I've seen a message elsewhere that the problem can be caused when backups are being done in the background.

Changing the Security & Privacy Photoshop setting mentioned above hasn't fixed the problem.

If I open the same files from Photoshop's 'Open' dialogue box, they DO open.

If I restart my machine I can open them, but if I continue saving new files, I get the error message after the restart.

If I try to reopen them from the Finder, I get the error message above. The files are files that I have just created inside a folder I named.I am working on a Windows-based server.I wasn't getting this message before the update. I am using a Mac Studio 2022 with the latest install of Monterey and am using Photoshop 23.5.1 (updated three days ago).If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. Ive already tried to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop, i've tried using a old version of Photoshop, I made sure the 'Always Create smart objects when placing' is checked in prefernces and I also tried unlocking the adobe folder and made sure that I have access to the files but still nothing works.Ĭould not open “FILENAME” because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. I always drag and drop vectors for Illustrator to Photoshop files and edit the smart object when I needed to but I never encountered this problem before.

If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder.' 'Could not update smart object files because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. But when I double click on a smart object to update it, it opens it up the file (Which is a drag and drop vector file from Illustrator) and I try saving the changes I get an error message. So I just updated to to the new OS and I started up Photoshop cc just fine.
