Cannot Save Contact Sheet

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!

 

MacOS 13.6.6 (22G630)
iMac Retina 5K 27-inch, 3.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
Radeon Pro 580 8 GB; 24 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

    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!

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

    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

    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.
