Hi

In Preferences > File Handling you can choose whether to Maximise compatibilty with other versions when saving PSD/PSB files. If you are using PSB files with Lightroom, for example, then this must be set to on.

The settings in Preferences are "Never" , "Always" or "Ask". It looks like you have it set to "Ask".

Personally, I just set it to "Always"

It's not an error. An error would stop things from working. It's a warning, and (it seems to me) pretty self explanatory. Can you let us know which parts of the words are not clear to you, so we can help you understand the reason for the warning...?

On reflection it isn't even a warning. It's a perfectly normal CHOICE box. In the choice there is one option, and a warning that applies if you turn it off. What makes you feel it is an error?

My advise is to keep it set to Always in Preferences.  It  might save you frustration and wasted time in the future when something just doesn't work, and there is no obvious reason why not.  I once spent several hours tracking down such an  issue with Displacement Maps, for instance.  They will not work unless  Maximise Compatibility is turned on.

One big disadvantage to Saving with Maximize Compatibility is the file size can be doubled at times.

Maximize Compatibility saves a composite (flattened) image along with the layers of your document.
