Difficulty opening some files in PSCS4 from Bridge.

Of late I've been having difficulty with trying to open some of my PSD and TIFF files from within Bridge. I have the same problem from the Open Recent sub menu under File. I get a notification that pops up saying it can't open the file "...due to program error." This is a fairly recent problem I'm having. Any ideas as to what is causing this?
Thanks...Chuck S.

Which OS?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Opening a file in PS from Bridge

It seems like the default behavior when you "Place" a file (e.g. a TIFF) in PS from the Bridge application, it opens as a "Smart Object". Is there some way to just open it from Bridge without making it a Smart Object?

Just double click the file and don't place anything.

Opening Raw files in Elements from Bridge

When I right click on a raw file in Bridge there is no selection in the context menu under 'Open With' for Elements. I'm using PSE 8 on a MacBook Pro and these are raw files from a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 camera. Has anyone encountered this?
Thanks

Yes, the thumbnail is there and I have the latest versions. If I double click on it my picture opens in Photomatix Pro, not Essentials. Like I said if I right click on it and select "Open With..." Essentials should be listed and it's not. JPG's open with Essentials. In fact if I right click on the jpg and select "Open With..." it shows Essentials as the default and a list of other programs.

I have Adobe reader installed. However, I am unable to open some files because it is asking for Adobe's approval to open the files. How do I do this please?

That message is NOT from Adobe, and has nothing to do with Adobe's approval for anything.
Quite the opposite: Adobe Reader is NOT YET RUNNING, Adobe aren't involved. Some other app or program is putting out that message. Have you tried giving that permission?

Cannot Open Excel File after exporting from Disco Plus

Hi there,
I got a question from one user having issue with opening Excel file after exporting from Disco Plus.
The report has been using for a while and he is using Excel 2003 version and Discoverer 10g(10.1.2.2), he never got this kind of error before, just recently got error.
After exporting from Disco Plus he saved file on his desktop and when he tries to open the excel it says "Cannot be Accessed, can be corrupted...." but this is not from network drive since he saved file on local desktop or C drive.
Also not for all reports, only this particular report and only specific parameter, for example for parameter 2008 Feb opened successfully, but for2009 Feb he gets this error when trying to open excel.
i tried in excel 2007 also , i dont think this is Excel version error, am not sure.
Also after go live last week (we upgraded database from 9i to 10g) but i am not sure this causes ,since for one parameter working, for other parameter not working.
Actually we should get one window for Macro when we try to open excel, but he is not getting it seems.
Any ideas/thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help

Rod,
Thanks for your quick response on this.
Yes, we can export to other formats as well, but actually exporting is working, after saving the file on our local desktop/drive and when we try to open we get this kind messages or we cannot open the file, we should get message window for Macro to enable/disable but for this report we are not getting this either,
Also this happens only for specific parameters,like i mentioned above it works I mean excel file opens for one set of parameters but for some other set of parameters cannot open.
For example :- when we enter FEB 2008 it works, if we enter FEB 2009 it won't open the file.
This is weird
I am still working on this issue, may be better to recreate the report again might be helpful,
Any ideas/comments/thoughts would be great
Thanks

Mac won't open some files MasterPlan.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

I had this problem of not being able to open some files a couple of years ago and eventually was able to fix it but i can't remember how. Any help would be grateful.

The following document should help: Error: Adobe Reader could not open '*.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was not correctly decoded.)
Please update this thread if your issue is resolved.
Thanks,

FileNotFoundException thrown when opening a file for writing from EJB

Hi,
I know it is against EJB rules that access file IO from EJB. However we have a legacy system to working with and we need to generate a text file on file system.
Weblogic (we are using 10.3) allows open a file for read from EJB. When we tried to open a writer like below:
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter( new FileWriter(fileName, false));
FileNotFoundException was thrown from the native method of open. The fileName is an absolute path and permission is properly set. The same piece of code can execute correctly in a test application with same filename.
Does anyone know how to achieve this or whether Weblogic just forbids this kind of output access?

