Can a brush cause a .psd not to open?

Simply put, a person I have working on a pro bono project is claiming that he can't open the .psd i sent him because he doesn't have the brushes I have... o.0
I think this is just him saying whatever off the top of his head but I can't find anywhere techincally where it says or doesn't say this can happen. So want to make sure and also have the technical information to throw back at his excuses.  I am using Photoshop CS2 for Mac and I don't know which version he is using but it is a windows machine.  I should know his version of photoshop later today if that helps. Thanks to anyone who can help me.

I would just save your brushes to your hard drive. Reset them to the PS defaults. Open and resave the PSD, and send it to him with the assurance (and fact) that you've "cleared out" the brushes.
I've loaded, unloaded and reset a ton of brushes in my time and never ever experienced this. I'm thinking he's full of it. Which seems to me your bigger worry. You do get what you pay for with free help (myself excluded), and with an attitude to boot?
Good luck.

  • What causes "report could not be opened for writing . . ." message

    "This report could not be opened for writing.  Any changes must be saved to a new file."  The version is CR 2013 SP1.  Win 7 Pro.  I'm new to CR and can't figure out why I get this error.  I've verified all Windows permissions.  It's an SAP error message - not a Windows message.  Thanks in advance.
    rd

    Hi Rd,
    Per SAP Note 1911880, this has been identified as a Bug in CR 2011. Since CR 2013 is just a rebranded version of the same tool, the SAP Note should apply to CR 2013 as well.
    For CR 2013, the issue has been resolved in FP3. I would suggest you to upgrade to the highest available version for CR 2013 and see if it works.
    Another workaround could be to right-click the CR Designer exe > Run as Administrator > Log-in with Admin credentials > try opening the report.

  • Lion quarantine causing applications to not launch/open

    Hello all,
    I seem to have tripped over this quarantine bug in Lion. Newly downloaded apps simply sit in the Dock with the sphere pulsing, and disappear when clicked on.
    I've found a few places that talk about possible workarounds with Terminal, but haven't been able to get them to work for me.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17933033#17933033

    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57406599-263/tackling-a-newly-installed-app lication-not-opening-in-os-x/
    Is there anything new known about this situation? Is there any other workaround or trick to try? This is stopping me from being able to install any new software properly. I'm hoping I don't have to wipe the system and start over, but I'm not seeing much choice. Assuming I don't trip the bug during the rebuild process and end up back in the same spot....
    Helpful pointers or information greatly appreciated,
    Markie

    Good questions, apologies for the vagueness.
    Download app from 3rd party site, haven't confirmed if something from App Store has the same problem.
    Copy app to Applications folder
    Icon appears in the Dock with the plusing "I'm launching" sphere beneath it.
    That's where it just hangs there, and clicking the icon in the Dock causes it to disappear and the launch to abort
    I don't have an anti-virus running in the background, but I do periodically run ClamXav (about once a week).
    I've tried uninstalling with AppCleaner
    I've tried uninstalling manually
    I've copied and replaced
    I've emptied Trash, Logged out, restarted, tried the Terminal to flip quarantine bit workaround, etc -- all multiple times with no change in behavior

  • PSD library: extension could not be opened because it is not signed correctly ! what can i do???

    PSD CC: extension could not be opened because it is not signed correctly! What can i do???

    The black screen can be an indication of permission issues or other things.  Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    I already made an accoount, so how can I change it so that I do not have to choose a type of credit card. Cause it does not give me the option of NONE

    Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly ? The instructions work for me e.g. selecting a free app in the App Store app and tapping on 'free', then 'install app' and 'create new apple id' - filling in my details then gave a 'none' option on the payment details :

    Should I check the memory cards themselves? Reseat them?
    Yes.
    Memtest X or Rember to test the RAM.
    Reseat is also good.
    The iPhone 4 doesn't like USB 1.1 much.
    after the update the computer was working well, except for this freeze when ever I connect iPhone.
    I'd try USB 2.0 PCI. That's how I connect my iPhone 4s, and have connected all iPhones and iPods, to my G4.
    Never an issue.
    Can't say the same for USB 1.1.......
    The above (previous post) linked PCI card is cheap enough.
    Want cheaper, try this:
    http://www.amazon.com/Protronix®-5-Port-Controller-Card-Chipset/dp/B005JE2U82/re f=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1337472141&sr=8-2
    The NEC chipset is the desired chipset, regardless of what OS the maker says is compatible.
    OS X has native NEC chipset USB support.

    Hello abyjohn,
    I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working, and if I was getting a message about the accessory not being optimized.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this.

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

  • Can't use updater; iTunes does not open when I plug in myiPod nano

    I am not a cdomputer wizard, so please don't get too technical with your answers. I just received an iPod nano 4GB and installed the software CD; I plugged the nano in using the USB cord but iTunes did not open.I tried doing the updater (9/05) but that would not run.I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, reset the iPod,but still nothing. Alos if I unplug my iPod from the USB cord and plug it back in, NOTHING happens.I must reset it just to get the Apple icon to come on and then the batter charges and the "Do not disconnect" message comes on. I do see an ! with a folder beside it sometimes. Read the support page for this problem, but nothing helps. Of course, Aplle offers no phone support that I can find, so I am stuck with either a bad iPod, bad software, or both. I use norton internet securities with spy sweeper software, but have not had po0rblems with other software I have added. Please help me! I am at my wit's end.
    Thanks

    You can click "Contact Us" on any of the main pages to get the support number:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    What version of Windows are you running? And your description of the problem isn't terribly clear. You mentioned that plugging in the iPod does nothing, but then say it causes the "Do Not Disconnect" screen appear on the iPod?

    Starting your Mac in "Safe Mode" (see below) will load only Apple-provided kernel extensions. Observing its perfomance in that mode will be instructive.
    The problems you describe are likely to have been caused by garbage software of which "TechTool Pro" is only one example. That system has been altered from its factory configuration through the installation of several third party system modifications, any one of which can cause poor performance. Interaction between two or more is another possibility. Running a torrent client is another way of inviting malware intrusion.
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation

    So, I am working on a large and complex document in AI CC 2014, and periodically this message ("Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation") pops up and drops me into outline mode. I can work around it by hiding some parts of the illustration or changing zoom, so it looks like a resource issue. But what resource? RAM doesn't seem likely: I have 32 GB or memory, 400 GB of free disk space for paging, and the Mac Activity Monitor shows no sign of memory pressure. (Illustrator is only using 1 GB). So what's going on? Is it a graphics hardware issue? I don't have the latest or greatest: my iMac has an AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 1 GB. Is that the problem? Would a new computer help, or is it some internal thing with Illustrator and a new computer would be a waste of money. The error message is completely uninformative as to the cause of the problem. Does Illustrator CC have a log file or any other source of info?
    System summary:
    Mac Illustrator CC 2014
    27-inch iMac, Mid 2011
    3.4 GHz Core i7
    32 GB RAM; 400 GB Free Disk Space
    AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1 GB
    Error Message:
    "Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation"
