"Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file."
I have recently upgraded to PS CS5, operating on an imac with Mac OSX Lion.
Every now and then I get the message above when trying to open certain Raw (CR2) files in photoshop Raw converter.
If I try to only open the one specific raw file I get the above message, although if I open multiple raw files in one go, they all open fine, although when I scroll down to the image that can't be parsed I either get this mesage "Unable to swith to the current image. There was an error parsing the file" or photoshop freezes totally.
As far as I can see the images aren't corrupted becasue I'm able to view them with Bridge. I have never encounter this problem with my equipment before upgrading.
Does anyone have a solution?
Cheers in advance.

If an image has issues each time you try to open it in Camera RAW, then post a link so others can verify if it is indeed corrupted.
If you need to upload to www.YouSendIt.com or www.DropBox.com and then post the download link.

Photoshop CC: "Could not complete your request because of a program error." Whenever I file open
Just started happening spontaneously.
Only thing in the error log is this:
2014:01:09 18:13:31 : /Volumes/workarea/PS_14_Mac_Daily_Retail/20130923.r.427/photoshop/main/photoshop/xcode/.. /framework/sources/UEvent.cpp : 582 : REQUIRE failed
Can't open files.
Using Macbook Retina OS X Mavericks
Please help
thanksTry using the purge command and see if that helps, its possible there is something corrupted somewhere, failing that you could always try a fresh reinstall. I haven't had any issues with Mavericks on my iMac, so I don't think its specific to that OS update.

Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop
Hello,
I'm a beginner in PS. I was edit TIFF file in PS. Size of file is 21x89.1(22.6 MB). Then suddenly power - cuted. But after 5 min turn on PC and PS can't open my TIFF file.
Error is (could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop)
What should I do, how I open this TIFF file? I realy need to open this file?
Please help me...
Regards, Suvd.SOut of curiosity, were you actually saving the file at the moment the power cut off, or had you just saved it?
If not, I don't understand the reason the file should have become corrupted. If it was successfully saved on disk from the prior save operation, just shutting off the power on Photoshop would lose your current edits, but the file should still be intact.

Tried to "Open As" in PS a NEF file I modified in LR. Got the following error message: "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file." I can "Open" the file in PS, but then the changes I made in LR (and saved in the associated meta data file with the "Control S" command) are not applied to the opened PS file. HELP!
If you are working with a file you modified in Lightroom, you should go to the Lightroom Photo menu and choose Edit in... and the version of Photoshop you want to open it in.
There a dialog will ask if you want to transfer the LR settings you made to your photo when you open in Photoshop.

what do I do with this error? "could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of camera raw?"
It can be that you have an old version of Photoshop Elements and a new camera.
Please tell us
Which operating system you are running on
Which version of Photoshop Elements you are using
Which camera the raw images come from (Make & model)

I rented a Nikon D600 & D610 and CS5 cannot open the RAW files, i do not have any issued with my D700 RAW files. I am getting this error message -
Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.
Can anyone please help?yellowmledbetter wrote:
Sorry, I am on a MAC. I downloaded the link you provided and it's giving the same error message as above. Running CS5.
The error message you gave is from Camera Raw. I thought you said that DNG Converter didn't work?
The link I gave you is an article on getting your raw files to open in Camera Raw. Did you read it? I lazily gave you the link because this is one of the most common problems in this forum, and I get tired of saying the same thing over and over again. I could break it down for your specific case, but I was hoping you could read through the article and work it out for yourself.
But, here goes:
Your cameras are newer than your raw converter, so it won't understand them.
CS5 comes with Camera Raw 6, which can only be upgraded as far as 6.7.1. You can find out which version of Camera Raw you are running in three ways: in the settings title bar (Cmd-K), in the plug-in title bar (press F to start/stop full-screen mode to reveal the title bar), or Photoshop's Help menu (About Plug-ins).
Downloading raw files from newer Nikon cameras with old versions of Nikon Transfer will actually make them unreadable in Adobe software. They can be fixed with a free utility. Again, it's all in the linked article. You should be using up-to-date Nikon Transfer, or Adobe Photodownloader to avoid this problem.
All being well, you have good raw files on your computer. You can convert them to dng using Adobe DNG Converter. IF you are on OSX Leopard or Snow Leopard, you CAN'T use the latest version, because Adobe stopped support. But, if you ARE on a later OSX, you can download DNG Converter 8.6.
DNG Converter is designed to convert FOLDERS of raw files at a time. You select a folder of raw files, and tell it to create DNG copies. BUT, you have to set up the converter before you start using it...
If you load up DNG Converter, you'll notice a button labelled "Change Preferences". Clicking this, you'll see the first option is "Compatibility". Here, you must select the appropriate setting for the version of Camera Raw you HAVE (see above). If you can't work this out, just pick "Camera Raw 5.4 and later". THEN pick a folder of raw files and convert them to DNGs.
All the above is already in the article, but I gave you a personalised response. If you still can't get it to work, please give us more than one sentence. Tell us exactly what you tried, and describe exactly what happened. Which version of OSX you're running, what device and software you downloaded your raw files with, how you used DNG Converter, and so on.
I really should be in bed. -
Could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document. Tried renaming the file extensions and still no luck.
Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details.

