P: Photoshop (Beta 26.8) does not save file if Camera Raw plugin is on Smart object

The current version of Photoshop (Beta) is useless. When I use the new action panel, & the new make subject pop action, then try to save the image as a PSD or TIFF with layers, all I get is an error message. So unable to save all my work. 

I can't do that since I uninstalled 26.8 and reinstalled 26.7.  However, it was the version you posted as an update to 26.7 this morning (Friday, 5/23/2025)

Hey all, one thing that would really help is if you can share WHAT version of 26.8 you are seeing this issue in.

To do that, open Ps Beta and go to Help/SystemInfo..

Copy and past JUST THE FIRST LINE.  It should read something like this:

Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.8.0 20250521.m.3082 b535130 arm64

Hi all, we see this as well and have passed it on to the team to investigate.

As suggested, rolling back to 26.7 might fix this as a workaround for now.

Thanks,

I removed PS Beta V26.8 and reinstalled PS Beta V 26.7.  IT WORKS!!!!!!

I tried one other thing.  I opened a file that I created in Photoshop (Beta) yesterday.  Beta V26.8 would open the file and present everything as it should be.  I immeditately tried to use Save As to save the file to a new file name.  I received the same error message.  Kind of looks like someone forgot to run a critical part of the validation test suite.

version: 26.8 2025.0521.m.3082

OS: mac 15.5

Desktop: Mac Mini M4 Pro 24G memory

Steps to reproduce: 

1. open .psd file

2. make any kind of alteration

3. File>Save (not work)

4. File>Save AS... (not work)

Error msg: "Could not save <file> because of a program error"

Editing a .jpg file does not produce the same error.

A similar thing is happening to me in Beta V 26.8.  When I try to save the file as a PSD I get an error message

 Clicking OK takes me back to the file where I can do more editing.  I was able to save the file as a JPG which really doesn't do me any good.  I checked that none of the folders and files were Read Only.  I also tried temporarily deleting several of the layers and then saving, but I had the same result.  Removing the Smart Filters produced the same result. A layered Tiff would not save either.  If I flattened the layers then it would save as a PSD.  It would not let me save the layered version as a PSB.  Here's the Layers panel for this image.  It's not really that involved:

Everything was working well yesterday.  I believe that I did an update this moring.

The new update 26.8 m.3082 will not save a document if there is a smart filter applied to any layer. I am having to rasterise the layer in order for it to save - not good!
