Hello,

I’m actually having a similar problem to one of the earlier posters.

I’m editing a wedding with CS4. I just switched to the trial version and am purchasing in about a week or so. Have been having no issues until the past couple of days. I drag a series of JPEG photos from CS4 Bridge into Photoshop. I edit a JPEG photo with some actions (thereby creating layers), hit "Save As" and I hit "JPEG." It automatically wants to save that file as a "copy" but I delete copy because I want it to save over that file. Typically up pops a box saying "Cancel" or "Replace." About 70% of the time it works, but 30% of the time that box with "Cancel" and "Replace" comes up blank, and I have to force quit Photoshop because it freezes.

I originally thought the problem was my new terabyte hard drive, so I stopped editing on that. Now I’m editing on my actual iMac hard drive (which has 100GB available). But it still keeps happening. Now I’m thinking it has to be a CS4 issue, but I have no idea what. Could it be the actions I’m using? The number of files I open at once? I can’t figure it out. I’m not super computer savvy, so I’m hoping someone can help!

Many thanks in advance,

Lisa
