Reply To: Error: File is in use

Hi,

I've this strange thing with an image or photo I'm editing in Photoshop. Once done, I click save, and getting this message like: “cannot save, file is in use” or something. That's correct, because I've opened it straight from Indesign. So when I close that particular Indesign file, I now can save the photoshop file. The thing is that this error message doesn't always appear, even with the Indesign open. Anyone noticed this as well?

Hi Eelco,

I used to get this annoying problem all the time, but I've found that if I just go back to the InDesign document and save that, the file I have open in PhotoShop will save with no problem. I don't know how that works, it just does, even when I've saved the InDesign document BEFORE I invoke the Edit Original command…

Hope that helps…
