Can't open images in Photoshop

I was away from home for two months and my Mac book was turned off. Since I returned recently and booted it up, I have been unable to open any images (be they tiff, jpeg, gif) in Photoshop and only receive the "not responding" message. Any ideas?

Bridge CS6 can't open image with Photoshop CS6

I installed Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6 with my Mac Pro with drive 1, which was cloned with drive 2 as a backup.
Now every time I try to open my RAW file in Bridge, it opens the file with the Photoshop with drive 2 instead of 1.
I have tried to eject the drive 2, but Bridge (with drive 1) fails to find the Photoshop in drive 1.
I have to force to open the Photoshop CS6 before Bridge in order to open the image, is there a way to sovle this problem?

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

If you are actually interested in trouble-shooting please read this (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for quicker answers"):

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far anyway? (Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point.)

Open image in Photoshop

I want my images to open in Photoshop CS when I double click on the file, but even when I've been working on them, and saved them as Photoshop files they just open the application, not the image. There's a brief flash of an image but it never opens. I don't appear to have iPhoto, so a previously suggested answer appears not to help, and have just loaded Tiger and its latest updates (prior to re-loading Photoshop). The only way I can currently open images in Photoshop is thru the tedious "Open" menu within Photoshop, followed by a trawl through the file structure, or via the application's own file browser.

Hi Fearless,
How did you reload PS? do you reinstall it?
If you didn't reinstall it then might have to install it again.
Here is some old information I had copied and pasted
Try this suggestion I copied and pasted from MacFixIt first
"Photoshop CS: Fix for file opening problem Yesterday we reported that since installing Mac OS X 10.4, Photoshop CS refuses to open any new files or create any new documents, reporting a "program error" when one tries to do so. Our previously reported workaround involved re-installing Photoshop CS, but MacFixIt reader Bryan Schappel now offers a faster solution:
"This happens because the Archive and Install option does not copy over a necessary folder for Photoshop. The critical folder is called 'ScriptingAdditions' and is stored in the main Library folder. This folder contains one file 'Adobe Unit Types' that makes Photoshop open files that have been double-clicked or dragged to the PS icon in the Dock.
"Simply move this folder (and file) from the 'Previous System' backup to the Library folder, relaunch Photoshop and all is well again. No need to completely re-install.""
I copied an pasted instead of putting the link in because it is not on the front page and you would have to search around to find it. Hope it is ok to do that here.

Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

I have Photoshop CS5.1 (bought in 2011). The photoshop Camera Raw plug-in is not recognizing the format of my new Nikon D610. I updated the version of my Camera Raw plug in and am still getting this message when trying to open images in photoshop. Please

I have Photoshop CS5.1 (bought in 2011). The photoshop Camera Raw plug-in is not recognizing the format of my new Nikon D610. I updated the version of my Camera Raw plug in and am still getting this message when trying to open images in photoshop. Please help.

This link shows that ACR 8.3 supports the Nikon D610 and 6.7.1 was the final version for CS5.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
So you can upgrade to CS6 and ACR 8.7.1
or using the DNG converter, convert your Nikon raw files to dng format to open in CS5.
Here is the download link: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
or Windows: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
And here is a great video tutorial on how to use the converter.

Can't save image with Photoshop.

We do often have a issue where we can not save the open image in Photoshop CS 6. To this day the problem appears when the image contains Adjustments Layers with Layer Masks.
It does not matter if we try to save the image locally or on a network volume, we do only get a prompt telling us there is a Program Error. Trying to save as TIFF with layers instead of the preferred PSD format
does not make any difference also.
If we create a new image and copy all layers with masks and all the photoshop paths, this image can be saved and the original image can also be saved if we do a flattening prior to saving.
I do believe this is a bug in photoshop and has nothing to do with corrupted images or other computer related issues. We are working with Macintosh and experience this problem in both Mac OS 10.8.5 and 10.9.3

JPG compression does not support transparency, I think you
have to convert it to png of gif first.

I just installed Photoshop Elements that is supposed to be for Mac. The message appeared that said, ""You can't open the application Photoshop Elements 2.0 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I have a Mac OS X, Version 10.8.5,

Can't Open Files in Photoshop CS6 13.1.1

Ever since I updated my Photoshop to 13.1.1 I can't open files in Photoshop. Everytime I try to use file > browse it hangs when I select a file to open and then when I try to just double-click on a .psd file in my normal Finder it never opens and it hangs the program.
I'm running 10.8.2 on a 15" MBP Retina and using Creative Cloud. Any help would be appreciated since it's preventing me from working on this computer.

