Original title: Picture Manager

I can open and print a picture saved on my computer in jpeg using picture manager.  However, if I make any editting changes it won't allow me to save it or print it.  When I try to save it, the message "some files cannot be saved. please try again".  When I try to print the editted picture, the message "Windows cannot find this picture.  Check the location and try again".  How can I fix this?  If I can't edit pictures than the program is worthless.

Hello,

I just want to add that this is just a Read Only feature that was embedded on the picture by the program that created it and it is not easy to remove just by selecting Save As.

After or before editing(which ever works for you),

Click File

Select Save As

Click On Tools drop-down chevron

Select Properties

Uncheck the read-only check box and click OK

Confirm Attribute Change comes up, Apply Changes

Click OK

Click Save

Hope it helps.

I found out why it wasn't working for me. When I saved a file in Photoshop as a jpg I had to uncheck the box that said ICC Profile: U.S. Web Coated, If this box is checked when you make the jpeg then when you try to change it in Microsoft  PM the error message will come up and remove the picture from your computer. At least that is what it was doing to mine. I hope this works for you. Everything is working good again for me.

    This doesn't work  - and the error deletes the SOURCE FILE

    Why is it so hard for Microsoft to write software that works?

    I have never had this error with free software (GIMP).

    Unbelievable - well not really. We have been living with MSFT garbage for years.

    I had the same problem with MO Picture Manager and I solved by running the application as a "Administrator". It will ask for extensions confirmation and thats all.

    Good luck.

    I know this is an old thread, but I too am having this problem. Using Windows Vista. Very annoying. 

    Not only can I not save an edited picture, but Windows Picture Manager actually deletes the original as well! No matter if I export, 'save as' or just plain save, the original file will disappear and then Windows Picture Manager will refuse to save the edited picture.
