Error: Could not complete your request because an unknown command was encountered.

I've been working on a file in FreeHand 11 for a few months
now, and for some reason after saving and closing the file about a
week ago, I can no longer open it - on either of my computers (both
PCs, one running XP, one running Vista). When I attempt to do so, I
am presented with the following error message:
Could not complete your request because an unknown command
was encountered.
Is there any possible way to fix this?

Haha. I know. I was stupid... The last backup of the file is
four months old. Unfortunately I've done quite a lot of work on it
since then...
One interesting thing though, is that I can still see the
thumbnail picture in Windows Explorer. Also, I'm able to open the
file with Fireworks, but none of the hidden layers (most of my
work) are there.
I just tried to open it again on my desktop. Same error
message (but in German)...:
"Ihre Anforderung konnte nicht ausgeführt werden. Ein
unbekannter Fehler ist aufgetreten." :S

  • Could not complete your request because an unknown command was encountered

    So I'm working on a file, I close it, then I can't re-open
    it. Bizarrely, the same file WILL open on another PC OK. (a puny
    IBM ThinkPad)
    This is deeply frustrating as it's a file I've been working
    on for days.
    Help me please!

    Did you have 'Remember layer info' turned on in Preferences
    when you created
    the group?
    I have had document corruption when a complex group was made
    of a number of
    nested groups. The subgroups were saved with 'remember layer
    info' on. The
    group went through several revisions, while the layers in the
    subsequent
    documents had the same layer names but were in various
    orders. Some elements
    were added via the Paste Behind command.
    This shouldn't cause a problem, except that when you do
    ungroup, bits and
    pieces are going to go to unexpected layers.
    For this reason, I usually work with 'Remember layer info'
    off, and only
    turn it on when I need it for a specific purpose.
    Did you have 'remember layer info' set the same way on both
    computers?

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

  • Type layer error: Could not complete your request because of a program error.

    I am trying to rebuild text in a photo. I clicked the type tool, clicked on the background layer (knowing a new one should form) and got this error:
    Could not complete your request because of a program error.
    Then I made a new blank layer, clicked on it and got the same error.
    I quit, relaunched started typing the new layer without a hitch. But when I selected to change the font (to any font), I got the same error
    I switched to Firefox to search for the problem and went back to PSCS5. Now I can change the font! After switching applications and clicking on the type layer, I get the error again! Then it's fixed. Then it comes back.
    Anyone have this problem or a solution?
    I'm using Mac OS 10.5.8 with PSCS5 12.0.1

    Most likely you have a corrupt font which is causing problems for some of the type/font code.
    Try validating your fonts with FontBook as a first step.

  • CS6 Error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."

    I get the error "Could not complete your request because of a program error." anytime I try to open a .psd file someone has sent me.
    This error is occuring in CS6.
    Anything I can do?

    Hi Basedcade,
    Do you know what version of Photoshop was used to create the .psd they are sending? II'd want to make sure the person sending the .psd is selecting the option to maximize compatibility when saving the .psd file. How is the person sending you the .psd file, email, etc.? Does the person sending it have an Adobe ID? If so, maybe have them upload the .psd and share it via Creative Cloud to see if it does the same thing when transferred that way?

  • Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • File Error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered

    I saved a painting I was working on in photoshop for the past week, went to open it up this morning and got the following error: could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
    I tried opening it up in other programs with no luck. Any suggestions?

    Probably not good news I'm afraid. Hopefully you use Time Machine to keep regular backups of your work?
    Have you tried to open the file in Graphic Converter (shareware application)?
    I find file corruption practically non-existant these days. I would suggest that you maintain your machine. This can be done with Onyx http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html. Run all the tasks in the "automation" section of this application. 
    If you can do a drive check - checking your hard drive for physical issues might also be a good idea. 

  • How do I fix "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found"?

    Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found
    The above messagecomes up on a lot of my photoshop files that have been recovered from a damaged disk - can this be fixed?
    Thanks, Phil.

    That's a pretty good indication that the data inside the files is corrupted.
    You *might* be able to get some of the image back by opening it in different tools that can open JPEGs.  But very likely none will be able to recover all the image data perfectly.
    Check Irfan View as a viewer with some resiliency for opening corrupted files.

  • Error:  "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

    Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
    I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
    I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
    Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
    My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
    Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
    I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
    I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
    Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

  • "Error: Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." How can I fix this on a mac?

    I was working on a project and I closed it after saving and closed photoshop. Then later when I came to make another adjustment to my PSD I opened the file and it said "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." How can I fix this? I didn't shut off my mac while saving it. Someone please help

    Okay, I just talked to the person that originated the document.
    When this usually happens to me, it's because I've done something stupid like saved a .jpeg as a .psd. So that's what I tried. I tried a few other extensions as well, so I thought that it was not an extension problem. Well, the originator told me it had originally been a TIFF, which was the ONE FILE EXTENSION I DIDN'T TRY. :\
    Anyway, that fixed it. Usually this error indicates either a corrupt file or the wrong extension, just in case anyone ever digs this convo up later.

  • Error "could not complete your request because of a program error" when editor is launched after PSE12 update.

    Installed PSE12 in July, Installed and operated without issue. Received a message on the iMac 21.5 running OS X 10.9.4 about an update for PSE 12 being available. I downloaded and installed the update. Now when the Editor of the app is launched, I get a message that says "could not complete your request because of a program error". If I click "OK", the editor will usually continue and operate without problem but sometimes it will launch to a full gray screen and with just the border and will not close, can not quit, and prevents the MAC from shutting down. I have the force quit the app to continue to use the MAC. I have tried safe mode and user admin with same error. I can't find any posting specific to this issue. I thought there was a method to reinstall PSE without uninstalling it but I can't find it. Should I just simply uninstall PSE 12 anad start over???

    It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
    The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon.

  • [ERROR] Could not complete your request because of a program error

    I receive this ERROR when I try to open in Photoshop CS2 different files from the same project.
    The file size is about ±52MB, with several layers and SmartObjects.
    What makes me insane is that I am able to open it on ImageReady CS2 and Illustrator CS2 but not in PS CS2.
    I already try to open it in Windows Safe Mode but no success.
    This is vital file for my work. Does anyone knows a solution for it?
    Thanks,
    Diego

    I could solve the problem using ImageReady but I lost all the SmartObjects.
    1. Open the file on ImageReady
    2. Hide all the layers
    3. Save .PSD
    4. Open in Photoshop
    It worked for me, but I lost all the SmartObjects as ImageReady doesn't support it.
