Here's what works for me: disable all but the background layer, save, quit, relaunch. It's not great, but it'll keep you from having to redo your work.

I don't have a background layer! Can only save the PSD when I disable all layers. But saving as jpeg, png for client is totally impossible. Save for Web gives me a blank image.

 

Thanks again Adobe for letting me work in peace.

Photoshop CC sucks big time. Affinity crushes it on iPad and Cs6 extended is better than this garbage

I demanded a partial refund for all the hours spent not working and trying their lazy ass workaround solutions instead. Everyone experiencing these issues often should do this! Paying for product top dollar and then this.. nah

 

Does Affinity have a good alternative for smart object? Then ima switch 🙂

Same here, I read the advise to disable all but the background layer too late - so the work I did since the previous save was lost. I really hope that this will be fixed soon.

I actually noticed that it always seem to happen when I drag a layer over from another file into the file I want to save. When I then turn the layer's visibility off, saving works again. When I turn it on, it doesn't. This is so messed up. Can anyone figure out the reason for this problem? The workaround helps but is not really ideal, I'd really like to fix the problem and not adapt to it and live with it.
I also noticed other weird things since the last update: when I open one specific file which worked just fine before the update, it 'opens' but instead of showing the content of the file I only see the start screen from which you load your files when you opened photoshop, within the frame. Clicking on the layers doesn't do anything. It's like there is no content. However, when I drag and drop layers from that file into another file, those layers are visible and work prefectly fine. Some layers however - a gradient adjustment for example - doesn't show. I am actually really terrified to start working every day because I fear the loss of some important file or content - and it's not a solution to save dozens of copies all the time. Never in more than 15 years of working with photoshop did anything like this every happen. 😕

Got this too. Another one of many embarassing errors from Adobe, and their even more embarassing solutions to not solve it but work around it. Because why fix when money.

I have the same problem. Always getting ' file could not be saved, due to program error'.

Please, Adobe, do something about it. Thank you!

I can't get my work done because of this error and have lost lots of work. Is there any way to roll back to a version of PS before 2021 that isn't garbage?

Well, after having to deal with this problem repeatedly with almost every file and on top of that also encountering other weird issues I deinstalled the latest version and installed the old 2020 version. This is not really what I'm paying for but it's better than not being able to work at all...

I've given Adobe full disk access, and reset the settings.  It worked for a while but just now I tired to convert a layer to a smart object and the program error came back, and now will not let me save ...
