Can't Open Path From Photoshop

When attempting to open an .ai file, exported from a path in photoshop, I get an "unknown error" message and it can't open it. Both are CS3. How can I make this work?

A Work Path is the path you're currently working on or have most currently worked on, usually with the pen tool or other path-related shape tool. It shows up in the Paths palette as, of course "work path" (in italics)
To turn a work path into a User Path, double-click a path in the Paths palette and give it a name, like "Path 1" or as you mentioned "path 2". Now it is a User Path and should export to AI just fine..
Be advised that if you "export paths to Illustrator" and you have many user paths in the document, they will all export. I personally haven't tried copy/pasting or exporting single paths, so I don't know how well that works.

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.

I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP. I cannot open bridge from photoshop, which I have done for years. When I am in Photoshop, when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen and it puts me into bridge. This is not happening, the small wheel at the bottom of the screen just keeps spinning. Its like its stuck or caught in a loop. I can't get into bridge. I tried shutting down and starting up again but the problem remains. Looking for help. Dan

Thanks for your response, I was able to open bridge from File-Browse in Bridge. This worked, but was not able to go back to the way I always opened Bridge. At least I could get to Bridge and go into Camera Raw. I never tried to open Bridge from the Start menu. The odd thing about this is, it has happened before, and to get it "unstuck" and working again, I would shut down and restart again in a few minutes, and things would go back to normal. This time it did not go back to normal after several attempts. I shut down for about 3-4 hours, restarted, and it seems to be back to normal again. I am not sure if it's a problem that is getting worse each time it happens. And yes I am using Mini Bridge in photoshop CS5. Thank you for your help. Dan

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.

How to use imported paths from Photoshop/Illustrator as motion guides

Hi folks,
I've been raking the internet with no success for an answer to my question, but I've had no luck so far.
What I'm hoping to achieve animation wise is to have a shape move around a set path that was created in Photoshop. The reason being, it's a very specific shape (near enough a square but with curved corners and a chunk missing out of one of the sides), and I used the paths feature in Photoshop to create it and stroke the path for the smoothest possible effect. What I'd ideally like to do is import the same path I used to create the shape into Flash Professional CS6 and then use that same path to guide a small symbol around the edge of the square.
So far, I've worked out how to apply motion to a symbol through basic tweens, and then I can draw out a line using the pencil tool and apply that to the tween so it follows the pencil line instead of just going from point A to point B. The problem is, this looks awful...I'm not good enough with a mouse to create absolutely perfect shapes freehand, so I just want to be able to use the Photoshop path as my motion guide instead of having to make another one from scratch.
I've looked around for various importing methods, the most success I've had is exporting the paths to an Illustrator file, and then importing the Illustrator file into Flash directly. However, I have NO idea where these paths go when they're imported, or how to access them. If I import them to the stage, they seemingly disappear before I've even seen them, and if I import them to the library they just aren't there.
I could also do with a brief description of how paths work in Flash - I'm familiar with the Photoshop layout, what with the paths appearing in a panel next to the layers one (makes perfect sense to me, as you can just switch between the two panels to view whatever you want). I just don't understand how they work in Flash and what I should be looking for....
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Todd

I had a play around with some variations of this. What I can't grasp is why Flash won't recognise my shape layer as a motion path. I've tried breaking it down, that doesn't work... I traced it narrowly in Photoshop and imported it as a thin line with a gap (so essentially a line with two ends), and it comes into Flash as a bitmap or something of that sort. I found an option that traces the bitmap, and appears to convert it into a shape layer...I've managed to find the optimal settings so the line is joined all the way through apart from the start and end points. The only thing is, Flash seems to not even notice this as a guide layer when I apply it to the symbol I'm trying to animate. It just doesn't even notice it's there. The object moves straight from point A to point B in a straight line, the guide layer does nothing to adjust the motion... Is it not possible for the traced line to act as a motion guide? It's a shape, it is a single line with a start point and an end point, and there are no other instances of anything else in the layer - just the line and nothing else.
This seems way more difficult than it should be...I'm sure Adobe could have integrated a MUCH easier system for importing paths from Photoshop that actually exist in Flash rather than disappearing into some abyss instead!
Here is a screenshot of what I'm working with: http://gyazo.com/4c1046767e1ee8bf99f65751b9ba81b8
The long black oval is the shape I'm trying to animate. I've tried applying tweens to it while it's in shape form and while it's in every different symbol form, all to no avail.
The black line is what I'm trying to use as the guide. Having looked online, people seem to be able to just use the "paste in place" option and it somehow knows exactly what they mean and animates around the line perfectly. I tried that and it didn't work (no surprise there), and then I tried the motion guide layer setup and it also didn't work. I'm not sure if tracing a bitmap into a shape layer somehow removes any possibility of the line being recognisable as a line or something...could that be the case?
Is there a simple way to turn a shape layer (in this case the black line) into a motion guide that I'm missing? I thought just turning the layer into a guide layer would do the trick, but obviously not :/

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,

Files that were created earlear also not opened.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
SSL yes
port 587
SMTP Authentification Yes
Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
I'll try and use the old passwords later.

Can't open nautilus from applications menu

I find that I can't open nautilus from applications menu any more.
In the terminal, it won't open nautilus when running 'nautilus' without specifying a location or --new-window option.
I've checked and tried to modify /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop and /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop, but it didn't work.
The values of Exec option in the two files are as follows:
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop: Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
/usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop: Exec=nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop
Also, I have tried to reinstall nautilus. I didn't work, either.
Any one can help?

ooo wrote:
Are you using gnome classic session? Or have you enabled desktop icons?
Sounds like the nautilus-classic.desktop could be getting launched during gnome-session startup, which should happen in both of the cases above.
According to my testing, starting nautilus with 'nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop' causes the exact behavior you're describing.
I'm using standard gnome without desktop icons, and I don't have any issues with nautilus, so disabling them would probably help, although that could be a drag if you really want desktop icons.
I still don't understand why the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop wouldn't work though, since it has the --new-window flag. Apparently you can't even launch a new window via the right click menu item.
This could happen if gnome-shell recognizes the nautilus-classic.desktop as nautilus, and starts using it's .desktop file instead when you try to launch a new window.
If so you could probably fix this from the .desktop file somehow. I might be able to look into it later..
I'm also using standard gnome, and I have enabled desktop icons.
Disabling desktop icons makes it work.
Thanks!
I once tried to modify nautilus-classic.desktop to Exec=natilus --new-window, but it didn't help.
