Can't open a .psd file.

I don't know what Adobe product to download to open the file. Can you tell me?
I'm running Windows 7.

This forum is not for product questions, but for discussions on the forums themselves. In any case, PSD stands for Photoshop Document.

    Can you open any file, i.e. jpeg, etc.? Have you installed the Apple legacy Java: Java for OS X 2014-001? I'm guessing you have because you wouldn't be able to open PS at all without it. But have to ask.

  • I can't open the psd file I did yesterday! It says that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop.

    I can't open the psd file I did yesterday! It says that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop. I worked in a CS6 version but also tried opening in a CC but nothing happens. Help
    more info:
    Photoshop never crashed or anything.
    I was working in my school's mac but running windows, and the file was being saved in the school's network not on the computer. I thought it had been saved and I also copy and pasted the file in my hard drive to guarantee a copy but none of the are opening.
    The file size was appox. 1giga
    Thanks a lot

    The problem was saving over the network. Working across a network is not supported.
    This is the boilerplate text often used 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://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.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.

  • Photoshop CS Extended can't open some PSD files

    Hi,
    Yesterday I have created a new PSD file and worked on it and finally saved the file, but now i can't open the file any more. PS always fails to open the file, because of an internal error.
    I have tried to open some other PSD files, but 3 of 4 files (on my current HDD) didn't work to open and i don't know why. All of those other PSD files are at least 1 month old and PS could open these files. The last time i have opened these files was two weeks ago. The one PSD file, that worked has the following properties:
    image: 1179x1528, 72ppi,8bit,RGB, 15,04 MB
    and the files that don't work have the following properties:
    image1: 454x340, 71ppi, 16bit, RGB, sRGB (profile), 1,17 MB
    image2: 1280x1024, 71ppi, 8bit, RGB, sRGB, 1,92 MB
    image3: 1191x1644, 71ppi, 16bit, RGB, sRGB, 12,02 MB
    I have got, the meta-data out of Adobe Bridge. I can see the preview Image and the thumbnails in the open-dialog of PS. I tried to open the file with other applications like Paintshop Pro and PhotoImpact and both couldn't open them. Paintshop Pro quits, because it doesn't support the "color model".
    I don't know, what else i can do to open these files. I looked around the forum but couldn't find any solution for my problem.
    Does anyone know a solution for my problem ?
    evangelion2100
    PS: I have deleted the pref-file of PS and still it didn't work.

    Dear all. After getting the same problem and read all possible solutions online with no success finally I got rid of this problem successfully and Now it is working perfectly again, and I hope It will work for you all.
    Here it goes:
    BACKGROUND (my case): PS CS3 installed (Premium-Extended), Win Vista 32 Bits. For months it was working perfectly until yesterday, when the app stopped when attempting opening some PSD files. Some other CS3 apps either stopped. 1st I thought it was some kind of file corruption issue.
    After 3 uninstall-reinstall attempts of the whole CS3 and still troubleshooting, I went to the Vista Error Log. Regarding PS CS3 there was a DLL file named "CoolType.dll" which was suspicious to be the main cause of this ****.
    Making a research, it relates to installed Fonts in Windows, that gave me the clue to all of it.
    Yesterday, I installed fonts while working with PS CS3 Im now pretty sure that this process someway altered the Cooltype.dll file, or fonts were not installed properly.
    SOLUTION (my case): locate and uninstall recent fonts (which may have been the problem). NOW my PS3 CS3 is working more than PERFECT!!
    HOPE THIS CAN HELP. I think this topic regards some kind of failed font installation. Check it out and remember if you have modified something.

  • Not a compatible version of Photoshop...can not open my psd files...

    After "save as" a psd file, I am unable to open it.  "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."..  "There was a problem reading the layer data.  Read the composite data instead ?"  It is no problem for me to open psd files but after saving it is not possible....?

    My version of Photoshop was newer trying save form an older version..Running Photoshop CC updated..
    I don't understand if the older version was able to open the PSD it should be able to save the psd.  I can believe an old version of Photoshop not being able to open a newer version of Photoshop save psd file when newer features were used and saved into a PSD file.
    Your wording confuses me even the context does not seem to make sense to me.

