I am having an issue with a paper that I cannot figure out! I created it in PSE like every other paper, then opened in PS7 to do a gamut check. I do the same thing every single paper/element, but with this one paper when I re-save it after correcting the color I can't open it again afterwards. The jpg preview doesn't show correctly, I can't open it in windows to view nor can I re-open it in PS or PSE. I have no idea what might be causing it. It was the last in a line of papers I did tonight and it is the only one that is having this problem.
I've tried opening the .psd in PS and saving from that to jpg....tried saving in a new location w/a new file name. Each time it's the same thing. It is something specific to PS because I can still open the .psd in elements and save as a jpg without issue.
Anyone else have this happen? Or have any idea what it might be?
I did once. I made sure everything is saved and restarted my computer. Opened the original. resaved it under a different name. Than saved it as a jpg. You may be running low on memory. Adobe is known to be memory hogs and we do not always remember that a good reboot to refresh the computer may be needed.
Thanks Judy. I ended up dumping it. The paper wasn't worth the headache it was giving me...haha! I made a new paper, ran through the exact same process and had zero issue with it. Not sure what that was all about.
If it happens again, I will give the reboot a try.
I had that issue once as well using a paper I created in PSP and running a gamut check in PSCS5. I ended up copying the layers of my paper into a new document and saving that and that seemed to remedy the problem, but it was very frustrating.
Photoshop issues ... if my hd is filling up it slows down and has issues ... you may want to check how much room you have. Last September/October I was in the red zone and if I hadn't checked I would have been dead lol .... I was at the point where my computer wouldn't shut down for a long time. That's what alerted me.
That is a good point Susan. External drives are great for saving everything downloaded. Copy files to your C: drive that will be used in a project. This will help save space on your drive.
If you are running a PC Windows uses free space like virtual memory and while running uses drive space, more than what it states in the file system. Each time you install another program, the program takes up space, but Windows also growes in size. It writes information about the program.
