Can't reconnect PSD files.

Hi
My partner (Final cut Studio 2) send me a project file. We're collagorating on this project. I have FCE 4.5.
I was able to reconnect all the media but he also sent me some layered PSD files. I can see them in the finder, but when I try to reconnect them, I get an error msg "The file does not have enough video tracks to reconnect to stripe at time 00:00:00;00 in sequence "xxxx.psd. Click okay to make this item independent and go to the next clip or Cancel to skip all clips from this file"
I'm still learning this FCE. How can I reconnect these files fo my FCE sees them? All the video clips have been reconnected and rendered and play fine on my MBP except for these PSD files.
There's 3 sets of layered files in the sequence. Should I add more video tracks or shouldn't FCE put in what it needs?
Allen

It's in the sequence and on the timeline but showing off line. Anyway Mike said if I re-imported them I'd loose the layers. There's 3 sections, 1st is all the layers, then each of the 2 graphics are seperated one at the begining and one at the end. they're title seq.
He said he'd show me what to do when we meet. See, we each have a copy of the video clips. He does his work in Studio 2 and saves his stuff to his raid. Sends me the project file to open in FCE. So I have to reconnect the files and tell MBP they're on my external LaCie. Everything went good except for those PSD files. All of the info was in the CFP project file plus he sent me the graphics seperately. this is a wierd deal for me!
Thanks anyway. I'll let you know what happens.

Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2?

Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2? Thanks in advance!

Actually you can open a CS3 file with smart filters in CS2
the only problem is CS2 will not understand the Smart filter and flatten it.
If you leave the smart filtered object alone in CS2 save the file and it should still be a smart filtered object in CS3

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
My home and office have different version each.

Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems.

In domain environment standard users can't open .psd files

QuickView, Preview.. etc. Can't Display PSD files

I've been having this problem for some time now - as far back as can remember with OS X.
When I try to view a psd file, (prior to Lep) in Preview or Xee, all I get is the transparent Alpha Channel - ie usually a solid blank neutral gray or checker board white and gray. And as of Leopard (and Snow Leo), this situation now includes Quickview. I get no actual image, or sometimes part of an image displayed, but never the full image that is displayed in PS or PSE.
The ONLY exceptions to this problem I have found is an ancient app called ACDSee v1.6.9 (2001) and Quicktime Player. Both display psd files perfectly.
The preferences to save Image Previews: Always Save, Icon, Full Size, Mac Thumbnail, Windows Thumbnail.
Am I saving psd files wrong somehow so that the default system apps can not display psd files properly?
BTW - this problem is completely consistent on EVERY system I have tried it on regardless of the OS X version (Tiger, Leo, Snow Leo) and Photoshop version (PSE 2, 4, 5, 6; PS 7, CS1, CS2).
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is a very irritating problem..
TIA

This isn't an issue or something you are doing incorrectly, PSD is an Adobe format that is not widely supported. You need to open it within your Adobe application, such as Photoshop.

How can i edit psd files in PS touch or which software/app i need for androiud tablet (newest tablet)

how can i edit psd files in PS touch or which software/app i need for androiud tablet (newest tablet) @samsung

You can import PSD files into Photoshop Touch but the PSD file will be flattened. (The original, of course, will remain untouched; PS Touch just copies it upon import.) I imagine this was done as a failsafe measure since PS Touch has no support for masks or adjustment layers (not to mention that PS Touch only has support for about 12 layers).

Can't reconnect PSD-Images

Hi all
Problem:
For upgrading to OS X 10.5 I've chosen a plain new installation and saved my images (which where referenced outside the Aperture-Lib) to another USB-Drive.
After Installation of Aperture I saved my images back. By using the "Referenced Masters Tool" I could successfully reconnect all RAW- and JPEG-images, but my PSD-Files - which altogether where created by using the "Open with extern Editor" function) couldn't be reconnected.
*History Background:*
I import my RAW-images as extern reference. When I’ve finished my Photoshop-Work, the PSD-Files were initially inside the Aperture-Library, so I used to relocate them to the same folder where the RAW-Files were…
What can I do to reconnect my PSDs?
Thanks for help
Vowchr

I've got the same problem, except with all of my TIF files. I replaced a hard drive with a larger one and gave the new drive the same name. I was able to reconnect my Canon raw files without a problem. But, the TIFs won't reconnect using the "Manage Referenced Files" command. Trying to "Show In Finder", "Relocate Master" and "Consolidate Master" all give me the same message: the drive for the photo is offline and it needs to be online. Well, that drive is long gone, I have a new drive with the same name in its place and Aperture gives me no option to just go and find the file on the hard drive! There used to be a "Locate" command that would come up and let you navigate to the file on your hard drive to reconnect. But, that never comes up now. Any ideas?

Can not open .psd files in Photoshop!

I am using Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 (Macintosh 10.5.6). Files created in Photoshop are saved to disc as .psd. Next time upon opening (both double clicking file and opening from within Photoshop) message appears: ‘Could not complete your request because the file is empty’ (I can see the file and ‘look’ at it using space bar). Older .psd files open normally. I did start using Spaces a few days ago. Maybe that's the culprit? Any ideas?