Cyndi -
I would start with the easiest thing Archive the preference file to your desktop then we can continue from there if that doesnt work.
- Close PS
- Type this into your run menu
%appdata%/adobe/adobe photoshop cs3/
- Now drag the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings folder onto your desktop
- Keep the adobe folder window open
- Launch PS
- If this works then there was something corrupted in the preferences somewhere
- If this doesnt work then delete the newly created preference folder from the adobe folder and drag the one from your desktop back into the adobe folder.
Hope this helps.

Can't open vidoes on Photoshop?

I can't open vidoes in Photoshop CS4 Extended. When i import a quicktime file it says Movie cannot be opened. When i try to import a .mp4 file i get a message "Photoshop Stopped working" Whats going on why can't i import vidoes in to photoshop?

Bill,
I've read the three or so pages on the subject of codec and wrappers. This
is way beyond what it should be. I have a colleague with a mac and cs4. and
does 'file,open,selects the .mov and they open. I must change from ''all
readable documents'' to ''all documents''. Even then , when I look at the
''format'' option, ''quicktime'' is not available. I have just fully
uninstalled pcs4 including preferences, updated quicktime and reinstalled
ps4. unfortunately, I still have the same problem.
2011/5/17 Bill Hunt <[email protected]>
What is the CODEC contained in the MOV "wrapper?" It could well be one that
PS-Extended cannot use, though you might have it properly installed on your
Mac.

For a little background, see this *
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0* on "wrappers," and then
this http://forums.adobe.com/thread/546811?tstart=0 for background on
CODEC's.
>
I am puzzled why the MOV wrapper is not showing as a supported file format
in PS-Extended, and especially on your Mac. At that point, PS-Extended is
not yet looking inside the wrapper. You are not getting the linking to that
wrapper, and that is odd, at least to me. The issue with the contained CODEC
would surface, when PS-Extended tries to Import the AV file.

Good luck,

Can't update Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw, etc. after photoshop reinstall. Every time I try to update recive information - during download this update error apear. Finish and try again later. What to do, without Camera Raw update can't open image from my cam

As I mentioned, there is an error while trying to update photoshop, camera raw, etc. I receives message when you try to download the update, an error occurred. Exit and try again later.
What to do? Without Camera Raw update I can't open Raw files from my cameras. Guy from chat on adobe website just give me link for support website, it's ridiculous.

Hi,
Finally I made an update. I used download files from Adobe update pages (the same websites that were offline for few days), I couldn't do it automatically from PS CS5 application. Last problem is Adobe Extension update, can't do it automatically and manually becouse there are no update files for Adobe Extension CS5 for Windows (only for Mac). Most important is that my Camera Raw can open files from my cameras now. Thank You for your help.
Hey abdzi could you give a short explanation were you found which download files?? I have the same problem and realy need the Camera Raw update. Please!! Thank you

Photoshop 10 can't open image CD's from another Photoshop file.

My Windows 7 and Photoshop Elements 10 will not open image CD's downloaded from another Photoshop file. Could open them in a previosu Windows XP and older Photoshop. Now get message: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Program default control panel."
There are hundreds of asscociation files listed. WHICH ONE DO I CHOOSE????

Right-click on file and choose properties.
To the right of “Opens With” click on the change button.
In the Open With dialog click on the Browse button
Navigate to:
Program Files (X86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10
Select (highlight) PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
Click Apply
Click OK

Can't open EPS from PhotoShop CS4 in PS CS6 (or much of anything else)

I have some EPS files that I just can't open - I'm trying to get the creator to send them in another format but they're not responding to any of my emails so I need to try and get the data out of them.
The start of the header looks like so:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%Creator: Adobe Photoshop Version 12.1x20110328 [20110328.r.145 2011/03/28:10:30:00 cutoff; r branch]
So that looks to me like CS4? CS6 is v14 so I'm guessing it's CS4.
They won't open in Photoshop, Illustrator, Inkscape or Irfanview.
The specific message in all of these is either unknown error or parsing error.
They will open in Acrobat Pro, but the resultant PDF is 100 times smaller than the original EPS (with no image compression etc.), around 1MB vs around 100MB, and all the raster graphics are flattened into a single layer, and the text is all outlines - I can't do any work with it.
Any ideas at all? Or shall I just keep trying to get hold of the creator? Or is there more information that I can provide to help figure this out?

OK - just to answer my own question. Aside from my difficulty opening them - the data I wanted was never there anyway. I now have the original PSD files and if you export them to an EPS from PS, the behavior I was seeing in Acrobat is correct - the raster layers do get flattened, and the text converted to outlines. So those files would never have been of use to me even if I could open them with something other than Acrobat.
