshop CS3 can open it? In other words is Photoshop CS4 backwards compatible with Photoshop CS3?
Marlene

Just save it. but keep in mind that any CS4 features that you may have used will not be available in CS3.
Always save with maximize compatibility on.

Photoshop CS3 - files are locked to 1 user after editing

Hi there,
Our setup is the following:
6 Mac OS X 10.5.8 clients with Adobe CS3. The images reside on a shred folder hosted on Mac OS X 10.5 Server. SC3 users are in an ACL group that has read/write permissions to all the shared files.
The issue we have is the following: One user opens an image and edits it in Photoshop, then saves changes and closes it. All other users who subsequently try to edit the file get the message "The file is locked. Use "get info" command in finder to unlock it". When you use the "get info" command as suggested - the "locked" tick box is greyed out and it says "you have read and write access to this file" - but you do not. The user who originally edited the file does not experience this issue, but everybody else does.
I first though it was an Mac permissions issue. So I tested by putting text documents in the abovementioned shared folder and then editing them as different users - no problems there, so it seems this issue is related to Photoshop.
Any advice on this problem would be appreciated. Also has anyone experienced the similar issue with CS5? As we are thinking about upgrading.
Many thanks in advance

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Disappearing Photoshop CS3 Files

A week ago, a user was working on a file in Photoshop and the file literally disappeared. No trace of it in Spotlight, yet it was there in "Open Recent", but still not found. Now, three more users have the same issue. They know they saved their files, and when they went to come back for it, it was not there.
Just to see what was happening, I created a file, saved it as test_file.psd. It saved - yee-hah. After modifying it once more, I wanted to save it again, overwriting the original file, but did not let me. Here's the funny part - I had to "Save As", which is fine, but when I went to look for the original file, it was NOT there!
These files are literally disappearing. Here's the set up: Mac OS10.4.11 client, network accounts to an Xserve 10.4.9 server. This problem has just started happening within the week.
ANY suggestions are appreciated, and thanks in advance!

"Unknown Error" Message when saving Illutrator CS3 file

I get this unknown error message when attempting to save an illustrator file.(CS3). I tried to open and then save several files with the same resulting error message. As a work around, I have reverted to working in CS2 until I can get this resolved.

Chris -
Thanks for your quick response.
Do I understand you correctly in saying that Photoshop CS3 has PostScript information that it routinely sends to a printer, and therefore I would need to have a PostScript compatible printer inorder to work with this information (and also for my ColorMunki calibration to work)?
Based upon what you said, I think my color problems are because the ColorMunki profile for my printer, paper, & ink combination are being ignored.

Imageready cs2 to photoshop cs3 file conversion

hello;
when opening a Imageready file with rollovers in Photoshop CS3 you only get the "normal state"
anybody knows of an app or plugin that would convert all old rollover states in a way PS CS3 understands?
thanks
Alex

"Will there ever" is a loaded question Apple rarely comments on future product releases, and anyone that would know wouldn't be able to comment.
So it's not possible to say if future dodge & burn (or other plugins) can work without rendering a TIFF file.
As far as "multiple file formats" though -- it shouldn't really be something you need to worry about (other than the fact that the TIFF takes up some disk space). You can export to JPEG from the original or the version, and Aperture will track the files together.

Exporting from Aperture to Photoshop CS3- file format

If I have my files in raw CR2 format in Aperture 2.1 and I then go to the edit the image in photoshop CS3 will it remain in the raw CR2 format or does it convert it to a tiff file automatically?
Currently I have PS CS2 and it converts to a tiff file when I go edit in photoshop however I thought this may be beacuse PS CS2 does not support raw files from my Canon 40D, PS CS3 does though.
Incidently the same thing happens when I use the dodge and burn tool in Aperture 2, it conversts to Tiff format.

Q: Error message when printing Photoshop CS3 file

I get an error message when I try printing a CS3 photo on my Epson C86 printer, and the resulting print has the wrong colors and luminance levels.
Error Message = "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer."
Any ideas for how to work through this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Trouble installing Photoshop CS3

I've just recently had a clean install on my Apple iMac. I'm now re-installing all the software that I need. I'm having a problem installing Photoshop CS3. I have the folder, the serial number, and its on the list of products registered with Adobe. How do I install?

If your lucky, using the photoshop cs3 unistaller in the Applications>Utilites>Adobe Installers>Add or Remove Adobe Photoshop CS3
might work for unistalling cs3.
Then doing a fresh install from the dvd or downloader installer might work.
If not, then you'll have to download and run the CC Cleaner Tool
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Then search around on your hard drive (check especially hard drive>library>application support adobe, as well as Applications)
and remove all the bits you can find, then reinstall from your original installation media.
Do you have any later versions of photoshop like cs4 already installed?

Trouble updating Photoshop CS3 & Elements 6

I am running Windows XP. I have Photoshop Elements 6 and Photoshop CS3 newly installed. When I try to run, from either program, "Help, Updates..." everything seems to be okay at first but before the update installation is complete I get a window titled "Installation Incomplete" and the instructions in the window direct me to "shutdown the following application: PhotoshopElementsFileAgent.exe" When I go to TaskManager I can't find that program listed in either the Processes tab or Applications tab.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Never mind, I did some more searching and found the info I need. Thanks!!

Thank you, Barb, for trying to give me the procedure for a fix. But, this one is not it. That link does not apply to Error Code: U44M1I210. It is a different error code. In the hopes that the one you refered to might also fix my problem, I followed the directions and found that the properties of the InstallLocation were already correct.
So, I'm still looking for a fix. BTW, I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, on an HP quad-core desktop. My HP laptop updated just fine--both Photoshop and Premier Elements, which leads me to think it is something with this machine. A search on Adobe Community for Error Code: U44M1I210 turned up nothing relevant.
