Hi

Try enabling this option in preferences and restarting Photoshop to see if it helps, the most recent of Photoshop is 24.2.0

Thanks for the screenshot. Would you mind updating Photoshop to the latest version? You may try resetting Photoshop preferences back to defaults and check if that helps. Here's the article for the steps: https://adobe.ly/3ceal5t.

Also, back up the existing Photoshop preferences if you have any custom brushes, action, and workspace: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG

Let us know if that helps.

Best,

Ranjisha

I couldn't find that option either. I have Photoshop 25.0.0 and Mac Monterey. I get a blank popup window when I try to save too. I didn't change the Photoshop defaults for this category of preferences.

But I can't save or save as or save a copy after making any changes to a file in Photoshop 2024 with Mac Monterey.

@Ann Marie32364781metv thats not normal. What happens when you try to save? Do you get an error, does the screen come up blank, etc?

[Ann Marie32364781metv]

I get a blank screen that pops up. No matter how long I wait, nothing happens. This is for Photoshop 2024.

@Ann Marie32364781metv this is a different issue than this post. I'm going to move your post to a similar thread with the same issue.

[Ann Marie32364781metv]

Thanks. I didn't see this thread.

I have this same issue... is there a solution for it @Kevin Stohlmeyer (Dec 4, 2023)

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

@Jewels805 update to 25.2

[Jewels805]

@Kevin Stohlmeyer  Thank you for the quick reply 🙂 I am in fact, already running 25.2! Any other suggestions that may help?

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

@Jewels805 Mac or Windows?

I get the same thing (blank popup window). PS 2024 will not Save, Save As, or Save a Copy in Mac Monterey OS 12.6.9 (and my computer can’t update higher than that). After editing a file, I now have to export it; however, the options of file types are limited to PNG, JPEG, and GIF. This doesn't help me when I need a TIFF or PS file saved. It's only a partial workaround but it may help for some files.

A few days after I posted this, Photoshop miraculously worked as normal. Maybe something updated? But I didn't see and evidence of that. It still says it's the 25.0.0 release. I'm still on Mac Monterey.

I've experienced job loss twice because of this issue. You might wonder why it happened twice; the problem was that Photoshop was failing to save certain files. Just as I was about to lose hope, I stumbled upon a solution on Reddit. Unfortunately, I couldn't provide credit to the person who shared it due to not being able to copy the link. So, here's an enhanced version of the solution I found. I hope it helps you avoid similar troubles.
1. Quit Photoshop

2. For Mac go to
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 202x Settings/
And for PC go to
C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 202X

3. Make a backup of Adobe Photoshop 202X Settings, The latest version you currently use.

4. Delete the contents in Adobe Photoshop 202X Settings.

5. Copy the contents of Adobe Photoshop 202Y Settings into Adobe Photoshop 202X.

6. Or you can delete the whole directory, copy the old one there, and then rename it to the last version, for example, Adobe Photoshop 2023 to Adobe Photoshop 2024.

7. Open Photoshop, Cross your fingers and toes, and hope this solution does the magic! If not, well, maybe we can all collectively blame Photoshop's mischievous gremlins. ☺️
