FC settings to match HDTV 1080p Photoshop document?

A Photoshop HDTV 1080p 1920x1080 document "looks" like it has the correct dimensions of a rectangular HDTV screen.
But when imported into FC and placed on the Canvas of a Sequence set to HD 1440 x 1080 the top and bottom margins of the Canvas extend beyond the dimensions of the Photoshop document by 240 pixels top and bottom...just a guess. ; )
What is necessary for the FC Canvas to match typical HD rectangular dimensions?
I don't understand...1440x1080 is not even a 16:9 ratio, is it?
Do I check/uncheck anamorphic 16:9 under Sequence > Settings...?
Do I check/uncheck "Correct for Aspect Ratio" under the Canvas settings?
How can I make the Canvas exactly match a 16:9 HDTV 1080p 1920x1080 Photoshop document??
Thank you...new to FCP...very new

"So then you want a sequence setting that is 1920x1080 Square pixels"
A custom setting? Why are there no FCP default settings at what Photoshop considers the default HD resolution? Am I misinterpreting this?
HD(1280x1080)(16:9) is a FCP setting but...it is not even a 16:9 ratio? why is it listed as 16:9?
Should I use a custom setting of 1920x1080? Would I still check "anamorphic 16:9" and "correct aspect ratio"?
thanks for your patience

Print settings dont match up with Photoshop Printer

I'm using a Toshiba e-studio 3055c and every time I try to print from Photoshop as a Letter size but when it get sent to the printer it shows up as Ledger size and jams the printer. I've done customer support with Toshiba and reinstalled drivers etc. This is something new. It wasn't doing this not too long ago and I haven't changed any of my settings. Is anyone else having this problem?

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like the exact print settings or document sizes in PS. Chances are you have simply enabled an "auto-select tray" option or similar in the printer driver or even the printer's config menu itself...

HDV - 1080i50 equals size in Photoshop of DVCPRHD 1080p or HDTV 1080p ??

Hi, I'd like to create a graphic in Photoshop which matches the dimensions (width and length) of a HDV - 1080i50 sequence...which Photoshop default do I use? DVCPRHD 1080p or HDTV 1080p ??
What is the difference?
Thanks

HDTV 1080p.

Changing sequence settings to match clip settings-which settings are right?

I'm using a Canon HF10 camcorder and FCS 2 with a 24" iMac Intel Duo core.
When I bring in a video clip shot on my Canon HF10 (I shoot in its highest-quality mode: FXP and I do not use the 24 fps setting), I take FCP 6's recommendation to set the Sequence Settings to match the clip settings. If I then go to Sequence> Settings, I see that my Sequence Settings are 1920 x 1080 HDTV 1080i (16:9).
If you look at the Canon web page for my camera: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=269&mo delid=16186 , it shows that the camera is "Full HD" and "30p Progressive." So, why is FCP defaulting the Sequence Settings to 1080i? Is this default setting what I should be using?
Also, and perhaps more importantly, if I go into Motion 3 to create things to add to FCP projects that use the footage from my HF10, what settings should I choose in Motion 3's Select Project Preset window?
Thanks!

Hey guys,
I found the same problem occurred with my own "weird codec". I'm on FCP 6.0.6 and I was doing some simple testing work with Photobooth's video feature, which records in MPEG-4 640x480 .mov. I tried getting my sequence to auto-conform with both 'ASK' and 'Always' settings, but no dice.
I didn't find a solution, mostly because it was easier to simply batch export them all as DV Pal clips, but I thought you might be interested. I posit the auto conform only works with more conventional video codecs like those listed in the Easy Setup options - of which, MPEG-4 is not.

Saving a Photoshop CC project from a Mac (in .PSD format) to a thumb drive and trying to transfer it to a Dell laptop with Photoshop CS6. Will not open...Error message: could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document.

The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).
The platforms don't matter, but you still need file transfer that doesn't corrupt files...

PSE 9.0 error: ".....not a valid photoshop document"

Platform is XP Pro...camera is Canon compact digital.
I downloaded photos to desktop folder. PSE allowed me to open the first 3 photos from the folder to edit, then I got the above error message.
However, when I right click on the photo in the desktopp folder to "open with Photoshop Elements" the PSE 9.0 editor opened all the photos.
WHY?
TIA,
Doc

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.
The other day, I spent many hours editing some photos for a client. I saved them all and closed Photoshop. When I tried to open the .PSDs, they all came up with this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I was freaking out. I could see the thunmbnails and previews with the MacOS Finder and could see the images just fine in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.
Finally, I remembered that these were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited them from within Lightroom into Photoshop, they opened as TIFFs. However, when I did "save as", I wanted to name them similarly to some other files I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the file name in the Save As dialog to make it easier to name the new file I was saving, but I didn't realize it was changing the file extention from ".tif" to ".psd" as well. The older MacOS (version 9 and earlier) didn't rely on file extensions fo identifying file types, so it didn't hit me right away that this would be the problem. When I changed the incorrect .psd file extension to .tiff, the files opened in Photoshop just fine.
SO... if you run into this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error, try figuring out if it's actually another file type (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc) by either getting the file info from another program or just experimenting with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file isn't actually corrupt, but just named improperly!

