|
|
Hi - can anybody help me please?
My Photoshop CS3 Extended software has suddendly got a blip. It won't let me open, copy or save images. I can open images through the Bridge but after working on them if I click on Save or Save as, a box fleetingly appears then disappears and Photoshop freezes. It's the same if I try to copy an image ..... any ideas? |

First thing I would do is restart the computer and see if the problem still exists. |

Deleteing the preferences file has also been known to cure unusual behavior. |

Hold down the three modifier keys Ctrl-Alt-Shift in Windows (Command-Option-Shift in the Mac) while starting up Photoshop. You'll get a pop-up box asking if you want to delete the settings file, say yes.
Restart Photoshop. |

Close Photoshop.
Go to C:/Documents and Settings/your user name/application data/AdobePhotoshop/Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings
Delete the file named Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp
Restart Photoshop. |
