Recently, this problem’s been happening more and more often. I’ll have an image ("xxx.tif") open, and when I try to save it, I get an error message that says: Could not save as "xxx.tif" because that document is currently open. Save using a different name, or close the document and try again. But I can’t save as a different name. The ONLY thing that WORKS is, closing Photoshop and reopening, then trying again. But in the process, I’ve lost whatever changes I’ve made to xxx.tif.

A specific, common example: Open a TIF file, make some changes, reduce it to 72dpi, and try to Save As, as a JPG file, on my desktop. Can’t do it. Can’t save it ANYWHERE … not on drive C, drive D … keep getting the same bogus message.

Anybody got a clue what’s causing this? Sure would be grateful for some advice….. thanks!
