Hello everyone,

I have an issue saving PSD file on my macOS Catalina (10.15.4). I purchased iMAC this year, i did face this issue in the begining now i face this issue frequently and I am able to save jpeg file.

When I try to save .psd file, there's a message saying :

"Could not save as “filename.psd” because the disk is full.."

But i have plenty of hard disk space in my iMAC and scratch disk is not full. Pls check the below Screenshots. Is there any fix for this issue???

Hello, did you try saving as a PSB?

Are you running Ps 21.1.2?

It is a moderately large file, do you have many layers, or content that extends below the edges?

Are you well trying to save to the local disk?

Thank you for the screen shots showing detailed disk space. Please could you try leaving the “disk is full” message on screen (without clicking OK) and check the free disk space again? It’s important to know whether Photoshop has for some reason filled the disk, or whether the message is just not true.

There are lot of free space. To nail down the issue i tried saving small image as psd, it didn't work for even 92 MB .psd file. Pls check the screenshot.

Hi,

Can you please check the document dimension? If the document dimension are in inches and you have a high value like 1000 x 1000 asigned you will get that error because the corresponding size in pixels would be too high for your computer to process.

If the above is the case for you then please change the metric to pixels and enter the width and height size and try.
