Cannot open CS2 Layers in CS5

Hi - I have a psd made using CS2. I can only see a single layer, and I have verified that the file opens correctly in CS2.
How can I open the layers in CS5?

When I download the psd file and open it in CS2 it opens as a single layer 1

Encore CS3 cannot open CS2 project: folder cannot be found

I created a project in Encore CS2 under Win XP, and when I try to open it in CS3 under Vista, I get an error of
Cannot open project; The folder for this project cannot be found.
Disregarding the fact that I haven't changed, moved or deleted any subfolders or files and the drive has the same letter and label as before, why the heck doesn't Encore at least give me the opportunity to direct it to the correct folder? I can do this easily in almost all other applications, like InDesign or Dreamweaver. Shouldn't this error have come up in the first few days of beta testing? (Uh, it
was beta tested.....right?)
I tried looking in the ProjectPrefs and ProjectWorkspace xml files, but they don't have any folder info. Searches in the knowledge base, forums and newsgroups have turned up nothing. It seems my only choice here is to recreate the fracking project from scratch!

>(Uh, it was beta tested.....right?)
No. It wasn't. The Encore team is so good at coding and spell-checking that the Product Manager and the Director of the Production Studio project both felt that beta testing was not necessary this time around.
It's really pretty impressive that so few bugs have turned up in real-world use considering that both internal and external beta testing was shelved for this release. The additional resources that would have been used to test the app were sent to the Photoshop team to ensure that the CS3 release of PS was flawless.

Cannot open indd file in CS5.5? "Please upgrade your plugins to the latest version or upgrade..."

I refer to a similar forum post here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4081971 - which outlines a similar problem with opening a file.
The difference is the file I can no longer open was created using Adobe indd CS5.5 and I am opening it with Adobe indd CS5.5. I have never had this issue previously. The only change is to a new OS on Mac - Version 10.8.2. Error message says "Cannot open "File name" please upgrade your plugins to the latest version or update to the latest version of Adobe" - I know there is CS6 but why should I now need to upgrade suddenly?
Can anyone help here? I can forward a link to the file in question if needs be.
Cheers,
Catie

@Catie – did you verify, if your InDesign file is saved in version CS5.5?
You could do so by using a ExtendScript (Adobe's version of JavaScript) written by Jongware.

If the problem is due to a corruption of plug-in version information, I fear you have no chance other than:
1. Update CS5.5 to the latest bug-fix version => 7.5.3
2. Download a trial version of InDesign CS6, open and export the file to IDML and re-open it in InDesign CS5.5 (though this might not work for a corrupted file)
3. Try to open the file on a different machine
Are there 3rd party plug-ins involved? If so contact their makers…

Cannot open "filename.indd" in CS5.5

Hey helpful people,
I have a large 90pg project in indesign that was passed to me by a previous designer to be finished and edited. The file was last opened this past summer in CS5. I have since upgraded to CS5.5 and am now needing to finish this project. I tryed opening it for the first time the other day and InDesign said "Cannot open "filename.indd". Before I downloaded the lastest update to InDesign I attempted to open the file as a copy and InDesign said it Cannot open "filename.indd". The file "filename.indd" is damaged (Error code: 4). I've since downloaded the update but I still get the same results. The file size is 5.9 MB and I believe there is some place pdfs in it. Please tell me there is something I can do to fix this file!
Thanks,
Joey

It's a valid InDesign CS5 file, technically there is nothing wrong with it.

Cannot open file exported from CS5 as .idml into CC2014.

I'm trying to open a file created in InDesign CS5 in the newest CC version of InDesign.
It is a large (2GB) file comprised entirely of placed images.
I found a thread that suggested exporting as idml.
I did export from CS5 as idml which made the file size a mere 195 MB.
When I tried to open it in CC2014 I got the error message:
Cannot open the file "name.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in
that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
I had quit from CS5 before attempting to open the file in CC2014.
I had thought that exporting as .idml would change the file type suffix from
.indd to .idml but I'm not in the weeds enough to be sure about that.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Roger

I had thought it might be.
I preserved my original (created in CS5) and saved a copy
to try it in CC 2014. The copy wouldn't open in CC.
I deleted this copy and tried again with a new copy
Tried to open in CC - no go.
Opened the new copy in CS5 - no problem.
If the file were corrupt, would it still open in CS5, or is this
a forward compatibility issue?

Can I open CS2 documents in CS5, or even CS6?

Hello!
At long last I hope to upgrade from CS2. What is the most recent version of the Creative Suite I can upgrade to that will open CS2 documents? I'm assuming compatibility with the Creative Cloud is out of the question!
Any guidance greatly appreciated.

You were told wrong and perhaps the agent misread your question and
thought you wanted to open CC files in CS2. That's not much of an excuse
and I'm sorry you got bad information.
I think you'll love Creative Cloud. Be sure to explore the tools you've
never used before.
I have a couple of Creative Cloud articles on my blog you might want to

Good luck.

