Photoshop Layers not importing

Hi,
I've had this work in the past, a few months ago, but with a new project and a new file I'm not getting any layers to show through in DVDSP 4.1.2. In the info box, it says that the file is importing as a 'QuickTime Picture' and 'Layers: 0'. In reality it is a Photoshop layered file, 720 x 480. I even tried simplifying it and only have 4 layers in it, but still no go. I'm using CS3.
Any ideas? Old photoshop files import with layers...

The issue for me was bit depth. DVD Studio Pro only uses 8 bit images. The PSD's I was creating were 16bit. This caused DVDSP to ignore the layers and only display the composite.
Photoshop has added full 16 bit support in recent years so you might not notice that you are working on a 16-bit image.

  • CS3 Photoshop Will Not Import .CR2 Files

    I have tried countless updates and cannot seem to get Photoshop to import RAW files (.CR2) into the system. I receive the error message, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type"
    I am trying to import using the Merge HDR function on CS3 Photoshop, but it does not even do anything  when I click OK on the three RAW pictures i have selected.
    Help please. I am using a Canon Rebel T1i
    Thanks

    Photoshop CS3 doesn't have support for that camera. You'll either need to upgrade to CS5 or use the free DNG Converter to convert the raw files to DNG files that can be opened with CS3.

  • Mac Photoshop layers not visible to Windows user

    I'm using Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Mac. My client requested a PSD file saved with layers, which I provided. Her web developer is on Windows CS6 and is unable to see the layers in the file. Do you know why the layers are not visible to the Windows user?

    Look under your PS Preferences > File Handling
    How are you sending the file? Some email programs can alter files.
    If you are saving a separate copy for your Windows users, see that layers is checked in the dialog.
    Here's a screenshot for suggested File handling settings.

  • Photoshop Files Not Importing as Sequences

    I don't understand why some .psd files import into FCP as layered sequences while others are graphic clips. I'm saving them in PS CS5 with layers enabled.
    Thoughts? Thanks.

    Hi -
    Check if your problem files are set to Image Mode RGB and 8 Bits/ Channel. That's what you want.

  • Photoshop elements not importing iphone edits, reverting to originals

    Apple support told me Photoshop Elements is one of 5 applications that import iPhone pictures that have been edited in the iPhone photo software as they are edited.  So I downloaded Photoshop elements and attempted my first import.  Sadly, the pictures reverted to their pre-edited originals, the same problem I've been experiencing with my  non-mac laptop.  Any assistance appreciated...

    ok. Night three...
    and some photos!
    completed another uninstall/install downloaded fresh from the site.
    downloaded the 6.4.1 update manually from the adobe site and opened it from the desktop.
    get the usual;
    i click on the red adobepatchinstaller icon and i get this..
    meanwhile, all my .cr2 files are greyed out when in photoshop/file/open
    Tried to open my RAW .cr2 images in the adobe dng converter, but i just get this..
    get the same message when trying to open the raw file through elements.
    and finally!
    when i go to the actual file, right click and open with photoshop, i get
    All this happens when i also go through the automated process of 'elements/update' to get the latest camera raw plugin.
    It also confirms that i have the latest version (6.4.1) when i go to Photoshop Elements / About Plugin / Camera RAW
    Elements is working fine in all other areas. I have even managed to get hold of a .dng file and opened that up fine...
    Any ideas, anyone?

  • Photoshop layers not appearing

    Hi,
    Usually when I import a .psd I get a pull down box asking if I want to import all layers or merge them together. But lately, I can only get it to pop up randomly. It keeps importing the psd as one single picture. What gives?
    The psd is had 8 layers, less the 4000 pixels, RGB. and 8-bit. Am I just importing the file wrong?
    Thanks

    You have to drag it and hold it over the area and wait for the popup to select to import the layers separately. If you just drag and drop without waiting, Motion defaults to merged...

