P: Program error when saving, lag when zooming, changes not reflecting in document window (macOS)

Since the 22.1 update, MAJOR bugs:

- ‘could not save because of a program error’ when saving, work around: hiding a few layers or folders.

- major lag when zooming in

- actions and changes delay in showing, to the point where they never show up - once I close the document and quit Photoshop and go back in the changes are  visible.

 

what’s going on??

 

Working on MacBook Pro 2017 (8g memory) running Big Sur

Happy this trick is still helping people out.
At the same time, it's unfortunate that the trick still needs to be used at all, and Adobe hasn't worked it out...

Does this happen all the time, or just on certain types of files?

You have a very, very old version of Photoshop. The Generator plug-in wasn't around at that time. If you're getting the message in CS2, it could be related to a number of issues with the software. You'll also have to tell us what OS, what your basic computer specs are, (video card, RAM, etc) if you've tried trashing preferences, and anything else you've done to try to fix the problem.

This fix did nor work on my version of cs2. There is no option for enabling or disabling generator. Need to be able to save my work. How can I fix this?

Hello All, 
i have been running Photoshop 7 for a while now with no difficulty on a Win8.1 platform with 10Gb of RAM.
Was reducing image size on a few photos -professionally taken- and all but 1 would save after the size reduction.

Had to save it as a tiff file, bring it into another program and then re-save it as it's native .jpg.

The oddity here is all the photos came from the same source, only one refused to save due to...Program Error.

Does anyone know what happens here?
As i have a work around i am not crippled but it would be great to know the reasons for the errors.

thx.

Si estan trabajando en un tamaño de imagen considerablemente grande más una resolución alta de más de 100 pueda que al querer salvarlo en JPEG de este error, lo mejor sería bajar la resolución con la opción de poder dejar siempre el tamaño de imagen que necesitamos.
