Photo works normally when first launched, however after a few saves, or having worked on a couple of files, I suddenly get a "Permissions Denied" error. The problem comes whether I save, save as, or export. The result is the same. The location of the save, or export is irrelevant since I have saved to my Dropbox folder, or directly to my desktop, or any other location in my computer. To circumvent this problem I have to quit Photo and relaunch in order to continue working, however, if i did extensive edits, I will more than likely loose those edits. Also, this happens if I try to open a file from any location on my computer. I may be working ok with some files and suddenly the next one will not open with the attached error. Even if the location is the same as the previous file that worked successfully. Please help, as this is at best very irritating and at worst I keep loosing time and breaks my workflow. I am including a screenshot of the error. Please advice on a solution. Thanks.

With Photo and Designer I am unable to save files. I get the message: Save failed because you do not have permission to create a file in that location. I have tried using three different Macs, all running El Capitan, and get the same message. Works fine on the one machine I still have running Yosemite. Both apps are fine if I make up a new user, but I need to get operational with the admin user. I have tried repairing permissions but that hasn't helped. I understand other people have had similar issues relating to the sandboxing of the app. Has a fix for the problem been found?
