Hi there,

 

Sorry that you're getting an error "write access not granted" while saving a file in Photoshop.

 

Please share the version of Photoshop along with your computer's OS. Also. does the error comes up while saving a specific file to a particular location? 

 

Are you getting the same error while saving to your desktop? A good starting point would be ensuring that you have the permissions to save to the location you're saving the file to. If you're using a Mac, try going to the System Preferences of the macOS, then to Security and Privacy and add Photoshop to the Accessibility under the Privacy tab. Also, grant permissions to Photoshop (version you're using) under the Files and Folders section.

 

Let us know the outcome.

 

Thanks, 

Akash

Hi Akask.

 

------------

 

I am the administrator of my computer.
Imac 5K, 27 ", 2020.
Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB RAM
Graphics: Radeon Pro 5500
-----------
MacOS Big Sur 11.2.1


-----------


I had the latest version of Photoshop 22.2 (the problem occurred in this latest version)

An Adobe worker via chat told me to install an older version. Now I have Psd 22.0 (this problem does not occur)

The problem occurs when opening a psd document in Photoshop from the Finder. After working on it if I  save it, I can't. But "save as" sometimes does allow it (sometimes it doesn't)

But also those files from the "documents" folder didn´t allow it either.

 

I have to add that they were documents that I imported from another computer ... That is, documents not created on this computer (mac) (maybe that gives a clue as to what may happen. I dont know)

 

But the files are not locked. They can be read and written, but it cannot be saved.

 

--------------

 

Photoshop has permissions in the Files and Folders section.
But in Accessibility and Privacy Photoshop is not included.

I have a job to finish, I will not try until I finish it.
But I do say that this problem was not in version 22.1

Thanks for the feedback.
All the best,
Jesus