  • Layers not importing

    Hi there, I'm just getting started with this, hope you can help!
    I'm sure it's something obvious, but I've laid out my site in photoshop, everything is on its own layer, I've saved it as a psd, but when I import into catalyst only the backgroung layer is coming through. Any ideas why this is?
    Many thanks,
    Neil

    Hi Adam, thanks for the reply, as it happened, it was because some text in Ps wasn't rasterized, I'd just assumed Fc could handle it,
    thanks,
    Neil

  • Importing animated photoshop layers to FCPX

    I have reworked and saved all my files in FCP 7 including some multilayered animated Photoshop files
    in order to be able to finally export my project into FCP X - I have exported the file as Apple xml Interchange
    and than used the 7toX transfer app to import the project into X.
    All the files came in but I have multiple errors, such as wrong font, wrong size of some images and movies,
    some sound layers not there but most importantly:
    all my animated layered Photoshop files are there but none of all the keyed animation is there, nothing is
    animated anymore.
    Any quick suggestions???
    pierre

    I'm a little surprised that the animations didn't come over to FCPX intact. (Just checked the documentation and nothing stands out.)
    Two thoughts:
    If you don't need to work on the animations in FCPX, flatten them before exporting from FCP7.
    Otherwise, contact Assisted Editing; I think they're responsive.

  • Importing Photoshop layered files to Motion

    I'm having issues importing Photoshop layered files to Motion. When the file appears in the viewer, text or the shapes in the Photoshop file have changed colors. It's almost like motion doesn't recognize a gradient color in the text or shape. I've tried rasterizing the layer but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    hopefully above fixed that! not to hijack, but group layer labels don't seem to imported properly into apple products. is this due to the apple-adobe wars? i am anal so all my photoshop layers are grouped with some organization, but in motion it looks like a mess. thx,

  • I can not import videos frames to layers.

    I can not import videos frames to layers. ( I do have QuickTime )

    You may whant to look at your windows creash reports to see where CS4 is crashing, It may help you find a solution if there is one.
    Photoshop is not designed as a video editor.  Video is more or less and add on.
    Photoshop video support was also significantly enhances in CS6.  While there is still support for  menu File>Import>Video Frames to layers.  Its not the best way to get video into Photoshop.  Even dropping a quicktime file onto Photoshop is better.  I find the best way to get video into Photoshop is using the Video Timeline add media into.  Its quicker, You have better control of selecting the frames you want,  And you can turn a video timeline into layers and a frame animation if that is what you want to work on.
    If you want to do video get a lost cost video editor like Premier Elements.  If you just want do do simple video editing spring for CS6 or subscribe to the cloud.  CS6 will set you back some $700 for Standard $1000 for extended.   Where $10 a month will get you the cloud. Where your get Photoshop Extended and can  also use LR.  I do not use LR or do video editing.  I get the cloud mostly for the improvements being made to ACR and ACR in Cloud Photoshop is a Filter in addition of being a Photoshop and Bridge Plug-in.
    Frame Animations and video timeline can be save for web as animated  poor choice for video or large frame animation. They can also be rendered out as video.  Video file sized are much smaller then Animated GIF have better color and can contain audio as well. Here the 1920x1080 Gif file size was nearly 29MB  where the High Quality mp4 with audio was about 6MB.
    View Screen capture in new tab or browser window the site scale screen captures very poorly at times.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I bought a new printer/scanner and the program will not import the new scanner to replace the old one. How do I do this?

    I have Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I bought a new printer/scanner and the program will not import the new scanner to replace the old one. How do I do this?

    Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm  not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

  • Photoshop does not see scanner...can't import scanned images

    I recently migrated from Windowx XP (32 bit) to Windows 7 (64bit). On the xp computer, I installed the driver for my epson V500 photo scanner, and when go to File--> Import, there is an option to import via espon scanner. However, in Window 7, with Photoshop CS4 64 bit installed, the installed scanner does not show up on the import menu. I don't know how to get it to see the scanner as it does on my XP machine. I tried copying the photoshop plugins/import-export folder from the xp machine to photoshop (64)/plugind/import-export folder, but that didn't make a difference.
    I really need the scanner to be visible inside photoshop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    If you are talking about 64 bit TWAIN there is none, and probalby will never be one.  Too many techincal problems.
    Most advise you scan with the scanner software and save to a location.  Many like this better as it does not tie up PS when scanning.
