Dear all, until now the best answer is tha one of philiph429864: Hi hcrespob, though I have still not found a solution to this problem, I have found a way around it. ¨So, if you're planning on editing a photo, copy the photo to a new folder (just to avoid making unchangeable edits to the original file). Then, open photoshop, on the menu bar select 'adobe photoshop elements 11 editor', and select preferences, and then general from the dropdown menu. A window will open. Here select "saving files". Change "On first save" to 'Save over current file'. This allows you to save any edits you have made over the file you have open. Its not a solution to the problem however. If you choose save as, the program will freeze once again. Also, though you can finally save files again, you cannot rename them, or change the file type within adobe photoshop - incredibly annoying!!!¨ And that's what I'm doing!
