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

    This info saved hours of work for me. Simplest and quickest solution. I was then able to restart Photoshop and my computer to avoid any future problems.

    I swear, that's all I did: select the background, then deselect it. Maybe a coincidence? I have no idea...

    This problem was happing to me just now. I'm working on a single layer with all other layers unchecked; the layer also has a mask.

    I couldn't save and got the same error message. I randomly checked the background layer, then unchecked it. And was able to save. Weird!

    I'm dealing with this right now. I'm taking a Photoshop class right now and although I'm fluent in Illustrator, I'm finding out that's not helping me much with Photoshop. I checked the box they suggested, it wasn't checked. I texted my professor, so hopefully she'll have an answer for me in the morning. I just bought this software tonight!

    I found a way to save my PSD which encountered this issue. I changed the mode to 16bits per channel. Saved. Then converted back to 8, and I was able to re-save without any issues. It didn't affect adjustment layers, layer styles or anything else. Hope this helps somebody else

    I know Mr. Chris, But this is just an option for them who trying to find a solution about the photoshop error. I posted this answer here because I found this post on the first page for the error could not save :). So, I thought someone may be rich to this page and found this answer who are using older versions.

    Thank you very much Mr. Chris.

    Photoshop hasn't included ImageReady for many years - so that really isn't an option for anyone using a recent version of Photoshop.
