Can't open jpg in Photoshop

hi, im building an indd file and can attach jpg files with no problem, but when I try to open these jpg files in photoshop to check them (size, resolution, etc) it says 'invalid/unknown jpeg marker', what gives? if indesign can read them does that mean that theyre ok? these jpgs were sent to me. Im working on CS3 on a Mac
thanks!

That error message indicates the file is corrupted.

Not necessarily.  You may be looking at preeview built by InDesign.

  • Error message: "Dreamweaver can't open .jpg files"

    I'm using DW 8, and I have installed the 8.0.2 update. I'm
    having trouble inserting certain JPG images into a site. I get an
    error message pop-up that states "Dreamweaver can't open .jpg
    files". It will allow me to insert some jpg files, but not all of
    them. I've tried drag & drop and going through the Insert menu.
    The files are not large at all. Doesn't appear to be any problem
    with png's or gif's. It's incredibly frustrating. Anyone have any
    suggestions? TIA.

    > why was i taught that all my web images need
    > to be in 72dpi if it doesn't really matter?
    most people suggest 72 because it was an old standard with
    the early
    macintosh DTP programs. For web use it's easier to
    standardize on it because
    when you make an image, you have to put ~some~ number in the
    resolution box
    and it might as well be 72 as any other number. It simplifies
    moving image
    files around in different applications if they are all the
    same resolution.
    For display in a browser, these will all have the same file
    size and display
    size in a web page:
    600x600 pixels at 1dpi
    600x600 pixels at 72dpi
    600x600 pixels at 6000dpi
    It's when they are used in other applications or when a
    direct url like
    /photos/1.jpg is printed out that they may display in the
    resolution, not
    the pixel dimension.
    I came across a page once where the designer always saved his
    images with a
    resolution of 6000 dpi or some other odd number because he
    thought that if
    people dragged the image off the page to save it- most of
    them wouldn't be
    able to resize it. or some other idiot reason maybe.

  • 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.

  • I can't open attachments on my iPad 2.  I have downloaded the 8.0.2 software update.  I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

    I can't open attachments on my iPad 2t and I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

    Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. 
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Why can't open jpg or some attachments on macbook

    why can't open jpg or some attachments on macbook

    Don't have a clue!  You did not provide any info other than you are using a MBP.
    Which OS are you using?
    Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.

  • Can not open jpg files

    Can not open jpg files.
    They works on Windows
    Whats the problem?

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • 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.

  • Open jpg in Photoshop/ACR

    There are time that I'd like to open jpg files in PS-CS4/ACR and others staught into PS-CS4.  The later is easy as I have a context menu option to pass the file directly to PS but sometime I'd like to go the ACR route.   I prefer not to use Bridge-CS4 if possible.  Is there a parameter I can use in a shortcut on an WinXP machine?
    Thanks,
    RON C

    An alternative way to work is to set your camera raw preferences to always open jpg files in ACR. When you select your file in Windows use your context menu to select Open With Photoshop and it will open in the ACR window ready to go. If you do not want that file to be processed in ACR then a simple click on the large Open Image button will put you into Photoshop  proper.

  • Default open jpg to photoshop cc 2014 in win 8.1

    Why dont beta testers find things like this. in windows 8.1, you can not change the default program for jpg, jpeg or gif to photoshop cc 2014 in default settings it always defaults to photoshop cc 64bit instead. Tif and Tiff however can be switched to default open to  Photoshop cc 2014 without incident. Even though I direct the jpg and gif families to photoshop cc 2014, it is always set to photoshop cc 64bit.

    That should work, but rather than using the control panel open a Windows Explorer window and right-click on a file with the extension you want to open in Photoshop. Then select the  and select the Open With option and if Photoshop CC 2014 is available in the list click it. If it's not there, select Choose Default Program and in the new window that appears choose More Options at the bottom of the window and then Look For Another App On This Computer from the bottom of the window again. Then you can navigate directly to the Photoshop CC 2014 install folder and manually select the Photoshop.exe file from there. That should then set Photoshop CC 2014 as the default program.
    If this still doesn't work, then you'll have to see about getting help from Microsoft's forums as it's really an issue with Windows and not Photoshop.

  • 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.

  • Please help! I can't open files in Photoshop 2014.2

    I installed (and reinstalled and rebooted ad nauseum) Photoshop 2014.2 and now I can't open any files in Photoshop. When I click on a file in Bridge or in File Explorer, Photoshop will open but the file won't open.
    I'm running Windows 8.1.  I've updated my graphics card driver. My files aren't corrupt, because I can open them on 2014 on my laptop. Please, please help! I'm dead in the water and this is my business!

    What have you done for trouble.shooting other than re-installing (which would probably be pretty much moot anyway if one does not uninstall and use the clean script first)?

  • Can't open my own Photoshop EPS file

    I'm using ID CS3.
    I created a clipping path on a photo, and from old force of habit, I saved it as an EPS instead of PSD (don't know if TIFFs can include clipping paths).
    Now I can't open the EPS in Photoshop. I get the "Could not complete your request because the parser module cannot parse the file" message.
    I can place the EPS in InDesign, and it looks okay (clipping path works).
    Two questions: does the error message mean the file is damaged? Should I worry about using it in ID?
    If not, how can I open the darned thing in Photoshop??
    I don't think I really need to edit this image, but I wanted to resave it as a PSD or something else that won't give me any grief if I try to open it again in the future.
    Should I never save a Photoshop file in EPS format? (Oops, that's three questions ...)
    TIA,
    Marlene

    I swear I'll never save a Photoshop file as EPS again. I never did get that file open.
    But your comment about the hard edge that a clipping path provides made me think (and zoom in on the clipping path at a zillion percent in ID). That edge DID look hard and sawtoothed.
    I ended up creating picture frames in ID that "clipped" the images as necessary, but that technique won't always work.
    If I had left the PS clipping path intact, would it have actually printed out with the hard jagged edge? I suppose I could print it out on my LaserJet and possibly answer my own question ...
