Wondering if anybody can help me, I have been working on a document today in Photoshop with no problems. Suddenly when I've gone to save a new selection the title of my document wasn't there and instead replaced with 'new' and the channel was also called 'new'. No idea what has happened? I now can't save any new selections to the document i'm working on which is really frustrating. There is also an 'i' in a star next to the title of my document on its tab. Any help is really appreciated.

Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

Thanks so much for your reply. I've counted and there is exactly 53 channels that i've made. 56 in total with R,G,B etc. Is there any work around with this? I have an even bigger task after this one is finished with looming deadlines.

If you really need that many stored Selections you can use Layer Masks (on empty Layers or Groups) to save them without exhausting that Channel limitation.

Could you have hit the 56 Channel limit?

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?

Could you accidentally have created a new document?

Thank you for your reply. I started again today and it has happened again, no idea why ? It just suddenly removes my document and is replaced with 'new' meaning I can't save. I am probably doing something silly, pretty new to photoshop
