I am trying to go through and complete this desert tutorial (http://www.synthetic-images.com/index2.htm). Everything goes smoothly till I get to the build where it says to save transformed object. It says it cant save that file no matter what I name it. I am useing LW 7.5 on a PC. Anyone else try this tutorial, I know its for lw 6 but it should work somehow on a newer version of LW.

I tryed it also and had the same problems as you, i just gave up on it... I wish there were more landscape tutorials out there because that is an area i would love to learn more about... Good luck...

It does work.
Something is wrong with your file settings.
You might right click on that .lwo and see if it is read-only or whatever.
Save Transformed always works.
It something your OS is doing to that file.

I did this one a while ago and ran into the same thing. I remember the problem being that it was missing a step at #28. Particularly turning the points into 1 point polys. ;)

Here's what I did with mine, not much but it was my first time really messing with PhotoShop:
