Error: Cannot open output file keeps popping up when I try to save a file

[Please describe your issue here. Try to include logs (Help → Logging) and add screenshots if necessary.]

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Step 1 Photo AI acts normal as it analyzes and comes up with corrected image.


  2. Step 2 When I hit save, it starts saving and just before it ends, the error message comes up.

  3. Step 3 I have attached the error message screen shot and my Mac Info. It has happened multiple times over the past 3 days. I did download and install the new Mac operating system.
