Photoshop CS6 .psd files help

Hi, I am new on here so please excuse if this is posted in the wrong area, I have no idea where to post this.
I Have Photoshop CS6 Extended (on Windows 7 - 64bit).
But it does not open my .psd files, only if I run Photoshop CS6 and go File > Open > "and then open the file", it will open, but If I go to the file it self it does not recognize CS6 as the default program or to open it. It tells me it cannot find a program to open the .psd file with. I have tried several times to set the Default Program but it is not even there and if I click on "browse" to find Photoshop and click "open" it does not open or show Photoshop in the Default Programs.
Now I accidently clicked on coreldraw and I don't want my .psd files opening with coreldraw! because I hardly use coreldraw, I only needed it for my studies...
When I had CS5 it worked and opened fine, with CS6 the .psd files just don't find Photoshop.
Can anyone help me please, how can I fix this so that my .psd files get recognized?
Please it is quite frustrating.
Thanks.

You can either uninstall and run Adobe script cleaner and then reinstall CS6 or do a registry change. 
See this link, and for registry change see post # 9.  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1004672?tstart=0

  • I am trying to save a photoshop CS6 psd file to jpg and get an option jpg, jpg2000 or jpg stereo, I choose jpg and then Mac 256 colours, normal or interlaced.  I just want regular jpg with a high resolution.  What am I doing wrong, never had this problem

    I am trying to save a photoshop CS6 psd file to jpg and get an option jpg, jpg2000 or jpg stereo, I choose jpg and then Mac 256 colours, normal or interlaced.  I just want regular jpg with a high resolution.  What am I doing wrong?  , never had this problem before.  Help!!! 

    Your description of the issue is not clear:
    What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"?  It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
    In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
    If the image is a 256-color GIF, remember the rule:  GIGO = garbage in, garbage out.

  • PhotoShop CS6 .psd file currpt/not open :( my lots hard work

    Hi Friends,
    Today Accidentally my photoshop has closed at that time i am working on my demo template work from last 2 months, so again i open my .psd file thier is error prompt “could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop”.
    Several time i try but it can’t open my .psd file. if anyone face this type problem or have any solution to solve this i will be very thankful to you, of-course its my two months hard work.
    Thanks

    Here's a good trick that's works in many cases. You'll be using Fireworks to open, and re-save the Photoshop file. This will fix most corruptions.
    Open the corrupt Photoshop file in Fireworks.
    Use Fireworks to save it as a .psd Photoshop file. (Important: Do Not save it as a Fireworks file or another extension, because Photoshop may not recognize the layers, or you could lose data.)
    Remember to give your file a different name when saving, so you won't overwrite your original. (A good idea would be to create a backup of your original before trying this procedure.)
    Open your newly created file in Photoshop.
    Remember that many effects will not show in Fireworks, but should show up in the Photoshop layers.
    If it doesnt work, try to look at the answer here: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/photoshop/590-restoring-a-corrupted-ps d-file

  • Photoshop cs6  .psd file extension

    Hello,  if you create an image and it has a .psd file extension.  Do you have to download software to view the .psd file extension.  Or can if easily be converted to a .jpeg.  On my mac I can see the image.  At work a windows machine it's asking me to find a program that can view a .psd.  I was hoping to convert it to something that will open easily.   Thanks!

    Here is what I did.  I took a picture from the internet and created a new file in photoshop.  Then I added some layers for background, and text.  Now, the image has 4 layers.  It's basically a banner for a title of a page.  It has a .psd format.  I emailed the photo to myself here at work.  I can not open the file.  What started this is:  If I use this new .psd file I have created and used it in dreamweaver.  When someone opens the webpage will that .psd file open for them to see the image?  This is why I have been thinking that I need to convert it to a different format.  I'm Sorry!  I hope this clears up what I am trying to do.  Thanks!

  • How do you save a Photoshop CS6 psd file as a template?

    Trying to save a psd file as a template so the original cannot be altered or saved over. How do you do this?

    Thanks - that is perfect. Also found a "read only" option for all. So you have to do a "SAVE AS" and can't write over the original.
    Thanks again.

  • Unable to open cs6 psd files in cs5?

    I am a student, My school uses CS5 - I have CS6 - I am unable to open my homework at school (cs6 wont open on cs5) But I can still open school work at home (cs5 can be opened in cs6)
    I need to know (please) if there is a way to save my cs6 psd files as an earlier version so I don't have to keep redoing my work - Please help!

    CS6 files are backward compatible.
    But when opening in an older version, you can get warnings about text layers, or lose some effects that are specific to CS6 (like strokes on shape layers).

  • Opening Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2 (Mac Tiger 10.411)

    Is it possible to open Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2? After I created them in Photoshop CS3 I reset the preferences to maximize compatibility "always", then I resaved all the psd files. Do you think this will work? I have to open them in CS2 tomorrow at work...

    Also, some old features may have changed in the new version. Specifically, I had some CS3 files from a client that had smart objects that did not open correctly in CS2.
    As I recall, CS2 was able to open a flattened version of the file, just not fully layered with smart objects.
    I actually had CS3 on my laptop, just not on the tower I wanted to work on, so I opened the files on the laptop, rasterized the smart objects, and saved. After this, CS2 opened the files with layers.

