Unable to open .png file in cs4

I recently upgraded to photoshop cs4 and am unable to open a .png file that I used to open frequently in cs2.  It says photoshop cannot support this type of file. Does anyone know how to fix the problem? Thank you!

Make sure you have the PNG.plugin placed in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug-ins/File Formats.
You clould also check it from inside PS by choosing Photoshop -> About Plug-In.
If you don't see the PNG... it's not installed or indicate if it's not loaded properly.

  • Unable to open PNG files "not the right kind of document"

    I just noticed this error today when I tried to open several PNG files, some of which I created with Photoshop: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
    I'm running Photoshop 9.0.2 on Windows XP Pro. Opening other file types (gif, jpg) works fine. I also noticed that in the save as dialog box that PNG is not a listed file type.

    PNG certainly is listed as a file type. I have saved many of them using Save As, many quite recently, using PSCS3; and I just did a couple in PSCS2. Here's the Save As box in PSCS2 with an 8-bit flattened image being saved as PNG:
    <br />
    <a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1PSNAANh2tPbX1MMDLjmQLbHFqm91" /></a>
    <img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1PSNAANh2tPbX1MMDLjmQLbHFqm91_thumb.png" border="0" />
    <br />And here's the Save As box in CS2 with a 16-bit layered image being saved as PNG:
    <br />
    <a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=145dp6qArIbj9k8JG23J1jGojM4imR1" /></a>
    <img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/145dp6qArIbj9k8JG23J1jGojM4imR1_thumb.png" border="0" />
    <br />
    <br />Both PNG images opened properly. The second one opened as 16-bit, flattened (layers aren't preserved in PNG).
    <br />
    <br />And both of the above images were Saved As PNG from PSCS2, also.

  • Unable to open CR2 files in PSE8 or Bridge CS4?

    Unable to open CR2 files in PSE8 or Bridge CS4? Any help would be appreciated.

    You would need PSE 11 to open those files directly into PSE. Your options are:
    1. Use DPP instead.
    2. Download the free DNG converter and use that to convert your raw files to dng files that your version of the raw converter can open:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5518
    3. Upgrade to PSE 11, although that won't help Bridge any.

  • I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop.  I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG.  Is there a way to use

    I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3.  When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files.  I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file.  I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud.  I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible.  Can anyone advise me what to do?

    The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Some options:
    Upgrade to CS6
    Join the Cloud
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

  • "Unable to open project file" Error Message

    I pulled an all-nighter (13 hours of editing) last night to create a critical project in FCE 3.5.1 on my Intel iMac running 10.4.11 then left this afternoon for a few hours and shut down my machine. Came back tonight and tried to open the project (which I saved on my Maxtor 1 TB external drive along with all of the scratch disk files). To my absolute panic, it won't open the file now with an error message that simply says, "Unable to open project file". HELP!!!! Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

    In the past I found (and reported to Apple Feedback) the same bug Steve reports here, but I should recall that the problem:
    - only appeared in PAL projects (probably not the case for kscritch) - never heard of it in NTSC
    - was consistent in FCE 3.x, not so in FCE 4
    I made tests importing .psd images with transparency into PAL projects using FCE 4, and I had various behaviours: sometimes the project worked, sometimes I couldn't open the project again (as in FCE 3), sometimes I had error messages with inconsistent behaviour (msg like "file error", but the project opened and file was there...), etc. so I decided to do without.
    Now I only import .tif or .png images when I need transparency

  • Unable To Open Any Files In Photoshop CC

    Hi All,
    I am unable to open any file formats in my trial version of Photoshop CC. This problem seems to occur daily and the only way to resolve it is by restarting my laptop?
    File formats I am trying to open include a new PSD file, old PSD files and also jpg files, png files and pdf files.
    I am using an HP ProBook laptop but not sure of the model number.
    Any help to prevent this from happening would be greatly appreciated and if anyone needs anymore information don't hesitate to ask me?
    Thanks

    Allyson,
    Another welcome here.
    Along with the answers to Trevor's questions, how are you attempting to Open those Image files, i.e. Dbl-clicking on them in Windows Explorer, or from the File>Open menu in the Toolbar? If you are using the former, please try the latter. If you want to work from Windows Explorer, Rt-click on the file, and choose Open With, then Photoshop.
    Your comment about WMP being the default viewing program, seems to indicate that your File Associations have been changed, with WMP now set as the target program. If this is the case, then you will likely want to go to Folder Options (check for your specific version of Windows), and reset the File Associations for, say PSD, PSB, JPEG, etc., to point to Ps.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Unable to open PNG, save for web, and missing half of the format options under save as.