That sounds like the files are corrupted. I would be looking for disk problems.
And you really should be on MacOS 10.5.8 - they fix a lot of bugs with each dot release.

Can't Open PSD files in Photoshop! What's happening?

Hi guys,
Can someone pls tell me why when I open a PSD file in Photoshop CS2 or CS3 , the psd file apparently seems to be opened but in reality nothing happens as I only get a blank image in Photoshop? In other words, it's like the file has not been opened at all as I only get the usual very small grey and white boxes in Photoshop although at the same time the psd filename and other data associated with the file can be seen on Photoshop's interface as if the file has been loaded normally when in fact it's far from it?!!!...
Am I doing something wrong?
Just to let you know this happens after I tried to open a downloaded file from the Internet but it happens all the time when I try these kind of files in photoshop.
Pls help
Thanks in advance for your help..
Corolla...

Hello guys,
Thanks for your replies first of all.
To answer your questions John, please refer to the Print Screen in this link: http://i32.tinypic.com/2vhzvvm.jpg
I highlighted in yellow the most important things related to this topic in the pic, also referred to in my previous email.
I got the psd file from a public filehosting site and many users thanked the uploader for his great upload; thus I must have something wrong or I'm doing it wrong as the others seem not to have this prob!!!
As regards Ed's question, no indeed, I don't have any problems if I create a psd file myself closes it and opens it whenever I want.
And the filesizes are not at all small as the ones I'm talking about and which I'm having the problems with are sized from 20MB to 32MB.
Reference to your last question Ed, no I haven't tried to trash/reset preferences as per the FAQ as I have only been using Photoshop very recently.
Thanks in advance.
Corolla
Seems like strange I don't know.

Photoshop CS 5.1 - can't open psd files

Hi,
I have Photoshop CS 5.1 32bit and 64bit (running on 64bit windows), and sometimes it happens that I can't open files (jpg, psd, ...) in it. When I drag and drop a file to photoshop, or click on Open file dialog, or even try to make a new document, nothing happens.
I have tried tricks with deleting preferences, but it didn't help. The only thing that helps is restarting windows - but this is not a practical solution for me.
I would expect some help from Adobe on this, since we pay a lot for their products!
Thanks,
Marek

Hi, Marek,
Unfortunately this is a forum for the CommunityHelp application and not a Photoshop forum, so there isn't a way to get an answer here.
Might I suggest that you describe your problem in a Photoshop forum such as:

Previews in Bridge & Vista -- can't compare .psd files because...

Vista won't show me a preview and Bridge only opens with one window.
It's important for me to clean out my backup by making sure that I have the most recent graphic file stored (I have multiple copies of files backed up at different times). I can't do this easily because I can't see .psd previews in Vista, and I can only open Bridge once. Therefore, I can't compare files that are in different locations & on different hard drives next to each other. Does anyone have a solution for this? (btw, I don't think Bridge is that hot of a program -- it's not very flexible and all it does is crash.)
Camille

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I reduced Bridge to compact mode & could then open multiple windows. I spent all morning cleaning & organizing my drives! I have a few more questions, though:
1. When you're looking at the folders in Bridge, all you see is a blank folder. It doesn't show a graphic of what's inside the folder the way that Vista does. Is there a way to get Bridge to do that?
2. When you're looking at folders in Vista, most graphic file formats generate a view of the image. But if the folder has Photoshop files in it, all you see is a .psd icon. I'm assuming there is no way to generate a view of a .psd file in Vista. But, even when I'm in Photoshop and doing something basic, such as opening a file, I don't get a view of the image (only an icon) unless I actually click on the file, then a view appears in the dialog box. I don't understand why the .psd files don't generate images in the program itself. I thought it might be a setting in my hardware that's not turned on, because this just doesn't make sense to me.
Thank you.

How can I open psd files into Potoshop CC from bridge

PSD files will not open into Photoshop CC from Bridge CC. I get this error message...“Windows cannot find, C:\program files\adobe\adobe photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\photoshop.exe.” I can open jpeg, tiff and raw. I'm using Windows 7. I do not have CS5 on my computer. Help...

You must have uninstalled CS5 after you installed CC. Your registry is fouled up. You can either uninstall CC, run the Script Cleaner and reinstall, or fix registry as below.
After looking at a new user's registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER and comparing it to the one on the original user, I found a registry value which was not changed, and should have been.
I found a key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\op en\command
This key was set to the path for Photoshop CS6 when it should have been set to Photoshop CC.
In other words, in my case, it was set to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
When I changed the CS6 to a CC, in other words, so the whole key reads:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"

CS3 Bridge gone, so how can I preview PSD files

I've lost Bridge, it not longer opens and there fore I've no easy way to preview my PSD files on my hard drive. Can anyone suggest a way to do it without having to open each individual file in PS.
Thanks.
Judy

Thanks for replying Curt - Bridge suddenly wouldn't open - Windows says "there is an error.....". I saw a previous post suggesting resetting the preferences by holding down the Ctrl key but that didn't do anything at all! I'm currently uninstalling CS3 and components and reinstalling - hopefully this will work!
Thanks again.
Judy
