Using Photoshop 25.7.0, I've created a Contact Sheet via Automate > Contact Sheet II.
Cannot "Save" it or "Save as" or Save as Copy". I just get a black screen which does not react to any keystrokes or Return / Enter.
All other files save just fine - it's only Contact Sheets that are affected, as far as I can tell.
I've tried flattening it, leaving it layered, no difference.
The ONLY way I've gotten the Contact Sheet to Save is by "Export > Export As". This doesn't help as I want the layers. HELP!

Hey there! Thanks for sharing the details. Before anything else, try updating the macOS & Photoshop to the latest version available.
If that does not help, you can test Photoshop v25.10 (beta) from the Creative Cloud desktop app > Apps > Beta tab.
The save & save as modals are partially derived from OS components so updating the macOS should help.
Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

It happens only when using the Contact Sheet script?

Thats very strange. I think that script is just evoking photoshop commands without any ability to do something that can affect file or saving capabilities. Try again.

Maybe the dialog is like this one?
If you press the Tab key twice then Enter/Return, does that get you the Save As dialog?

I wish I could get that dialog box to come up. Tab (x2) + Return does nothing. Thanks for the suggestion

What happens if you use Image > Duplicate and create a new document?

I don't expect it to make a difference, but of course will try. I am on the latest OS my computer can handle: Mac OS 13.6.7 (22G720). I cannot update to Sonora. Will let you know. Thanks!!

It finally works (beta)! When I originally posted this I was completely up to date on the OS and Photoshop, but clearly something has been fixed in the meantime. yay! Thanks