Sorry guys. Just double-checked the source code and found out a bug produced wrong filename, the filename was surrounded by "", so FileNotFoundException is a correct result.
Weblogic does allow read/write external file.

Unable to open CR2 files in PSE8 or Bridge CS4?

Unable to open CR2 files in PSE8 or Bridge CS4? Any help would be appreciated.

You would need PSE 11 to open those files directly into PSE. Your options are:
1. Use DPP instead.
2. Download the free DNG converter and use that to convert your raw files to dng files that your version of the raw converter can open:

3. Upgrade to PSE 11, although that won't help Bridge any.

PE9 for Macwon't open blank files or "copy from clipboard." I get error messages that say, "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe color engine," when I try to create a new blank file, and "Could not place because of a program error" when trying to "copy from clipboard."

To reset your preferences at the time of launching PSE press command+option+shift key combination untill following pop up comes.

Missing photos when opening multiple files into Photoshop from LR3.2

When I try to open multiple files (8+ maybe) from Lightroom 3.2 to edit in Photoshop CS5, almost always one or two photos does not open. This means I have to manually find out which photos are missing, and then reopen them.
Can anyone help me with this problem??

I have opened as many as 50 from external hard drive with LR 3.2 and Windows XP with no problem.
It takes a long time to bring in this many if they are 100MB tiffs. I had to go have coffee and come back later.
Are you sure you waited until it was finished?

Help! I can't open my files in ImageReady from Adobe Bridge

I have Photoshop CS2. I recently wiped my hard drive and reinstalled the original factory software, and then reinstalled Photoshop CS2, and it has been a little glitchy ever since then. For example, I arrange my files in Adobe Bridge, and then when I go back to them later they are not in the order I put them in. The program is putting the .BridgeSort file in the folder, so that is not the problem. When I restart the computer, if the last folder I had open in Bridge was sorted, it will still be sorted when I reopen Bridge, but if I open another folder that I already sorted it reverts back to the way it was before I sorted it.
Also, I can't open any files in Adobe ImageReady from Adobe Bridge. Before I wiped my computer, when I wanted to create a slideshow in ImageReady, I just selcted the files I wanted to open and then right-clicked and chose "open in / Image Ready", but now that doesn't even come up as an option. I have already tried uninstalling photoshop and reinstalling it but that didn't fix the problem.

Try something like this:
1. Use window explorer to find a jpeg on your computer
2 Right click on that jpeg file and go to Open With>Choose Program
3. If the box that says:Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
    is checked, uncheck it and then press the Browse button.
4. Navigate to the location of the cs2 ImageReady program and double click on it, then
    press ok in the dialog and the jpeg should open in ImageReady.
5. Close ImageReady and right click on the jpeg and hopefully ImageReady will be
    listed as a choice.
Hopefully cs2 bridge will also show ImageReady as a choice for jpegs.

Changed from PC to mac and can't open some file

Mac store transferred my files from PC to mac when purchased iMac. frequently some of those files will not open and I receive this reason:
Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). This also sometimes happens when I try to open a jpg. and those sometimes are files I have added myself from photos I added.
Is there any way I can recover these? Or should I just forget it and trash them?

Note, you don't need Adobe Reader to view PDFs in OS X. There is a built-in application called "Preview" which does an excellent job with PDFs. It is faster and it is more lightweight.
When you install Reader, it takes over PDF rendering in your web browsers and it sets itself to the default PDF reader.
This is a bit of a tangent, but I recommend you first try opening the PDFs with Preview, and see if you can open the files. If so, then it's probably a Reader issue. If not, the files are probably corrupt. You may wish to see if you can try transferring them again, if you still have access to them.
As far as JPEGs, Preview can also view them, so give it a try.
If Preview works, then definitely consider uninstalling Adobe Reader. It's a heavyweight, bloated, slow piece of crap.
