In Adobe Bridge CS5.1 the image shows up on the desktop! Where could it be hiding? Am using El Capitan 10.11.6 on my iMac. 2016-07-28T20:34:54+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1340#6251 Roy Rainford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Update - I did a restart and the image has appeared on the desktop! Don't know where it went. Never happened before but "all's well that ends well". 2016-07-29T17:49:07+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1340#6252 Tony Still info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ I guess you mean that the file wasn't visible as an icon on your desktop backdrop. If you open a Finder window and navigate to Desktop (probably by clicking Desktop in the sidebar), you can see all the files/folders on the desktop - I presume this isn't where you couldn't see the file: it should be a reliable list of what's there. If the icon is not visible then it could be hiding behind something else, a window or even another icon (I have seen OS X helpfully position one icon in exactly the same place as another so one is entirely hidden). Anyway, a possible workaround is to Control-click (or right-click) on the desktop and choose one of the cleanup options. This should tidy up all your icons and hopefully - magically - restore any that have been... misplaced. 2016-07-31T12:30:46+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1340#6258 Roy Rainford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Tony. I didn't view the list you mention but was viewing the desktop backdrop. When saving an image from PS Elements to the desktop, I wait for about 5 seconds and a 'thumbnail' image normally pops onto the desktop. I then drag the 'thumbnail' to a folder on the desktop and continue processing another image. When I posted the problem above, I had gone through this procedure twice without the 'thumbnail' appearing on the desktop. My 'best guess' is that I was impatient and hadn't waited long enough for the completed image to transfer to the desktop. This could be the wrong assumption but subsequently I have continued with the same procedure and waited for the 'thumbnails' to appear on the desktop before taking any other action. Btw - I also looked at the desktop window in 'Bridge' but the missing 'thumbnail' wasn't showing there either. 2016-07-31T23:14:31+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1340#6260 Tony Still info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Might one ask why, if you want the file in a folder, you don't save it there directly? I know, I hate people who answer one question with another too ;-) 2016-08-01T11:49:16+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1340#6261 Roy Rainford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Tony, the folder in question wasn't showing as an option when doing the 'Save as' move. Sometimes a folder that I want to move an image to does show in the 'Save as' window but not always so it's desktop first then 'drag & drop' into the relevant folder. 2016-08-01T13:49:24+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1340#6263 Mick Burrell info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ If it's not showing, it's probably because it's showing you the "edited" version of the save window. To the right of the name box there's a downward pointing arrow - click that for full access to everywhere on your hard disc. 2016-08-01T15:11:36+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1340#6266 Roy Rainford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Mick. I 'think' I have clicked the correct downward pointing arrow following your tip and all the folders on the desktop now show. Many thanks.
