few days ago, when I clicked on "Save for Web" I received this error.
"Could not complete the Export command because of a program error."
This used to work fine before a few days ago. I haven't made any changes to my computer. I've deleted the Save for Web prefrences file as well as the Photoshop preference file. None of these have helped. I am still unable to Save for Web.
I've recently started getting an error message I've not noticed before. If I use CTRL L on an empty layer by mistake, I get the following message.
"could not complete the levels command because of a program error"
I can't swear that I've never had it before, and I'm sure I must have used CTRL L on an empty layer before, but I don't recall seeing it.
Whatever happens, it's not exactly a user-friendly message. A Google search turns up no matches, lots of similar ones, but I haven't found an answer yet.
To recreate this error, draw 2 simple shapes in Illustrator CS6, copy and paste them together as a Shape layer in Photoshop CS6.
Then go to 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Path. I just accept the defaults.
Then go to 3D > Split Extrusion.
The error is thrown at this point. No matter what I do, I can't get it to work.
I've tried rasterizing the shape, but then I get a different error. When I select 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Layer, I get the error: "Could not complete the New 3D Extruions from Selected Layer command because the path is too complex." This is ridiculous. I can't get the 3D to work at all.
I am using Photoshop Elements 9 and the "move" tool is not working. The Auto select layer box is checked and I have rebooted the computer and reset the move tool. I keep getting the error message "Could not complete the Move command because of a program error."
When I use the quick selection tool (or when I use content-aware scaling) I get an error message saying "could not complete your request because of a program error." I am working with NEF files, 4 GB of RAM, fast machine with plenty of scratch space, Radeon X1950 crossfire graphics card. With small .jpg files, the problem doesn't occur.
the problem seems to happen when I fool around with my projects layers (turning turning them on and off) all my tools lock up and when i try to click back onto my work.
I get this error "Could not use the brush tool because of a program error"
Then I need to save my work and restart PS to work on it another 5 mins before it locks up again.
I started to get the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error" a little while back, but it would go away after restarting photoshop, so I wasn't too worried about it. But now I've encountered this one file that won't let me do anything to it. As soon as I open it it pops up with the error message. No amount of clicking makes it go away, and I have to force quit photoshop. Always the same thing. I haven't found anything that works (I tried the file info>copyright idea and deleting Photoshop's preferences, even getting rid of extra fonts, and clearing the library>cache.)
More info: It's a psd file. There are only 2 layers on the files, one is a vector smart image.
I opened the file and was able to edit it fine on a friend's computer, no error messages whatsoever - so it's not a corrupt file. (But that doesn't solve my computer's dilemma.)
I am having trouble with completing value scale gradations. I do not have a problem using the Gradient Too. My problem begins when I attempt to pick up the color with the Eye Dropper Tool and then apply it using the Bucket Tool. The H slidder remains at the correct number. The S and B sliders do not move so gradation does not occur. I keep getting a "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
I am on PS CS6 version 13.0.06 x64. Running on Mac OS X version 10.9. Installed the new Maverick on November 10 and not sure if that has anything to do with this.
In PS I get the error above when I go to File/Open and look for a photo file to pull. Before I even get a chance to chose a file the error pops up and does not let me go any further.
Also if I am in LR5 and send a photo to PS through Photo/Edit in/Edit in Photoshop CS6 it will open it. However, when I go to save as JPEG the folders just disappear and brings back the photo and does not allow me save.
Error Message: Could not complete your request because of a program error.My CS6 photoshop was working before I upgraded my operating system to OS 10.8.5. I uninstalled photoshop and reinstalled it. Still doesn't work. I can't do anything in Photoshop, it comes up with that error every time I try to open a file.
When I updated Photoshop CS6 with the 1st update, I began to get a error message "Could not complete due to a program error". I also lost the ability to perform photomerges. Everytime I do a photomerge, I get an error message that says that "the functionality does not exist in this program". I use the photomerge frequently.
Although I have been using it, today I tried to open Photoshop CS4 and received the message: "Could not complete your request because of a program error." I've tried restarting (imac late 2012, Mountain Lion 10.8.2), reloading the program but still get the same message.
I get this message whenever I try to open a PS7.0 file. Strangely enough, this file I opened once with CS and it worked fine, I made some changes and saved it (shoulda saved copy) and now when I open it, you see the loading bar go right to the end, then an error message comes up:
"Cannot complete request due to program error."
The PSD opens fine in ImageReady. But I really need it in photoshop!
I have tried alot of things to make it work, opening in IR then trying to switch to PS. Loading up PS7, saving it again,
I have a particular set of images that I am editing and then trying to save as RGB JPEGs. I keep getting the message 'could not complete your request because of program error'. I am working on Photoshop CS2 on Windows XP Professional. The files will save as TIFFs and PSD files but not JPEGs. Photoshop will save everything else but not these particular images.
After editing a photograph the save and save as functions have stopped working. The error message is: 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' How can I get the program back to where it was a few days ago?
My husband and I are "classic" adobe users of element 5.0. Has always worked great except recently can't save pictures... only comes up saying "can not complete your request because of a program error"
I have used Photoshop elements 5.0 for years. Mainly I use it for cropping, a small amount of touch up. Recently when I try to save a picture as a jpeg the message comes up "could not complete your request because of a program error. I can save as i tiff. and other formats bu t not jpeg. So I uninstalled 5.0 and reinstalled and the same thing happens.
I have been away from PhotoShop for awhile and have not used CS3 for over a year. When I try to use the clone tool a pop up tells me unable to use tool due to a program error. How can I fix?
I got some problems with pen tool. When I want to use pen tool and select shapes I get error which says "could not use pen tool because of program error" I really dont understand whats happening with photoshop.
Whenever I try to use the type tool in Photoshop CS5 (Mac) I get the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." I already tried cleaning out the font cache and I validated all the fonts installed on the system and all passed.
Mac OS X 10.6.8 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
I am currently using PS CC and can't use the eye dropper tool. I get a dialog box that reads "Could not use the eye dropper tool because of a program error"
I have tried the tool from many angles thru the color picker, shifting the brush tool, ect. I get the same message. The eyedropper works for me in Illustrator.
You don't realize how necessary the eyedropper tool is till it is not working! I have rebooted, tried 64bit and 32, uninstalled CC and and reinstalled with no luck.
I'm trying to do some work on a file I set up months ago. First, I tried to copy some text to paste into another program. I got this back:
"Could not use the type tool because of a program error."
I'm using a font called Hit the Road. Interestingly when I changed it to Myriad Pro it let me copy and paste.But - when I went to save the file out as a PDF, I got a similar message:
"Could not save as “xxxxxxx.pdf” because of a program error."
I've tried clearing my preferences and restarting the computer. I haven't uninstalled PS.
I'm using:
CS6 13.0.4 x64
And I'm on a:
MacBook Pro 13" Retina running up to date Lion 2.5 GHz i5, 8GB memory, Intel HD Graphics 4000 768 MB
Working on a document with many layers, I kept getting a Program Error when I typed the double quote character into the type tool. This was not the usual Program Error in that it was recoverable. Other times I've seen the Program Error, Photoshop would stop responding & require a restart.
In this case, all I had to do was delete the double quote character, and Photoshop was back to normal. Hmmm...PSCS5.1 on a Mac Pro with Mountain Lion.
