“Essentially Photoshop doesn’t recognize files after saving them to a server, as it would seem, ruining your file. Only I’m experiencing this problem in saving files to an external FW drive.”

If you’re really unhappy with the current crop of presidential contenders, there are alternatives. “Yippie Kay Yay, America!”