    Using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit with SP1.
    When using Photoshop CC 64-Bit, i am unable to save for web, open PNG, or save as for about half the format options. I don't have any additional plugins installed, nor have I messed with the plugins folder.
    When trying to open PNG files it says: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
    Photoshop CC 32-Bit works without any of these issues. I'll be switching to 32-Bit until this is resolved. Hoping I don't have to uninstall/reinstall (Install files are huge and take forever to download and I don't know how to save them to the hard drive with CC, thanks).
    Chris

    Sounds like you are missing some of the required plugins - possibly an updater failed, or someone moved/deleted the wrong directory.
    Yes, you'll need to reinstall to restore the missing plugins.

    I searched for the TUXCONFIG file but could not find it in the tuxedo installation folder.
    I read that i have to create the TUXCONFIG,if missing, using tmloadcf.exe and the ubbconfig file, but the only UBBCONFIG file is located in "\samples\atmi\rpcsimp\" folder.
    How do i create the TUXCONFIG file?
    Did i miss something with the installation? What location should this file exist after your tuxedo installation?

    Hi
    The TUXCONFIG file normally is created automatically when you create your domain.
    In this case I think you ran into trouble because the path of installation is too long!
    Note the error in your log:
    115818.SU1491!PSWATCHSRV.5832.6140.-2: LIBTUX_CAT:1519: ERROR: TUXCONFIG value (C:\Documents and Settings\klondon\psft\pt\8.50\appserv\hrms\PSTUXCFG) is longer than the allowed length of 64
    Your path is 69 chars long!
    I would suggest that you re-try the configuration with a shorter tuxedo and PS_HOME: perhaps in the root directory (c:\PSHOME)
    In the past I've also noticed that installations have problems with paths that have spaces - ex: 'Documents and settings' , so I would avoid that as well.

  • ERROR: Unable to open structapps file!

    Hello,
    Having modified the structapps.fm in FM10, I am getting the following error within a dialog when attempting to use the same file in FM8:
    ERROR: Unable to open structapps file! FA_errno -43
    Is FM not backward compatible ? OR do I need to reread the file in FM8
    Thanks

    The file should be saved in the FM version that you're using it in. You can't use any newer FM version file in any older version of FM, e.g. FM8 can't open any FM10 files (except for the MIF formats).

  • ZAV 10 - Unable to open parameter file error

    When trying to launch a ZAV 10 app, C-Cure Administration Console, users are getting an error "**Unable to open parameter file cc800cl.pf, errno 2. (1247)". This only appears to be happening on Win7. This did work when first created, but after a few weeks the error has started to pop-up.

    If this was working and is not now, and you are certain nothing has changed on the client systems (or at least nothing that could interfere here), then this might be an issue with the license used when building the application. What is the expiry date of your license and was it applied prior to building this exe?
    If this isn't expiring please open an SR for this issue, if you can. This is the information the support team will require:
    - Copies of any warnings or errors around the time the issue occurs (or a copy of the application and system event logs, in .evtx format)
    - A copy of the exe you are using
    - If you can build the exe again as a diagnostic-mode executable and provide the diagnostics generated when attempting to run, that can be very helpful
    - It may also be required that you send installation media for the application and your build process, so the team can attempt to reproduce the issue in-house
    - You will also typically be asked for the .xappl file and associated Files folder, if reproducing in-house is required. This will become absolutely necessary if a ticket needs to be filed with Spoon, so sending it ahead of time is a good idea

  • "Unable to open config file" Error when starting tomcat

    hi all,
    Here is the output from two of the log files when I start tomcat4 on my linux box. I have configured the mod_jk on the tomcat side.
    From the output of the second log file, it seems that the ajp13 worker I defined was started successfully. What I don't understand is the following:
    1) In catalina.out, where des the line 'Unable to open config file' come from? Which config file?
    2) Tomcat4 is supposed to generate a mod_jk.conf automatically, but I don't see any file generated in 'conf/auto/'.

    I have all those files too.
    I think the 'config file' mentioned in the error log is the mod_jk.conf.
    On Jason Hunter's tomcat4 guide, it says don't use the tomcat4 RPM to installed. What is the difference bettween the RPM version and the tar.gz version? The only difference I can think of is that in the RPM version, the conf directory is in the 'etc/tomcat4/conf'. Could it be the reason that tomcat4 cannot read the config file? But it has no problem reading the server.xml though.

  • "Unable to Open Project File" - error

    Does anyone know how to resolve an "Unable to Open Project File" - error. I accidentally shut down my computer wrong, although Final Cut wasn't open.

    Welcome to the forums.
    The project file might have gotten corrupted. Look for the AUTOSAVE VAULT (typically in the DOCUMENTS>FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS folder) and open the most recent version. Copy it to your main project folder if it works.
    If not, then try trashing your prefs with FCP Rescue.

    This could be a Launch Services issue. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
    Resetting Launch Services
    If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
    1. Quit all applications.
    2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
    3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
    4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
    5. Click the Execute button.
    6. Restart the computer.
    BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.