Not a valid photoshop document after time machine recovery and reinstall of photoshop

After a time machine recovery most of my photoshop documents recovered fine, however there are a select few (and my most recent work unfortuantely) that seem corrupt. It isn't all of my documents. Trying to recover them again from back-up doesn't seem to be working. I did have to reinstall photoshop CS4 after the recovery.
I have seen similar questions on here but none of the solutions have worked. I've tried opening with other programs, I've tried changing the file extentions etc. If the files were just corrupt recovering them from time machine should fix the problem. Many thanks if you can assist.

…but it doesn't feel like corrupt files are the problem…
If it's only a few selected files that are misbehaving but others do open without problems, then you do have file corruption in each of those files.
Go back in time machine to the earliest possible date after each file was created and restore only that particular version of the file.
If that doesn't work, then considered the files irretrievably lost. What kind of error message do they return when you try to open them?
In any event, it's imperative that you check the SMART status of your drive and Repair Drive (or at least Verify Drive) to check for a failing drive.
As an aside, taking a belt-and-suspender approach, it's my practice to supplement Time Machine with a clone of my working drive and daily backups of my files. For some reason, I've had three Time Machine disks fail on three different Macs and locations in the last six months or so.
I had Time Machine disabled on all my Macs until I decided to give it one more test run on a 65-lb Mac Pro recently. I'm not convinced one way or another yet, so all other Macs still have TM disabled for now. Time Machine is very intrusive, and the external TM drives run much, much hotter than external storage files—always a troubling sign in my book.

'not a valid photoshop document' when I try and overlay an image on photoshop.. help!!!

I downloaded jpeg files from google drive. As far as I know they are not corrupted and when I used them on the newest version of photoshop they worked. What I am trying to do is place images next to one another. Everytime I try and do this a notice comes up saying 'it is not a valid photoshop document'. I have tried changing the jpg to photoshop format pdf and also opening them as photoshop files - I dont know what else I can do and my photography deadline is tomorrow for my final edits!
PLEASE HELP

Without having access to the file that you are working with I would not know how to help. There can be many factors involved that are giving you grief. Are you on PC or Mac? There are many here that are more savvy with the nuances and problematic issues with Ps than I. If you wish to send me one of the files I can give it a try on my setup and see what happens- [email protected]

"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.

"...not a valid Photoshop document" error when opening Mac cc file on PC

I get a "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." error message whenever I try to open up a PSD file created on a Mac using Photoshop CC on my PC using CC. Other people have been able to open the file from the same location, so the files aren't corrupted. Anyone know how to fix this?

Photoshop CC 2014 Cannot open .psd file because it's not a "photoshop document"

Right, straight to the case,
I was working on a very important file at work. I kept saving it at .psd (photoshop), then I also saved it as .esp and .pdf, just to be able to open then in AI.
Anyhow, after some saving, I had the .psd file ready and done so I closed it. Wen't to open it later to find out the it's not a photoshop document.
I've tried to repair it but even the repair apps can't read it. I'm 100% sure i saved it as .psd
Does anyone have a clue here of what could of have happen to it?
This is how it looks like on "finder"
The file is nearly 300MB large.. so there must be something in it? any help would be MUCH appreciated

My first thought is retrieving a backup copy via Time Machine if you set that up.
Krita is a free app that I have seen open Photoshop files that even Photoshop could not open. There you may find the problem layer or flatten it.

Embed fonts in a Photoshop document?

A friend has sent me a photoshop document to work on but i dont have all the fonts he does. Its a pain trying to find and download them all.
Is there a way of embedding fonts in a document so he could send me the file and I could edit the text?
I guess this isn't a photoshop question but if he sends me the fonts I need from his font folder in his library, should that work?
thanks a lot
James

In theory he could send you those fonts as long as you delete them after working on his job.
Edit:
I write this because of all the Service Bureaus that you give your fonts to for output I realize that with submitting PDFs this becomes unnecessary.
As long as he uses the fonts only on that one job, especially if they were bought for that job does it matter who does the work?
they would need to be deleted after the work was completed, just like at a Service Bureau.
