    can't save a jpeg on a MAC!

    I am running PS 5 on a Mac, Sierra 10.12.6. Until a few days ago, I had no problems, but now, I can't save a file as a jpeg. I get the dialog box COULD NOT COMPLETE YOUR REQUEST BECAUSE OF A PROGRAM ERROR.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed and checked all my settings. Nothing has changed.

    Any suggestions? I also have PS3, and ELEMENTS, and they both seem to be working fine.

    I really want to use PS5

    20 years old PS? May be you should update to something modern.

      What do you suggest? It was working perfectly fine last week. PS3 that is older is still working with no problem, but I want to stay with PS5. I also have Elements 9, and it is also working properly. Something has caused a 'clitch' in PS5, and I would like to fix it. There must be a way!

        If you have not it so far, reset Photoshop Preferences. Sometimes the Preferences file gets corrupted and a reset will fix those problems. Not sure that will fix your problem yet it is a good place to start. (CMD-Option-Shift on startup Photoshop)

        Hope that helps

          Are you using Photoshop CS5? There is a big difference between PS5 and PS CS5. Honestly I'm shocked if PS5 is running on macOS Sierra.

          --shift studio.

            Yes, I am using CS5. Not sure how to reset the preferences. Is there a default setting?

              I googled my problem and found this....To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut: Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.Aug 3, 2017

              so far it seems to be working! Keeping fingers crossed!

                Always can just try restarting the computer.

                  PE4 and Mac OS Leopard
                  by Tony Gander
                  Adobe's advice for those that have upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard is that for Photoshop Elements 4 and earlier the user is 'likely to encounter issues for which there is no resolution.'
                  I have yet to encounter any adverse effects from using PE4 with Leopard. Any Mac user had problems with this...

                  Saving jpg in Elements 5
                  by BBE
                  I am new to Elements 5 and this forum so hope that someone can help please. If I open an RAW file (Nikon .NEF) everything works well until I want to save the finished result as a .jpg file. "Save as" gives me a list of extensions but not JPEG i.e. *.jpg. It does give me the option of JPEG...

                  Editing workflow
                  by john sr
                  Since my camera only produces jpg images (Canon Powershot S5-IS) Is it better to batch convert original images to tif files prior to editing? When complete should the result be saved in tif, jpg or both. I'm using PS elements 6 on a Mac. Thanks for your suggestions.
