Photoshop CS2 Problem…

slipd · 14 Oct 2006 at 22:55

Hey guys,

I’ve been doing a lot of photo editing of late, since getting my new camera and a big problem has cropped up in Photoshop…

Basically, I’m in the habit of finishing my pictures and then saving them to .jpeg/.gif via Photoshop’s “Save For Web” feature in the File menu.

But now, when I go to click ‘Save’ the program stops responding and I have to end it through task manager :mad:

I was using this feature on Wednesday and now I just tried to use it again this happens

So far I’ve tried to Repair the program and I’ve uninstalled/re-installed, re-applied updates etc, but still no joy. Also tried defragging the C:\ drive and error-checking but the problem remains…

Any ideas?

Thanks,

SW.

couldn't work it out, so ended up formatting!

Probably what I'll end up doing

What happens if you just wait and let it time out itself?

Going to try this now, but I'm pretty sure it just stops responding though - it used to come up with the Save box almost instantly.

is it installed to C:

Yep

Thanks for the ideas guys

Probably going to have to resort to another format though... That'll take me up to about 10 in the last two months! Had a bit of an issue with Media Player recently too

It worked

I was in the shower at the time so I didn't keep track of how long it took, but I just left it and when I got back the Save box was there! A couple of restarts later and it works instantly again?

Strange :confused:

what anti virus/ firewall software u using?

do u scan often?

do u partition drives? so keep c: for windows only and the then the rest lets say d: for progs and e: for games etc

Problem solved, but fyi:

NOD32 & Sygate.

Scheduled for once a week, on Friday

All my drives have single partitions.

Cheers,

After finishing your artwork in Photoshop have you tried?

"File, Save" this will save as a psd

then "File Save As" and choose jpg (it will have to be a copy)

then close your psd, open your jpg and then try "Save for Web"

obviously not the solution but you might be able to work around the problem.

I tried all manor of fix suggestions and save combinations, in the end I just let it time out and the Save box appeared! Now it's back to instant again

Cheers,
