sherristormo Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 For the past few days I have been getting the following error.... "Could not save "filename.jpg” because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders.I have no idea what I did. I did't upgrade anything as far as I know. I'm hoping I just hit something? Any ideas? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 What happens when you get info on the files in question in Finder? Are you sure you've logged into your computer on an admin account? And does this happen with every file or just with some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherristormo Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 It's not all, but I haven't figured out a rhyme or reason to which ones. It always happens (so far) when I try to save a RAW file from the .CR2 to a JPEG. The files don't show locked in "get info" ... I will log in again, but I don't know how I wouldn't be logged in differently. also, here is my computer health stats... I have a Mac laptop running X Yosemite and Photoshop CC. It is under 6 months old, and has 16GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 85GB free out of 250GB. The last time I shut down was just before posting this thread. I have never run a cleanup program.

Damien Symonds Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Are you saving to the internal hard drive when this happens? I smell Yosemite ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherristormo Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I can't save to either my internal drive or external when this happens. Should I upgrade to the new OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's having its own share of terrible problems too May I ask a bit more about your workflow? I mean, why on earth are you saving directly from raw to jpeg, anyway?

sherristormo Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I do my RAW adjustments, then open in Ps. Do a few adjustment layers, then save as a psd and jpeg. I did just figure out if I save them to the spot I opened them from and save over a file it works?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Well, that sounds like a dicey solution! Any trouble saving the PSD files? http://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/02/trash-those-jpegs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherristormo Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Ok, so now I can't get it to give me the error... which I guess is a good thing, but it did it all last night through today. I literally just replicated the error in order to screen shot it and paste it here. So, I guess problem solved for now?!? I will come back if I get it again! Thanks for the link though. I will start not saving my jpegs in my archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
