File isnt opening in photoshop 6

files aren't opening in photoshop 6, but different palettes, like layers, characters, for a file do open.
Tried reinstalling photoshop software from original disk. Still doesnt work. Anyone know how to fix what's wrong

Hi...yes I can do a file Save As... but only as a different name, it will not replace the current name (says file open, same as before). If I do Save As and use a new name of course, I am then left with the original PSD file and the new one (which is not in the LR catalog, must be imported.)
The files are not open in bridge, it isn't even running.
Thanks
Dave

  • Remove file that opens with photoshop cs6

    Every time I start up Photoshop CS6 (Cloud), an old file opens but it has a totally different name than the file itself does and is a .psb file. I cannot right click on it, I have tried searching for it in my computer to delete the file, it doesn't exist anywhere. How can I keep this strange file from opening upon startup and get rid of it once and for all?

    Chances are that's the recovery file from a photoshop crash.
    If you you right click on the document tab, you should be able to get to the file if you click on Reveal in Explorer or Reveal in Finder.

  • Cannot save file after opening in photoshop

    I have a file selected in my lightroom library and I select photo -> edit in photoshop. I am selecting to edit a copy of the file. A copy is created and opens in photoshop. I make some adjustments and when I try to save it, I get an error message:
    Could not save "file name" because the file is already in use or was left open.
    I tried closing lightroom before saving, but it did not help.
    All these in lightroom 1.3.1 and photoshop cs3 on a mac.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

  • Canon 5D RAW files not opening in Photoshop CS3

    Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.
    Hey Ho!
    I did a photoshoot at a friend's studio last week, using his Canon 5D as it was all set up with the lights etc etc.
    He saved the files for me as RAW - *.CR2 - as I am used to using with my 450D. The only difference I can see is that his files are numbered like this:
    _MG_1791.CR2
    whereas mine would have an "I" at the front - like it would be:
    IMG_1791.CR2
    I cannot open his files in my Photoshop CS3 - I get the error "Cannot complete your request as it is not the right type of file" or similar. I have no problems opening my own CR2 files from my 450D.
    I have searched this issue on the Adobe forums, as well as other photography forums, and they say to download the plugin update remove the old one and replace it with the new. I have tried following step-by-step, but I still can't get it to work.
    If anyone has come across a similar problem, I would be greatful to hear what you did.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am trying the DNG converter again, and it seems to be converting this time - maybe I didn't do it right last time... I hope that CS3 will be able to read the DNG files - will let you know how it goes shortly!

  • FILE WONT OPEN IN PHOTOSHOP CS3... Gives error not compatable with this version

    i have read through several other threads an nothing suggested seems to work
    when i attempt to open a particular psd it tells me file cannot be opened because it is not compatible with this version of photoshop. it was built in cs3 and worked like 5 hrs before i tried to open it to work on it didn't save it when i opened it the last time(as in i just opened it on my pc to show some one n closed it ) i tried opening it in everything suggested it doesn't work. PLEASE help it was hard work ...

    How are you saving these files (i.e., where did the file that won't open come from)?
    If you're saving a .psd with a NEWER version of Photoshop, then in the newer version you should go into Edit - Preferences - File Handling and change the field Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility to Always if you want to be able to pass the PSD files around to multiple (older) versions of Photoshop.
    If you're getting the files from others, you need to ask them to make the above change.

  • Library of congress jp2 files not opening in photoshop

    Am I missing something?  I am using Adobe Photoshop CC (2014).. but when I attempt to open a .jp2 file (JPEG 2000) downloaded from the LoC, I get an error in Photoshop saying "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file"?
    Thanks for any suggestions to resolve this.

    when I googled JPEG 2000 and photoshop, I was under the impression that Photoshop supported this format?
    some results from Adobe Communities said to avoid 3rd party plugins and that Photoshop should have the plugin built-in?
    Also found in the Communities a link to an add-on plug-in from Adobe...
    will this link work with Photoshop CC?

  • How do I get Camera Raw for Pentax PEF file to open in Photoshop CS4?

    How do I get Camera Raw in CS4 to recognize Pentax PEF files? I have downloaded and installed the Camera Raw Plug Ins but I still cannot open the file.  I have done this on my older computer but can't seem to get it to work on my new one.