the message :could not complete your request because the file is already in use or was left open by another application, comes up when i try to open a specific file in PS cs5. nothing is open and i have restarted my imac already and still no solution
Well, then you do want your layered file back and the nice thing about Macs, Time Machine does keep hourly backups on your Mac. You should be able to enter Time Machine and restore that file.
I had hoped opening your file in another app might relase it so you could open it in PS.

CS5: Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photosh
After several hours creating a PSD file in Photoshop CS5 I attempted to revert some changes and got this error "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop".
I closed the file and restarted Photoshop and still get this error.
I restarted the computer and still get this error. Now my hours of work are WASTED!
This file was created using Photoshop CS5 Extended and was never in any other software.
Details:
Mac Photoshop CS5 (12.0 running in 32 bit mode)
File had a video layer (h.264)
MaxBook Pro 2.8Ghz
OSX 10.6.3I was able to open the file in Photoshop CS2 and all layers were intact. PS CS2 gave me the message: "A layer is corrupt and will be discarded." Turns out that was the video layer. The file itself was fine and I am again working on it in PS CS5.
Which leads me to ask: If a video layer gets corrupted why can't PS CS5 open it?
PS CS2 had no problem opening the file, it just flatteded the video layer - it even kept the current key frame.
Additional info: Just before the file went bad I made a level adjustment to the video layer and set a keyframe in the animation panel. Then I saved and got the error "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photosh' in Photoshop Macintosh". Also the source H.264 video file appears to be fine, it's only a 5 second clip and it play fine in every app - even PS CS5. -
Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photosho
I just tried to open a file that I had saved last night and I got the message:
"Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
Normally I would just chalk it up to a corrupt file and redo the project but I've had this happen to me 5 or 6 times in the past two weeks. I dont know what to do!
Things I've tried that haven't work:
Opening in ImageReady and Gimp, changing file extention to .tiff, dropping into photoshop as smart object, opening in Illustrator, re-installing photoshop, deleting old actions/plug-ins that might glitch up the system.
I just started a new job and I'm working on a 2.5GHz Mac Mini (OSX ver. 10.7.4) with Photoshop CS6 (16-bit).
I am NOT saving over a server or anything like that.
I did NOT close photoshop too quickly last night.
I do NOT have any Nortan Anti-virus anything.
I've spend hours reading up on this and every fix that I've found doesn't work.
I've been using photoshop for YEARS and I've NEVER had this problem before.
Please HELP!There is a problem with the latest update, Mac, and saving a PSD file. Apparently it may not open in CS6, but will open in other versions. They are working on patch.

…photoshop need a recovery or auto save system.
tworules,
You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running. As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine. As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP. -
hi, photoshop crashed and the file I was previously working in, on the same version of Photoshop says "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." I'll appreciate any help. Thank you.

Unable to open any of the HiRISE images within PS CS6. Receive the following error: "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file."

Apparently the JP2 takes up an awful lot of memory uncompressing, and Photoshop gives up.

I also got the same error on the file in Message one, so saving it as a tiff would work.
