Last week's Mac OS X 10.5.3 update stomped on an extensive list of bugs and shut the door on a swag of security vulnerabilities. But it also delivered a problem that could result in irreparably damaged files for Photoshop CS3 users.

The issue strikes when a Photoshop file is saved to a network volume. Corruption occurs, and it may be serious enough to prevent the document from being re-opened by Photoshop or other applications that can handle .psd files.

This could be the latest phase of a long standing issue involving Photoshop and file servers.

Adobe has previously warned that problems could occur when saving files from Photoshop CS3 to an AFP file server.

AFP - Apple Filing Protocol - is used by Mac OS X Server, Microsoft Services for Macintosh, and other file servers such as ExtremeZ-IP and Helios EtherShare.

The problem surfaced with the arrival of Mac OS X 10.4.6, which included an update for the operating system's AppleShare components.

According to the company's web site, "Adobe does not support opening from or saving a file to a server, because of potential file corruption."

So are there any workarounds? Continued on page 2.