Cannot open a layered pdf file (64mb only) inside PS CS5 "not enough memory"

Hi!
I cannot seem to open a pdf file inside PS CS5, I also created the file some 3 months ago, saving all the phostoshop layers in it. But now I can't open it inside the photoshop to retrieve the layers as I will be doing some changes. Unfortunately, the original psd file is gone for good. When I try to open it, it alsways says "not enough memory", i try to increase the ram to 4g, play with scratch disk setting but still no success. Any ideas? I can send the pdf file over and see if it open up in your machine. Please take note that the pdf file displays perfectly on a reader.
Please help. thanks

CC show error /cannot open pdf created by cs5

Dears,
I just bought a new CC to replace cs5. However, when I try to open the pdf file created by CS5. CC stopped and said it is error. Any people can help? Million thanks!
Joy

Joy,
Why open the PDF? The AI is better.
What happens if you create a new document in CC, then tick Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers palette, then File>Place the CS5 document (and untick Paste Remembers layers afterwards)?
I presume you are (still) saving to/opening from your own harddisk, and copying to/from external whatever. If not, what if you do?

Cannot Open Files in PS CS5

Hi folks..I am unable to open files/create new files in Photoshop CS5....the P logo in the top left is greyed out (don't know if this is significant)..
Can anyone help here?
Thanks!
Debbie

The Ps logo is gray by design in Photoshop CS5.
However, being unable to create or open files is out of the ordinary.
Do you have a display with 1024 x 768 pixels or larger? It's a known issue that the Save dialog won't come up on displays that are smaller than that.
If that's not the issue, there have been several other users who have reported issues opening or creating files in recent days...

Unfortunately I don't think anyone's been able to get to the bottom of what the various folks who are experiencing these failures have in common, or even come up with a workaround short of rebooting Windows. You folks all need to list what hardware and software you have to try to find out what you have in common.

.indd files all greyed out, cannot open from within Indesign CS5

Dear all,
On a iMac g5 i7 with Indesign CS5 (7.0.4).
Since yesterday all .indd files are greyed out when trying to open them from Indesign (command-o).
From Finder they open fine still...
Can't find anything on the web.
Clues?
Thanks,
Dirkjan

Indeed, you clearly need to find the source of the problem.
In my limited experience, this kind of thing happens when some program misbehaves and causes the LS Database to get corrupt. This usually happens as a one-time event, so rebuilding is an easy solution.
In your case, obviously the problem is chronic, so you will need to get to the bottom of it.
There is no reason to assume that InDesign is at fault. I'm afraid I don't have any tips for you. Contact an Apple support path, I guess.

I cannot open my file in CS5.5

I tried to open a file i have saved in my indesign cs5.5, though it comes up with a list of missing plug-ins.
I then went to file - open - and selected the file. Whilst doing this i noticed it said created in CS5.5, but it still would not open.
Hopefully someone has an idea of what may have happened, as i do not!
Thank you.

@SLetten – is there a slight chance, that someone has opened and saved that file in a newer version of InDesign?
You could test the exact version by an ExtendScript (JavaScript) script.

Have you updated Photoshop to version 12.0.4 and the Camera Raw plug-in to version 6.6?
Have you set your Camera Raw and Bridge preferences to use Camera Raw for JPEGs?

Cannot open file in Indesign CS5

This is the error message I get:
Please help

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

Cannot Open Camera Raw images in CS2

Hi
I am running CS2 and PSE 8,but cannot open Raw images in CS2
My camera is an Eos 5 MKII
Camera Raw in PSE is 5.5.
I would like to open the Raw files into CS2.
Any Help would be appreciated.
I am using the latest firmware from Canon.
Thankyou
Keith

Raw files are unique to each camera model and manufacturer. There is a 'model' field and 'manufacturer' field whose values are checked as any RAW format file is opened and if the program opening that file does not have the codes for processing that specific camera's RAW file, most programs will throw a error message and not precess that file.
For Adobe image editing programs you need to have the an ACR plugin version that provides the code for your camera model.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras list the various cameras supported by Adobe photo editing programs and the version of the earlies ACR plug-in that supports that camera.
For the Canon Eos 5D MKII you will need ACR plug-in version 5.2 or better.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications list the program versions of Adobe image editing programs, the ACR plug-in version shipped with the program and the latest ACR plug-in version that that program can use.
The last ACR plug-in version for CS2 is 3.7, so you can not directly open the CR2 or RAW image from this camera. You could upgrade to PhotoShop CS5, the most current version of PhotoShop, or download a copy the free Adobe DNG, Digital NeGative, converter and convert your CR2 files to the Adobe DNG format and then open the DNG file with your copy PhotoShop CS2. You could also open the file with Canon image editing software and transfer the image as Tiff to your copy of CS2.
This is an Adobe Acrobat U2U forum, You might find additional help in the PhotoShop forums or an Canon U2U forum.
