Elements 10 won't open my saved .psd files

I am using a digital clipping mask (template original is a gimp format), and when I save it under a new name in .psd format, Elements says it cannot open it because it is the wrong type. 
It will still open the files just fine using File>Open Recently Edited File, but that only works if the file I want to access is in the Recently Edited list.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

Which operating system are you using?
Other than upgrading to photoshop elements 12, you could use the adobe dng converter 8.6 to convert the files to dng copies, which pse 10 should then open.

  • Elements 10 won't open a nef(raw) file?

    I downloaded photoshop elements 10.Uptated it.It still won't open a nef(raw) file.It just said it is the wrong type of file?What do I have to download to open and edit this type of file?

    You will need to wait for the next camera raw update. You have two alternatives:
    (1) Use Nikon software to convert. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups and for use in Nikon software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.1
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.1
    You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Photoshop Elements 6 won't open RAW with XMP file.

    Hi,
    I searched for an answer but, could not find an answer.
    I edited a RAW file with Photoshop Elements 6 (mac). I saved the file and closed the program. Next day I fire up PSE6 and open the same RAW file; the file is unedited. How can I open the RAW file with the edits I made the day before? I see the xmp file in finder.
    I'm still on the trial version. Camera is a Canon 50D. I can open and edit the RAW with out problem. When I start PSE6 Adobe update fails and gives me the options: Ignore,Relaunch,Send report to Apple.
    After that PSE opens for me
    Help me Obi Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.
    Thanks.

    Are you hitting the save button? That is creating a DNG file someplace. If you just want to save your edits, that should happen automatically when you click Open or Done. If it doesn't, try going to your username>preferences folder and deleting the Adobe Camera Raw preferences.

  • Elements 9 won't open Nikon D7100 NEF files

    I recently upgraded from a Nikon 7000 to a Nikon D7100 DSLR camera.  Historically I was able to open and process NEF files in Photoshop Elements 9 from my D7000.  But now it will not open those files.  I clicked on the Help/Update link and it says my version is fully updated.  What do I have to do to be able to open these NEF files as I did before with those files from my D7000?
    Thanks...RDK

    Support for the D7100 was added to ACR 7.4 so you'll need PSE11 or later to open them directly. You can either use the Nikon software to convert them or the free Adobe DNG converter to convert them to DNG files that PSE9 can open.

  • While editing saved PSD files, png elements have a white background when resized

    Hi,
    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  When I open a psd file that I previously worked on and saved, when I try to resize or in some way change the different elements(layers) of the layout, they get a white background inside the bounding box for that layer.  The different elements(layers) where pulled in from png files that had transparent backgrounds.  When I initially resize or change those layers the white background doesn't appear.  It only happens when I reopen the saved psd file to make some changes to it.  What do I need to do to stop that from happening?
    Thanks in advance for you help!
    Katheryn

    You can't drag from the project bin in PSE 6 and 7. Items you move this way become a kind of semi-smart object on a special passthrough layer. Use copy/paste or drag from the layers palette of the png file into the main image window of the psd file.

  • I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11.  PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files.  What do I need to do?

    You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4

  • I use a Nikon d610 and my Photoshop Elements 10 won't open in camera raw. How can I fix it? The camera version is 6.7.0339

    i'm using a Nikon D610 now and Photoshop Elements 10 won't open files in camera raw. How can I fix the issue? The version of camera raw is 6.7.0339

    Hi,
    The D610 requires camera raw 8.3 which is not compatible with your PSE 10.
    You need to upgrade to PSE 12 (or later) or use the free Adobe DNG converter. The converter will take a flder containg your NEF files and converte them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 10.

  • Does elements 13 support saving psd files

    does elements 13 support saving psd files? or is it a different way i.e. tiff?

    In the pse 13 editor go to File>Save As and select Photoshop (.psd) from the choices beside Format

  • Elements 13 won't open from iphoto

    Elements 13 won't open from iphoto. I have gone in Preferences/Advanced/ and changed the Edit photos to Elements 13.

    a single user license entitles the user to install and activate on up-to two computers.  but that license doesn't really permit that 2nd installation to be used by another person.
    so, if you son was the user on your computer he could sign in using his adobe id on your computer and use pse on your computer (as well as his own -  but not both computers at any one time).
    if a 2nd user (you) wanted to use pse, they should purchase their own license.

  • PDF file won't open after saving it from the web.  get error message file is damaged.

    My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web.  I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion? 

    I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
    But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
    CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

  • While in organizer window, I select edit photos and the elements workspace won,t open.  Any solution

       I am new to my recently installed elements 9-- I imported my photos from iphoto to the organizer--after I select a photo, and go to the fix section, I go to edit photos but the elements workspace won,t open, even though the timer dealy runs  Any help?

    If your Elements workspace is not loading then i think it is the problem with the Editor's preferences.

  • Photoshop elements 10 won't open up Nikon d4s RAW files

    Photoshop elements 10 will not open up my RAW files from my new Nikon D4S.  My Nikon d700 RAW files tranfers fine.  I have updated my Camera RAW to 6.7 but it still does not open.  I do not want to convert my NEF files to DNG because you lose data.  Is there anything else I can do or another update out there?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Elements 10 ships with Camera Raw 6.4.1 and is compatible up to Camera Raw 6.7. Nothing after that.
    The D700 requires Camera Raw 5.1 or later so Elements 10 can read those Raw files.
    The D4S requires Camera Raw 8.4 or later so Elements 10 will never be able to read those Raw files.
    Your choices are to convert the D4S Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 10. Or upgrade to Elements 12.
    I do not want to convert my NEF files to DNG because you lose data.
    Where did you get that information from? What kind of data do you lose?

  • Opening Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2 (Mac Tiger 10.411)

    Is it possible to open Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2? After I created them in Photoshop CS3 I reset the preferences to maximize compatibility "always", then I resaved all the psd files. Do you think this will work? I have to open them in CS2 tomorrow at work...

    Also, some old features may have changed in the new version. Specifically, I had some CS3 files from a client that had smart objects that did not open correctly in CS2.
    As I recall, CS2 was able to open a flattened version of the file, just not fully layered with smart objects.
    I actually had CS3 on my laptop, just not on the tower I wanted to work on, so I opened the files on the laptop, rasterized the smart objects, and saved. After this, CS2 opened the files with layers.
