Files not compatible???

I started some vehicle wrap graphics yesterday, saved them on my hard drive then backed them up on an external drive.
Today I am unable to open the files from either source, I get the following message: Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop.
OS 10.7.3
Photoshop CS 5.1 Extended 12.1 x64
The files are psd, sizes are 1.34 GB (obviously not exceeding the 2GB limit)
The files all have their proper .psd extensions and my system and software are all up-to-date.
Is there anything I can do to open these files?

Very frustrating Adobe. I have a client waiting for work that your software keeps losing/locking me out of for no reason. Maybe take 'professional' off the box until this is resolved and replace it with beta?
I am having the same problem. I just saved my PSD file, then immediately go to open it  right after closing and it tells me "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop. This is happening regularly. I am not working on a server nor do I use Norton Antivirus. I regularly run ONYX to clean my system and never had this problem until this version of Photoshop.
OSX: 10.7.4
Photoshop: CS5 Extended (12.1 x64)
The only other thing I've done in recent months is install a couple trials. I'm wondering if installing trials of CS6 products screws with something that makes the system THINK you've upgraded the other ones? I never installed a CS6 trial of photoshop though. Only CS6 trials of Flash Pro, Flash Builder, and InDesign. Not sure why that would have anything to do with Photoshop but...I'm also not sure why saving a PSD doesn't later let you open or have any access to your work.
I can see the file in OSX preview, but of course that doesn't get you any access to the PSD layers and other features which is why you use Photoshop. Otherwise any other software does the trick.
Anyone find a solution?

  • My latest attempt to import photos from my slr resulted in an error.  Something to thew effect of file not compatible.  never had this problem before.

    My latest attempt at moving photos from my slr to iphoto resulted in an error, something to the effect of file not compatible.  Never happened before.  Made about six attempts...no change.  any ideas? 
    Thanks

    What system and iPhoto versions are you using?  What camera model and are you shooting just jpegs or RAW or both?
    See if you can launch Image Capture and get it to recognize your camera.  If it does then download the photos to a folder on the Desktop to get them safely on the hard drive.
    See if the files can be imported into iPhoto from that folder. 
    Reformat the memory card with your camera, take some test shots and try to import into iPhoto directly.

  • Photoshop CS2: "file not compatible with this version of Photoshop" error

    So, I've been working with Photoshop for almost 20 years now, and lately I've been getting this error message on occasion (but not on every file) when I go to open a file I worked on just yesterday: "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." I just worked on it yesterday in Photoshop. The file was saved as a PSD, and when I attempt to open it through Painter IX, that program tells me that it's not a Photoshop document. Why can't I open this file anymore, and why is it giving me this error message when I don't have Norton AntiVirus installed, and my 'maximize PSD and PSB file compatibility' is set to 'always'??
    Does anyone have an idea on how I can open my file? How can I get around this, and how do I prevent it from happening again?

    This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please
    cease and desist immediately
    in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
    Working across a network is not supported.
    See:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
    Copy the
    CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
    Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
    Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
    not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
    If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • CS6 file "not compatible with this version of Photoshop"

    We are using Adobe Creative Suit 6. Yesterday i've created a file, and today i cannot open it with any software. (Bridge shows the thumbnail but the file is corrupted.) I get the "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" error. The file contains multiple layers, without any masks. Originally it was a NEF file (Nikon raw). I used vanishing point, because its an interior photo. (it doesnt relevant for the problem) I have an earlier version, where the vanishing points are defined, but the textures are missing. Main question is, how this can be??? I worked on that version for more than 2 hours. The file size is small, it's only 133.579.959 bytes (133 Mb). The image is 4288 x 2848 px, 240 DPI, RGB 8-Bit, Fogra39 ICC profile. The computer is up to date, nor the hw or the softwares are corrupted. The file saved locally, so it's not a network problem. I saved the document, and left the machine for about 15 minutes, then i went back, so the save had to be complete. (on SSD it took about a couple of secs) The biggest problem is, i have to work with a large amount of photos in Photoshop. But after this i have some bad feelings about this job. We have to create these PSD files both for ourselves and for our client for further use. (It's a huge furniture factory) The hardware has 16 gigs of RAM with an Intel i5 operating system Windows 8.1. Any ideas? (ps.: i didnt' find PSErrorlog.txt file) Oh i almost forgot. After installing CS6 my Adobe Acrobat Pro stopped working in about 2 weeks... So. The job is waiting, but we cannot wait for a long time, we gonna loose our biggest client because of a sw error?

