Cannot open psd file

Yesterday I was working in photoshop cs6 on a Psd file. It was 140 mb and when I tried to save it at 93 % it crashed. When I'm now trying to open it says "There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?" I click Read composite data but then it says "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." And after pressing ok it doesn't do anything?

The file is corrupt on disk because of the crash.
Odds are that you won't be able to recover that file, but should go to your backups or the auto-saved version.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite now I cannot open PSD files on illustrator. Please help

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite on my Mac and now when I open Illustrator I cannot open psd files. The error message I get when I open illustrator is "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip"
    Is there a fix for this? I cannot afford to upgrade my CS4 at this time.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Larry - the issue is that I need to keep all of the layers (there are a lot of them) and when I save as pdf it flattens the image. Is there no way to be able to open PSD files now that I upgraded to Yosemite?
    Thanks again.

  • Cannot open psd file in Illustrator

    One of my users is getting one of two errors when she tries to open a psd in Illustratror CS5.  One error say "Cannot open the illustration",  the other error says "The file filename.psd is in an uknown format and cannot be opened."  Furthermore, she is unable to use the "Place"  function in Illustrator.  This appears to be profile specific.  When I log on to her machine as myself.  I am able to open all *.psd files.  She claims that everything was working fine a week ago.  No changes have  been made to the system.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    I would say it is a permissions problem.
    Obviously Illustrator cannot access the file so it does not know what you want it to do.
    Try repairing the permissions, make certain she has not locked the files on her account
    and try this as well but only in her account.
    Mac
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
    PC
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/
    (user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings folder.
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
    But her permissions have to be repaired if it can't be done by the utility then manually

  • Photoshop CC 2014 Cannot open .psd file because it's not a "photoshop document"

    Right, straight to the case,
    I was working on a very important file at work. I kept saving it at .psd (photoshop), then I also saved it as .esp and .pdf, just to be able to open then in AI.
    Anyhow, after some saving, I had the .psd file ready and done so I closed it. Wen't to open it later to find out the it's not a photoshop document.
    I've tried to repair it but even the repair apps can't read it. I'm 100% sure i saved it as .psd
    Does anyone have a clue here of what could of have happen to it?
    This is how it looks like on "finder"
    The file is nearly 300MB large.. so there must be something in it? any help would be MUCH appreciated

    My first thought is retrieving a backup copy via Time Machine if you set that up.
    Krita is a free app that I have seen open Photoshop files that even Photoshop could not open. There you may find the problem layer or flatten it.

  • Photoshop cs4 - Can't open .psd files in Bridge

    I cannot open .psd files in Bridge, only .jpg and .tif, as far as I know.  The .psd files are flattened--no layers.  What's wrong?

    Generated in PS cs4...always starting with a .jpg, working on it, then saving as .psd.
    I open Bridge, navigate to the file I want to work on.  The round icon that is for opening files in Camera Raw is grayed out.  It IS available for .jpg and .tif files.  If I go to the File menu in the upper left, there is no option to open the .psd file in Bridge.  If I just click Open, the file will open in the default program I use for quickly viewing all photos (Irfanview).
    Thinking also about the reply from 2.rob...
    I hope I don't need to designate .psd files to always open in Photoshop in order to get this to work.  I have all photo types set to Open for quick viewing in Irfanview, which I like very much. Often I want to look at a .psd file w/o opening Photoshop, which takes a while to load.

  • Can't open psd files from Bridge CS6

    Had both CS4 and CS6 installed, CS4 Bridge added itself when I wanted just CS6 Bridge, so uninstalled CS4.  Now cannot open psd files from SC6 Bridge.  What do I do?.

    What is Bridge doing when you try to open the PSD file?  Do you get a warning, does nothing happen?  Did you open the preferences in CS6 bridge and set the file opening preferences to make sure they are set to PS CS6?

  • CS 6 opening PSD Files

    I have Windows 8 64bit and CS6. I cannot open PSD files in camera raw from Bridge or Explorer.
    Any suggestions please

    ACR opens raw, JPEG or TIFF files if set this way under the assumption that those files come from a camera. It doesn't open PSD files since this is a processing format.

