I just tried again. I tried to save the PNG as a TIFF - back to the same error: "There was an error while saving the file." Regards, Brian.

I just tried PNG I ensured that the specs that I used made files at least the same size as the TIFF & they saved OK. Regards, Brian.

I was trying to clean up scanned circuit diagram image that I stiched together. The image is TIFF & 3.14MB in size saving back to TIFF after some cleaning up using the clone tool. Is there anyway to find file size while within paint.net? My system is 32 bit WIndows 8 saving to the C: drive The image may have layers but I'm not using them yet. The problem happens just about all the time. Thanks, Brian.

When I try to work on a file & then save it I get the error: There was an error while saving the file. The file will not save. This is on a WIndows 8 system with Paint.net 4.03 with the latest downloaded version. I did a fresh install just before logging this to be sure that the version was the latest.