  • Can I open a PSD file in Camera Raw?

    I have searched for information on this subject and everyone says  -- "just open Open As and choose camera raw".  The problem is there is no such thing as Open As (other than Open As Smart object) in my CS5 v. 12.0.2 nor in my CS4 v. 11.02.    What gives??
    In a side note I also can not open a tiff or jpeg in Camera Raw even though the preference settings indicate I should be able to do so.
    Any ideas why I do not see an Open As in the file menu of either of my PS copies?

    Yes, you can.  But not with Layers, obviously.  :~)
    However, you have to go through the File menu in Photoshop:
    File > Open
    Then, in the Open dialog box, go to the bottom-LEFT button and select Camera Raw.
    Do NOT select "Photoshop Raw" !  You want Camera Raw.

  • How can I open a psd file with layers in touch?

    I want to edit a psd file with layers in photoshop touch. Is this possible?

    No. (Kind of, sort of.) You can export PS Touch projects for import into desktop Photoshop and have the layers intact for further editing but you cannot do the reverse; any imported PSD will be automatically flattened. (I'm guessing this was done to prevent crashing. PS Touch supports 12 layers max vs. the potential thousands available in desktop Photoshop.)

  • Can't open my .psd file using CS4 windows XP & Mac OSX

    I am using photoshop CS4 on windows XP I cannot open my file. the message reads: Could not complete your request because the version is not compatible with this version of photoshop.
    I did open the file on my mac OSX CS4 as well to try to use some of the fonts installed there. Now the file will not open on either platform. Are there known issues with crossing platforms? I believe the files were always universal before?

    There is normally no problem.
    You failed to mention what format the file had.
    If fonts are missing, it should still open with an error message about the font.

  • How to open a PSD file?

    Recently made graphics in Photoshop CS5, kept it .psd format. Previously opened, and now does not want to. Writes - Unable to execute query FILE is incompatible with this version of the program PHOTOSHOP who knows whether it is
    possible to open it?

    PSD file can be opened in Illustrator and even acrobats. On Photoshop in this case is usually the most loyal. Even the previous version opens the file later version (though I do not know about CS5). Therefore, if you have Photoshop CS5
    does not open the PSD, made ​​in CS5, and if an acrobat and illustrator also did not open, then, alas, the file is actually damaged.
    I would in your place, took advantage of this program:

  • Best way to open a .psd file in FW CS5

    Hello!
    I'm new to FW and I recently found out about an ongoing issue of opening .psd documents in FW.
    Say, I know that it's generally recommended to use adjustment layers in  PS, but in FW they won't open. So maybe then its best to avoid them?  Also I know that when I open a .psd file in FW I get a small window  where I can choose if I want to have the editability or the  appearance...(1st and 2nd options out of 4). Which one is better? Or its  a trial and error thing and for each specific file, its different?  Maybe if I want to use a flatten image in the live site, it would be a  best practice to simply flatten the .psd file into .gif, .jpg or .png  before opening it in FW to avoid the issue? Of course, I mean if I don't  need layers etc. And in that case...which format would be the best out  of 3? .png because its more related to FW or it doesn't really matter?  Another thing is...PNG24 (flattened one)-is it a good idea to use it on  live sites or its best to use .gifs and .jpgs?
    Also if you could provide links to more info concerning the abovementioned issues, I'll appreciate that!
    Thanks in advance!

    I have posted some details at blogs.adobe.com/sarthak/2010/09/opening-psd-files-in-fireworks.html for more information. I think it is more of trials as you seem new to Fireworks app.
    Incase you feel comfortable sharing the psd file, someone might give you the best option to open within Fireworks.

  • When I open a psd file

    When I open a psd file, I can see the layers but nothing in the work space. It only shows a gray background. How do I get to see the image I'm working on.

    System info? Versions? Exact settings? PS only opening the merged view could indicate that the file contains data unique to Elements which it cannot interpret.
