I'm using the latest version of Photoshop 2020 (21.0.1). I tried saving my file and it stuck on 0%. I figured because the autosave is on I can close it and I might lose only the last few things I did. God was I wrong. I lost all my work. I did some work again and decided to manually save it again. Little did I know I have the same issue. Is anyone else experiencing this? I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose everything again. I tried duplicating everything and saving that file bot it didn't work. Please help as this is important work. I'm using a 2017 Mac if that has anything to do with it.
Of course not. As many other bags its following months, some tume - years. Nobody care about it.
Only new bugs and performance problems added and PS going worse and worse.
Thanks to subscribtion system and monopoly position photoshop on market - there is no any reason to adobe works about any improvment for this software. And its will be same situation or even worse in future.
For future reference this is a community forum. Sometimes Adobe pops in and responds but this is mostly community members like me who respond.
Have you read through and tried the suggested answers?
This post has gone on for so long, may others have added different issues to it so it's hard to follow.
There is a proven solution for Mojave and using external drives - the issue is starting with Mojave Mac OS security settings mess up saving directly to a non-Mac formatted externals. Reformat your external to a Mac format and there is no issue.
There isn't much Photoshop can do about this since its a Mac OS issue. The same thing occurs with Office products.
But a SOLUTION i found was when I opened my PSD file (double-clicking from Finder) it opened a new project in Photoshop without my changes. I was able to duplicate the changes I made on my old PSD and copy it to the new PSD, and save it. Though I didnt make any filename changes to the PSD file, it opened as a new project on PS.
Found a workaround, ableit an annoying one, for this issue.
Had a file stuck at save 0%, while the project was still open, I converted all layers to a smart object, waited for it to compile, then double-clicked said smart object, opening a new window with all the unsaved layers, saved that as a .PSD not the native .PSB, force quit, then restart. Luckily this worked for me and all my layers were still editable and unrastered the only downside is that it cropped the file to my largest out of frame image, so some canvas reformatting had to be done. Hope this helps.
This just happened to me and I found out it was because I had moved the file location while my PSD was open and unsaved. When I went to save it, it couldn't find where the file was supposed to be so it generated the error. You'll have to make sure to save and close your PSD before moving or renaming the file in your Finder.
I have the same problem (latest PS in Sept 2020)... I'm trying to copy the layers over to another document, but this really isn't good enough. Adobe's software quality is beyond unacceptable now. I'm replacing PS with Affinity, Premiere with Resolve and downgrading my CC to just an AE subscription, which unfortunately I can't replace yet. I just can't rely on Adobe any more.
Same problem. I am not saving to an external drive, working locally. Catalina OS and everything is up to date. stuck on 0% save and anytime i try to re-save it says theres a program error. luckily I see theres a workaround in the thread so I don't lose all my work, but this is super frustrating and has been going on for at least a couple months.
Thanks Kukac! That helped me. When I rename a curved adjustment layer, with a mask, in a folder, that's clipped to a smart object, I cannot save. If I leave the adjustment layer named "Curves #" the document saves just fine. This only occurs with curves. Renaming H/S has no issues.
Same problem. Happens at least once a day. Running PS 21.2.4 on iMac 27" 2019 Mojave 10.14.6 and NOT saving to external HD so that's not an answer. This bug makes your product broken.
I regularly have this same problem on my internal SSD running Catalina. My workaround is to go to "Edit" and then "Assign Profile" then choose another colour profile then click OK, you will now be able to resave the document. You can then switch back to your preferred assigned profile and contine.