    You write this is not compatible with this version. Did you install all updates and did you update the camera raw too?

  • File Not Compatible w/ This Version of Photoshop?

    I was working on a file last night, clicked save, walked away, and came back a few minutes later.  It appeared that the file saved; however, my computer was frozen.  I gave the system a forced restart and now I get a message saying that the file is not compatible w/ this version of photoshop (CS6).  I can see the saved file in Lightroom and it has the last edits in it that I did right before saving, but the file will not open in Photoshop.
    I tried renaming the file w/ no luck.  If I right click the file and click properties I can see the correct file size and camera information for the file.
    Any ideas on how to remedy this?

    You're probably out of luck.  It sounds as if your system failed just at the time when Photoshop was trying to save your file, and what actually got onto the disk was truncated or corrupted.
    I take it the file did not auto-open the next time you started Photoshop.  That would have been your best bet, for the Photoshop Auto-Save recovery feature to have kicked in.  But apparently the failure occurred when there was no file auto-saved, or perhaps the auto-saved version was deleted coincident with the save.  That's bad luck indeed.
    I'd definitely suggest looking in the Windows System Event Log to see whether you're having drive problems, and if none are reported perhaps doing a CHKDSK on the drive to ensure your file system isn't corrupted.

  • CS3 file not compatible with Photoshop CS4?

    My son uses Photoshop CS3 at college. He worked all day on an image (120MB), and saved it on a USB stick. When opening at home with Photoshop CS4, the "Reading Photoshop format" appears, then an error message "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
    He has been burned before by a USB stick, but all the other files seem OK.
    Is there a solution to this?

    ^First thing I did was make a copy.
    QuickTime Picture Viewer (which seems to open other PSD files) says it is corrupted.
    Adobe Bridge can read the metadata, gives no preview, and won't open the file.
    Any other thoughts?

  • File Not Compatible With This Version

    I opened and created various files today, and after saving and trying to reopen I get this error:
    "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
    One of the same files opened just fine earlier, and after opening and making small changes to adjustment layers and resaving, I encountered this error.
    I did some searching, and all the causes seem to be related to using large files, Network Storage and Norton Anti-Virus. However, my files are under 2 gb, created locally (not on a Network Drive) on a machine that does NOT have Norton Anti-Virus. Hard drive was replaced on this machine in the last 3 weeks, so it's unlikely that there's an issue with that.
    Any other possible explanations? All of the posts I've seen on this topic seem to be related to Smart Object and/or Placed Photo/Video layers. Perhaps it is a Photoshop glitch related to certain types of Smart Objects / Placed Photo/Video layers?
    Running:
    MacBook Pro Mid-2010
    Mac OS X 10.6.4
    Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended Version 12.0.1

    341 gb free space

    Thanks!

    What you can try..
    Create a blank doucument in photoshop .
    Try to place the file on that by Goint to File -> Place .
    It works if its not a multi layered  file.

  • File Not Compatible Error - CS4

    I cannot open a PSD file I was working on the day before.
    I get 'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop'
    I created this file using CS4 and was opening yesterday fine.
    This has never happened with PS files before.

    I saved on my HD
    It looks to be about the right size.
    I did do some moving around of the folder it was in, andc it uses vector smart objects. I wonder if that screwed it up. So I placed it back where it was originally and still no such luck.
    I havn't checked for disk failures. Is that in utilities? My computer has been acting very strange lately (not sleeping when closed, powering uo the HD for no reason etc)\
    Here's my specs

    OSX 10.6.8

  • Error "file not compatible"

    When I open my psd file I get the following error
    "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop elements"
    I am using PE 11. I was working on the file yesterday and everything was good. I saved it as normal before closing the computer. Now I can't open it.
    I have tried reinstalling the software - no good. I can see a thumbnail of the image when I do File > Open, but it doesn't load.
    I am using Windows 8
    I have spent a lot of time on this picture, so any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks for the response.
    I tried Open As, but it still did not open. The message I get now is
    "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file"
    I have also tried elements10 with the same results.
    I have also tried opening on another windows8 computer with elements_11, with the same results
    I have tried another .psd, and that opens just fine.
    I have also tried opening with Free File Viewer, which does open other .psd files. It doesn't work either
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
