text: i can't save my projectts in printshop 20 unless i make them pdf and then i can't edit? trying to save my work in printshop.  please tell me what to do; all i get is "not responding" you need to do a save-as and save them in the folder of your choice in the format of your choice.  be sure to use the drop down arrow to select the format you want to save your photos in.  i use this method all the time, because i want to keep photos in a format i can use for other purposes and programs.  if you have never saved photos in that program before or are just using the save command then the file or folder it is pointing to (send location, may not exist).  also, be sure you have selected the photo (even if it is only one you working on) otherwise, it might get confused what you are trying to save.    remember always do a save-as on the first save of your work to be sure you have complete control of where and in what format the photo (or any thing else for that matter) is being saved in. as long as you have it in memory you can do additional saves because it now knows what you want it stored and how.  if you re-fetch it at a later date you must use the save-as again even if you want to over lay the one you just copied in because its default is screwy!