  • Photoshop CS6 PSD losing layers

    Hi, my Photoshop CS6 PSDs are getting flattened if opened by any previous versions of Photoshop, depsite not being saved just opened.  When I open the original in CS6 again, all layers are merged.  Where there were 12 layers, there is now one.  This is causing loads of problems.  Please advise.

    Yes, thank you, Conroy.  Now I think of it that was the true basis behind my post above.  It wasn't that the Save As PDF operation had flattened the image, it was that it had turned off the option Conroy showed for subsequent operations.
    You can reproduce it like this:
    1.  Open a layered document.
    2.  Save As - PDF, disable Preserve Editing Capabilities.
    3.  Save As - PSD, note that the above mentioned checkbox is now OFF.
    This is a nasty gotcha, and while the little caution symbol is there it's not that noticeable.  Maybe Adobe should draw the red border around it as we have done.

  • Can a photoshop cmyk psd file converted to photoshop PDF be used online, or 1st convert to RGB?

    Can a photoshop cmyk psd file converted to photoshop PDF be used online, or 1st convert to RGB? (the client requested 300 res. and is using it for their online magazine)

    There should be no difficulty using CMYK online - all PDF viewers have to be able to convert to RGB for the screen. But I'd be very concerned about putting 300 dpi online. You should shrink it down to a suitable screen resolution.

  • Photoshop cs6 psd saved file video display is degraded from original imported file

    I have had some 16mm film converted to avi 1900 by 1080 pixels, 72 pixels/inch. Photoshop displays it ok. Then when I save the file as a psd and open it again the quality of the video displayed is deteriorated from the origional. Then no matter how it is rendered, it deteriates further. I am using a windows 7 computer. I have tried this with an Nvidia Quatro 1800 card and an Nvidia Gforce 760 card.
    Why does not photoshop at least keep the quality of the video as origional in a psd file? I can understand offering to degrade the display for faster display, but not the rendering degradation. I have tried rendering at H.264 High Quality and DPX full range 8 bit, they both degrade the quality, even though the origional avi file is also 8 bit depth. Rendering degrades the colors considerably.
    Where can I get information on what is going on in photoshop 6 as to how to control how it saves a psd file and more control of the rendered color depth?

    I have to make a lot of color corrections because this is film taken from the early 40s to the early 50s. I tried doing it in Avid Studio, Pinnicle studeo and Corel Draws Video Studeo which is what Avid Studio became. None of them alow for the amount of correction allowed in Photoshop. I already owned Photoshop 5 so I upgraded to 6 to take advantage of its advances in video. The plan was to break the converted files up in smaller peices so that Photoshop could handle it and use Premier Pro perhaps to do other post production editing. The origional avi files are a movie about 1 hr and 15 min long and another one about 45 min long. The CODEX is MJPG in avi.

  • Photoshop CS6 PSDs into After Effects CS5.5

    Hi there,
    Our graphics department have recently upgrade Photoshop to CS6 version 13.0 x64. I am trying to open a .psd file they have created in After Effects CS5.5 version 10.5.1.2. However I get the following message:
    'After Effects error: could not open (.psd name) because it is not a valid Photoshop document. ( 51 :: 19 )'
    Is there any way they can save their photoshop files differently so that they will open or do I need to upgrade to After Effects CS6?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    (wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the photoshop forum - thought I would try here first though)

    I've never encountered such an issue, and switch between both versions regularly.  On the machine I'm working on right now I have CS6 Creative Cloud installed, but do most of my AE work in CS5 or 5.5 because the clients I'm working for haven't upgarded yet.  But all my PSD work is done in CS6. 
    Is there anything unusual in the file, ie 3D content?  As Mylenium says, PS 3D has changed and is no longer supported by AE.  Otherwise, are you moving between platforms, ie Windows to Mac?  Does the file have a valid PSD extension?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended file icon.

    Whenever I save a .PSD file, the file icon is a white background with the Photoshop program icon on it, instead of the default blue photoshop file or .PSD file icon. Please tell me how I can fix this. Is this a bug or do I have to change something in the settings? I really want the original Photoshop CS6 File icon. Please help.

    You can change the file icon by editing your file associations under Extras --> Folder Options --> File associations. Select the Photoshop image file type, change the icon. Just be aware that depending on your folder view options, Windows may still display an alternate icon at times e.g. in file dialogs...

  • White Wall - Photoshop CS6 corrupted files won't zoom

    So my Photoshop CS6 is slowly corrupting files. I open psds to find nothing but a giant whit wall. I zoom out and the white disappears but then I can't zoom in any further than 50%. My rulers however, show that I'm zooming in. Then when I select another layer... it snaps to % I should be looking at. (Also... this particular file won't give me a preview in the icon on my desktop. Related?) This is not happening with all my files. Just the ones surrounding this particular project. Please. Help. Me.

    Welcome to the forum.
    With display issues, the first thing that I recommend is to check the installed video driver, and if it is not the latest, update that from the mfgr's Web site.
    What OS are you running?
    What video card (make & model) is installed?
    What is the video driver version?
    Is that the latest on the AMD/ATI, or nVidia Web site?
    Good luck, and if that does not help, at least we will have gotten that out of the way early.
