CS6 3D error (bug?) "Could not complete your request because the path is too complex."

I'm running into a bit of a problem with having a shape extruded in 3D.
If I draw a rectangle shape set to path over an image and then choose "source - work path" and "3D extrusion" I will get a 3D rectangle with the image on the front side.
If I draw a 3 sided polygon (triangle) set to path over an image and then choose "source - work path" and "3D extrusion" I will get a error telling me that the path is too complex.
I'm doing the exact same thing.
Now, if I have 4 sides plus, on the polygon it will extrude just fine.
Something seems to be happening with 3 sided polygons.
This holds true with the pen tool as well. Three points will give you the error, 4 and above seem not to.
Any ideas and to why this is happening?
Thanks!

Work around. (CS6)
(1) Draw your trangle shape.
(2) Convert one of the corners to a smooth corner (just barely). If you doesn't work, bend flex it a little more, and try again.
(3) 3D/New 3D extrusion from selected layer.
(4) Switch camera to top view.
(5) With 3D layer selected, in the coordinates menu of Properties panel, set X angle to 90.
(6) Snap object to ground plane.
(7) Set depth to 0.
(8) In the Cap menu of the Properties panel, adjust cap width to 100%.

    I'm trying to render 24 characters of text with line breaks in 3D, because, as we know, 3D can be very spiffy... but I get:
    "Could not complete your request because the path is too complex"
    Interesting, I'm on a rocketship workstation with a fairly stealthy config. All is updated to the latest ver., 13.1.2.. Not the greatest card in the world (Quadro 2000), but it seems more than ample for this task..
    It works fine with 9 characters on one line... Ok, possibly (or rather likely) I have too much text (24 characters? Line breaks? Trebuchet?), but frankly, I'd be surpised... What are the limitations here? Tips?
    Thank you!

    In this case, I have photoshop doing all the number crunching through GPU:
    Also, my performace settings (this is 32-bit PS, so it only sees 4GB):
    We'll see what any Adobe folks say, thank you very much for your time and insights!

  • Error Message - "could not complete your request because the preset contains invalid data"

    I am trying to open a file, and every time I do it comes up with the following error message:
    "Could not complete your request because the preset contains invalid data"
    I am using Photoshop CS4 on a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
    I have tried:
    - restarting my mac
    - opening different files created at different times
    - deleting photoshop from my app folder and the app support folder from my /username/library/application support/adobe/ folder and copied them back from a Time Machine backup from a few days ago.
    I was using Photoshop all day today with absolutely no problems. I have searched Google and this forum and have come up short. No one has this exact error anywhere.
    Any help? Thanks so much in advance!

    The one thing you didn't do is reset your Photoshop preferences.
    Most likely the preferences got corrupted, and reference a corrupt preset.

    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?"

    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)

  • Error message: Could not complete your request because the file was not found.

    Tonight tried to open images in Photoshop CC 2014. Could not open any. Received the message "Could not complete your request because the file was not found."
    I installed latest updates yesterday. Today not working. Can anyone assist?

    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.

  • I'm trying to load video file into CS6 I keep getting error message: 'Could not complete you request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.' No Idea what to do next. Help please.

    I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
    Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
    'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
    Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

    Hi Mylenium,
    upfront:
    I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
    However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
    Now the real deal:
    I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
    The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
    I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
    I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

  • 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.S

    Out 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.

  • CS5 RAW 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.

    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.

    Can anyone please help?

    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.

    The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).

    Photoshop CS6 version 13.0 v64
    On Mac OS 10.8.5
    Error Message: Could not complete your request because of a program error.
    Help! My CS6 photoshop was working before I upgraded my operating system to OS 10.8.5. I uninstalled photoshop and reinstalled it. Still doesn't work. I can't do anything in Photoshop, it comes up with that error everytime I try to open a file.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the information. I tried it and the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." comes up when I open the program or try to do anything in the program. So when I went to edit preferences it pops the same message up. It won't let me do anything in photoshop. I am up to date on the operating system but that didn't fix it either. Any other ideas would be appreciated. I cant use photoshop on my main computer at all!
    Thank you!

  • HiRISE JP2 Images fail to open in CS6 (64bit) - Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file.

    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."
    The files are NOT corrupt as I can open them in IrfanView and ACDSee, just not Photoshop CS6.

    I downloaded a small HiRise JP2 and used Preview to export as Tiff.  It opens up just fine.
    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.