  • I cannot open a file from LR5 into CC2014 unless it is a smart object. also will not save back to LR at all it gives me an error message "Line: 1 -   photoshop.notifyLightroomDocClosed ('lightroom-2.0', 'B53AFA39-A49B-4709-A9BD-0B6467C175C3', 'Macintosh H

    I cannot open a file from lightroom into CC2014 unless I open it as a smart object. CC opens, just will not display my image. i am given an error code when I save an image, and can only save to my desktop or other locations, not automatically back into my lightroom.
    I am using LR5 latest update, as well as CC2014
    Below is the error message:
    Line: 1 ->  photoshop.notifyLightroomDocClosed ('lightroom-2.0', 'B53AFA39-A49B-4709-A9BD-0B6467C175C3', 'Macintosh HD:Users:BPexposures:Desktop:_DSC5962 as Smart Object-1.psd');

    I was also having this issue, and I did some more searching and found this answer in the Adobe forums: Re: Photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop CC (2014) and back.... The issue appears to be caused by having not updated Lightroom to the latest version prior to having CC2014 installed (wow that's stupid). The trick seems to be to uninstall Photoshop CC2014 and to then reinstall it after having upgraded to Lightroom 5.5.

  • Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect

    I'm trying to iterate through a folder of images, open each one of them, duplicate them into another photoshop file and close the individual image. This code works great on a PC (Photoshop CS3), but when I run it on our macs (Photoshop CS3) I will receive the following error on random images. "Error: Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect" Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I've read about possibly setting the OpenDocumentType but have not seen an example anywhere. This error will sometimes occur after loading in one image or sometimes after 20 images. Sometimes I run it on the same directory multiple times all with various points of error. Sometimes every images is loaded. Any help would be much appreciated. Sample code is below.
    i //CODE BELOW
    i //allows the user to select an folder full of images
    b var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder that contains the files you want added as layers.");
    b var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
    b var tempRef = app.open(tempName);
    b for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++)
    b {
    b var tempName = fileList[i];
    b var tempStringName = fileList[i].toString();
    i //used to check if the file in the directory does in fact contain the .png extension
    b var reducedFileName = tempStringName.substring(tempStringName.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
    b if(reducedFileName.substring((reducedFileName.length - 4),(reducedFileName.length)) != ".png" || reducedFileName.substring((reducedFileName.length - 4),(reducedFileName.length)) != ".PNG")
    b {
    i //setting reference to opened docuement PNG file
    i //This seems to be the section throwing the error. Surrounding with Try Catch revealse the Error noted above
    b var tempRef = app.open(tempName);
    i //setting a tempName variable to the PNG file name
    b var tempName = app.activeDocument.name;
    i //setting reference to the active layer in the file
    b var graphicLayer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;
    i //setting the PNG layer name to the PNG file
    b tempRef.layers[0].name = tempName;
    i //duplicating the image onto the opened Photoshop file
    b tempRef.layers[0].duplicate(backRef);
    i //closing the original PNG file without saving
    b tempRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    b }
    b }

    It looks as if the folder contains non Photoshop files, one way around the problem would be to change
    var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
    To specify the file types you want to process IE:
    var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|crw|cr2|nef|dcr|dc2|raw)$/i);

  • Opening PSD file in ACR

    I saw some where that you can open a PSD in ACR by File>Open As.  I have CS5 and there is no such option as "Open As" in my File.
    I also think I saw where you can change the default  for opening from PS to ACR.  Is anyone familiar with this and how do you change the default?

    No, you need to use the File > Open menu command.  In the Open dialog box, you need to go the Format item and select Camera Raw from the dropdown submenu:
    DO NOT select Photoshop Raw under any circumstances,
    dglas_1 wrote:
    …I also think I saw where you can change the default  for opening from PS to ACR…
    No; that is incorrect.  You cannot select Camera Raw as default to open PSD files.  You have to go through the File menu > Open every single time you want to open a PSD in Camera Raw.
    For next time, the Adobe Camera Raw forum is here:

  • I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

    I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 and cannot open Raw files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera.

    I am using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows 7 based PC and would like to know why I cannot open Raw files produced by my Canon EOS 1000D camera.
    I have checked the version of the plug in as 6.5 for raw files which is supposed to open .cr2 files and should be compatible according to Adobe site info.
    any ideas for next move.
    Mick

    Hi,
    According to all of Adobe's charts, the Canon 1000D should be supported by the basic PSE 9 even without updates. When you said you checked the camera raw version in PSE, did you do that by going to the Help menu and selecting About plugins -> Camera raw?
    The Canon 1200D requires ACR 8.4 which is only compatible with PSE 12 - so for PSE 10 your brother would need the DNG converter.
    I can't find a sample raw file to try (I do have PSE 9). If you want to upload a sample file to dropbox and give me access, I could try it on my system.
    Have you tried opening one of your files on your brothers system?