    I just looked that up. You need at least Adobe Camera Raw 8.3 which only Photoshop CS6 and above has.
    Adobe Camera RAW 8.3 include Pentax K-3 support - PentaxForums.com
    So in order to read it in ACR 5.7, you will need to use the free Adobe DNG Converter and convert those Pentax raw files to DNG.

  • Can a layered .AI or .EPS file be opened in Photoshop, keeping its layers?

    is there a way to open or have exported a vectorized EPS, AI or similar file into Photoshop that somehow keeps the layers without opening it as a flattened document?

    Depending on what you want to accomplish an alternative work flow may be an option. You can place your AI file in photoshop. While this creates a flattened version of the image in photoshop, it is a smart object, which can be repeatedly scaled or by double clicking on it you can reopen the file in AI and change any layer content you wish and have the changes show up in Photoshop. So if you want your layer work done in AI and your rendering done in photoshop you can have it function that way.

  • JPG file only opens in Photoshop

    I have a jpg file that was created with Photoshop CS4 which will not open in any other picture viewer that I can find. This picture is high res and needs to remain so.
    Can anyone cite known reasons for this phenomenon?
    Cheers,
    Leon

    Leon - it's possible that the image is too large for other viewers, or that it is CMYK (that most JPEG viewers don't handle), or that it contains more metadata than other viewers can handle....

  • Struggling to get raw files to open in Photoshop CS2

    Feeling foolish.
    Have new Canon 5D Mark II and shot first raw files. Went to open them in CS2 (my old 20D files opened fine there) and got error message.
    Came to adobe site, download new camera_raw.8bi, followed instructions to move it into right folder, archived old. Nothing. Same error. Checked the "Help > about plug-ins >" and it only shows the one raw.
    Went back to adobe site and looked into DNG converter (not sure why I need that -- can't I just open the files in CS2 like before?) and downloaded that zip (5.1). No instructions that I can find anywhere on what to do with those files. Dragged the .exe onto my desktop and fired it up, pointed it at one of the raw files and . .  . got an error "there was an error parsing the file."
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. In particular, I would like to be able to open the files in CS2, if possible.
    Thanks

    Thanks. Bottom line for others: if you have a 5D and CS2, you can't open raw files directly. You must use the (right) DNG converter. The link in the tech note brought me to a .exe (not a .zip) that installed the correct version of DNG converter, which solved the problem. Thanks again.
    You almost have it right.  You do not need the "right" DNG converter.  You always want to use the most current version of the DNG converter.  It will convert files from the most recent cameras supported by ACR, and those DNG files are compatible with any version of the ACR from 2.4 to the most current version.

  • Nikon D750 NEF files doesnt open in Photoshop CS5.1 or in camera raw.

    Is CS5 to old?
    I have installed CameraRaw_8_7 but it didn't help.
    If CS5 is to old, what is the best way to upgrade?

    ACR 8.7 requires at least CS6 to run.
    I do not see your camera in the list of supported camera models yet.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    However, it is supported by the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.7RC (beta).  You need to look for, download, install and run that Adobe DNG Converter 8.7RC (beta) on each batch of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs you can then open with CS5 and any version of ACR 6.x.

  • Why do my recent files not open on photoshop elements after downloading the trial for CC?, Why do my recent files not open on photoshop elements after downloading the trial for CC?

    I would try resetting the photoshop elements 6 preferences and see if that makes a difference.
    reset preferences
    Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys down just after starting the launch of the photoshop elements 6 editor
    Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements settings file
    Press Yes

  • I can no longer open PSD Photoshop files on Preview

    I can no longer open PSD Photoshop files on Preview since I installed Snow Leopard on my White MacBook. Whenever I double click a PSD file, it opens in Photoshop.
    I used to force PSD files to be opened with Preview by "Get Info" (command + I ) and then Changing the option "open with" to Preview.
    I also tried draggin the PSD file onto Preview, nothing happened.
    Did Snow Leopard stop PSD support, or I'm missing something??

    No, I can still open psd files in Preview, no problem, from both Preview's "Open" dialog and by drag 'n drop onto its icon. It opens simple psd files without error, files with an alpha channel may or may not open correctly, layers will display the topmost layer, if that layer has a mask it displays incorrectly. In short, nothing seems to have changed.
