create new image
save it externally (save image as)
make anedit (paint a stroke or something)

@NGMAT

Tested on Linux64bit and Windows7 (recent builds).

Can you redo from factory settings?
Does it happen from a saved blend file?
Can you try save to different paths to see if the exact path used is the case.
Can you test this on another system?
Does the image format saved make any difference?

I suspect the directory permissions are the cause of this issue, but for this you have to do some checking on your system to see why a path is detected as not writable.

Blender isn't doing anything special here, it tries to write a file, and in your case it fails... but I dont think this is a common problem,

Hi if you tried it on todays a351ff7 build then it works fine.

it still doesn't work in the hash I posted for this report. Nothing on my end. Might aswell close this report if it works now. in recent build.

thanks.
