CS3 Photoshop will not load images

I have just recently run into a problem with my CS3 Photoshop. When I try to go through File> Open and choose a .jpg .gif and even .psd file I get an error message saying: ' could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.'
When I open in Illustrator there is no issue. Or when I go directly to the file and use Open with, then direct it to Photoshop it opens fine.  However, if I need to open another image file I get the error message again. What can I do with this?

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • SAFARI WILL NOT LOAD IMAGES

    On my laptop safari works fine but on my G5 safari now will not load images or has a ? where images should be any help out there please

    Hello Fraser:
    We may not have the problem isolated. Are you connecting the computer that "works" in the same way that the one that "works" is connected?
    There is nothing inherent in either Safari or OS X that I am aware of that would cause the problem you describe.
    A general "fix" for some Safari performance problems (after clearing the cache) is to trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart (enter your personal Safari preferences). You might also trash the "favicon" file as that can slow Safari if it gets too large (~library>safari>icons).
    I would also turn off all items in the Safari preferences under "autofill" and turn on all the web content boxes under "security."

  • My photoshop will not load, error message 148.3

    my photoshop will not load, error message is 148.3

    This is a licensing error. The usual fix is to reinstall the program after running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. also read this:
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
    If you can't fix it, you will have to provide more info like system specs and what version of PS you actually use...

  • Photoshop will not resize images

    As of today, PSE will not resize images for me.  I typically use PSE for this function and am familiar with it.
    I thought it might have been the windows update that occurred last night, so I restored my system earlier, but it does not help.  I still can't resize images.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Operating system?
    PSE version?
    What are the exact steps you're doing?
    What are the details of what's happening when you try?

  • Adobe photoshop will not load on computer???

    i just got a new imac with tigar and the leopard update.
    i updated to leopard as soon as i started the computer.
    then i went to the adobe website and downloaded the trial version of photoshop cs3.
    i installed it fine, but when i try to open PS, and error mesage tells me that the licence has ended and to reinstall. so i did, 4 times.
    still nothing. what is the problem?
    Thanks

    i did not load anything on 10.4, when i goto the new imac, i just loaded 10.4 and then immediatly updated to 10.5. i have CS3 on my pc, so i just want to test CS3 on the new mac, to see which runs better. if i like it then i will buy the mac version. so far, my pc will surf the net about 3-4 times faster than the mac. i did not get the mac for net use, only for sound video and photo editing. but i do surf google for images.
    right now i am trying to erase and reinstall OX S back to 10.4, then i will try to install CS3 again, then if it works, ill update to 10.5 and see if that works.

  • Iphoto will not load images

    Good Day,
    Im trying to fix and issue that I have with Iphoto.
    What is happening Iphoto loads and shows the thumbnails fine for all the images that are in the Iphoto Library and the albums but when I go to load an image all it does is sits there an has the spinning broken wheel and then it does nothing.
    I have tried some of the suggestions that ive seen in the disscusions but nothing seem to work.
    It is running the latest version of Iphoto and all updates are done.
    This is the Iphoto that came with Tiger that came with the Ibook
    thanks

    Hmmm,
    How do you feel about importing the images from the library on the desktop to the new library?
    Open iPhoto with the new library. To import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!

  • PhotoShop CS2 not loading image

    I've been working with CS2 for the past two years with no problem but as of last week, when I open my CS2 and try to open an image, the image does not display in my work area but it displays in my layers menu, nav menu, etc... Is there a setting that was accidentaly changed or did something else happen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck.
    Any advice or suggestions?
    thanks

    The image is probably off the screen.

  • CS3 Photoshop Will Not Import .CR2 Files

    I have tried countless updates and cannot seem to get Photoshop to import RAW files (.CR2) into the system. I receive the error message, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type"
    I am trying to import using the Merge HDR function on CS3 Photoshop, but it does not even do anything  when I click OK on the three RAW pictures i have selected.
    Help please. I am using a Canon Rebel T1i
    Thanks
    lhfarrow

    Photoshop CS3 doesn't have support for that camera. You'll either need to upgrade to CS5 or use the free DNG Converter to convert the raw files to DNG files that can be opened with CS3.

  • Messages will not load images since ML upgrade

    Under Lion, the Messages beta was working well for me, but since I upgraded to Mountain Lion there is a major problem. If someone sends me an iMessage with an image, the image (and its associated text, if any) will hang indefinitely, never loading on my Mac. (Text-only messages work fine.) The image and text appear normally on my iPhone and iPad, but on the Mac there's nothing. The File Transfers window shows the image trying to come through, but the progress bar just hangs in the full-length moving stripes animation, never showing any progress, no matter how long I leave it. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have an idea of how to fix it?

