Hi there,

I am trying to save an image that I created as a TIFF. When I go to save it, I get a pop-up telling me I do not have permission to open this file. I am trying to save it on a CD-RW.

Does anyone know why this is happening? I am using PS 6.01. I have to get this ready for work tomorrow. Any help is appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Kevin

thanks, makes sense. I thought CD-RW were like any normal save. I guess not.

Even though your CD is rewriteable, the CD-RW drive does not behave like a standard hard drive. CD-ROMs are generally read-only and are therefore
treated
as such by the computer. You should be able to write your file to any hard
disk
without any further hassles. In order to burn it down to the CD-RW use
some kind
of CD burning software (if you have a CD burner, that is. If you are using
just
a CD-ROM you won’t be able to write to the CD-RW at all.)
Bye!

Nope. To save to a CD-RW, a special packet writing piece of software must be running on your system — and when it is, there’s a little icon in the system tray. Unfortunately, this software allows you to ONLY copy a file to the CD-RW. (With Nero Burning Rom, the program is called InCD and the tray icon changes from a red arrow to a green arrow when a formatted CD-RW is in the drive.)

There are some utilities which will allow the CD-RW
drive/disk combination to be used like an ordinary drive: In-CD from Nero, and Roxio’s Direct CD.

Well I use Roxio’s direct CD and it works a couple of times and after that the cd-rw crashes..
I never had a problem with it when it was Adaptec’s. Mind you, from experience, I wouldn’t use anything Roxio produced anyway.
