A few hours in an edit, and now I cannot save my file. I've tried export, puge all, nothing seems to help, anyone have an idea, how to save this and not to lose all my work?

    Well, somehow, I really don't know why, this was the problem. Disabling GPU didn't work, but some of my adjustment layers were ''poping' out. I've just cropped the image, and I was able to save it just fine. Why that was a problem, I really don't have a clue.

    I'm only replying to this comment because I'm having the same problem and want to be notified when someone answers your question. Praying someone responds ASAP. I don't have time to waste and don't want to redo my work.

        Awesome.  🙂

         

        Make sure you delete your preferences when you get the chance, just to be sure; could be something went kablooey with the Preferences file. (You'll have to set everything the way you had it afterward again; panels, preferences, etc.)

          Did you try duplicating and saving that? (Image > Duplicate on the menu bar.)

          Try also disabling the GPU if you haven't done that yet. (Edit (Photoshop on Mac) > Preferences > Performance > Graphics Processor Settings.) Not sure if this will work, though.

           

          Another thing to try: Create a new document (if you can) with the same canvas size as your original document. Select and drag all your layers into this new document. Try and save once more.