    Hi,
    I've been with the same problem for a couple of days, until finally today Messages simply stopped showing even a the window, so absolute inability to use it.
    Considering that reinstalling the operating system is NOT a solution, I searched for something myself.
    Pictures are controlled by xpcd, imagent and Messages, and it seems that when the problem arises is because they're using the wrong Apple server.
    While this may be solved by Apple in a update (I hope so), in the meantime you can do a workaround (it worked for me on two different machines, and even days old images appeared).
    In your Library, there is a folder called Preferences (that is /Users/<your_username>/Library/Preferences). There you should delete com.apple.imagent.plist com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist and com.apple.imessage.bag.plist, with Messages CLOSED. Then reboot so Messages creates new ones. Also delete all file starting with com.apple.imagent, com.apple.imservice, com.apple.imessage and com.apple.iChat that end in .lock.
    If even then it still is not working, deleting all files starting with com.apple.imagent, com.apple.imservice, com.apple.imessage and com.apple.iChat 100% for sure. But when you reboot you'll find you need to input again your login data for iMessage, FaceTime, Yahoo chat, AIM chat, Google Talk and Jabber (if you used them on Messages/iChat).
    This is an annoyance, but less than a whole operating system reinstall or losing the functionality.
    After all of this is done you should regain the ability to receive photos, send photos and drag&drop photos.

  • Office 2004 and other Photoshop will not Load

    Part #1 - I have Office 2004/Student Teacher Edition. It has 3 liscences. I am installing this program on my new 17inch iMac. However, when I click on Setup Assistant, you can see it load up in the dock and then it never opens. Then I try drag the files to my application and it does drag them, but then when you click on a program such as "Word", it starts to load up (shows up in the dock) then shuts down with no error message. Any clue?
    Part #2 - I just also installed Photoshop CS2 and it installed fine...however when I go to open it in my applications folder it does the same thing that Word does...starts to load up shows up in the dock then Shuts Down with any error message.
    Does anyone have a clue what the heck this is?
    Thanks,

    Hi Queso!
    "1. I recently repaired disk permissions, which took an abnormally lengthy amount of time -- but the computer rebooted without any problems"
    There is usually no need to restart the Mac after running Repair Permissions.
    Unless you ran it while started up from the install disc.
    Or are you referring to running Repair Disk?
    Regardless, run Repair Disk & Repair Permissions now, instructions below, and post the results.
    THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
    1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
    2.Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu, on the Menubar at the top of the screen.
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
    3.Click the First Aid tab.
    4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
    6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
    7.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    8.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
    9.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
    10.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
    Rerun RP until the only messages reported, are listed here Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.3.x, authored by Michael Conniff
    When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".
    Good Luck!

  • Once a security exception is confirmed, website will not load images.

    I try to go to www.target.com and have problems loading some of their website for example. I have confirmed a security exception for https://www-secure.target.com/ (I suspect this is the reason I needed to confirm a security exception.) Firefox then allows me to load the website now that the exception is confirmed. However, once the page loads, no images and only basic text with links is visible. I have tried re-installing firefox. Removing cookies. Clearing history. I still receive the same error.
    Please help!

    It shouldn't be necessary to add an exception for www-secure.target.com
    The New Guest link on the http://www.target.com works fine for me.
    In can you use the secure https://www.target.com then try the http: version as this server doesn't seem to have the correct certificate installed.
    You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and check on the Network tab if any content is blocked and has a file size 0 (zero).
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Note that you should be cautious when you get an 'untrusted' error message and that you should never create a permanent exception in cases like this without investigating the cause.
    Best would be to remove this exception and tell us what is wrong with the certificate.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Certificates/Encryption: View Certificates
    Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section.<br>If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
    If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
    *Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
    *Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

  • There are several sites which Firefox will not load images. The rest of the site loads correctly, but the images simply do not appear.

    (There is no error message, loading message etc, just white space). These images load correctly in Safari . The sites include target.com, gap.com & garnethill.com and are the item photos for specific items listed on the site. I've tried many of the troubleshooting tips. help!

    Probably third party images, such as those of the manufacturer

  • Photoshop will not open images

    I fired up Photoshop CC 2014 just now to merge some images. After the dialogue pops up, nothing happens when I press OK. Also tried to open some images and nothing happens either. Any ideas?
    Last time I used it was a few weeks ago and there wasn't any problems. Nothing has been done to computer aside from the usual security updates to Windows. Tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail either.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Okay. Just to verify the reset worked, did you see this:

  • Problem with Photoshop CS not loading image.

    Hi, I recently had a hard drive problem and had it replaced. I backed up all my files on an external drive.
    I moved over all my files and applications. Photoshop runs and opens with no problem.
    The problem I'm having is if I double click on a .psd file it launches Photoshop but it do not open the file.
    The program never did that before. Is there something that I did not copy over correctly?
    Only way I can open a file is File>Open>
    And I find that to be aggrivating.
    I'm hoping I do not have to re-install Photoshop because I have my original software in storage.
    Hoping for a quick fix.
    Thanks

    Be extremely careful  messing with your system settings. 
    In the Finder try  using Command I on any representative file. Then change "open with" to Photoshop, and then use the 'change all' button. If this does still not automatically open the file in Photoshop on double click, then make sure you have run  this application http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html on your disk.
