File name after opening in Photoshop CS3

After adjusting an image in Lightroom 1.1, I open it, reflecting the Lightroom changes, in Photoshop CS3. When I'm done tweaking the image in Photoshop CS3, I save it as a PSD file. The problem: I find that two PSD files have been saved, one with the file name (as I intended) and one with the file name with "-Edit" appended to it (before the PSD extension). How can I avoid having the second file (with the "-Edit" appended) created and saved?
Thanks.
Harvey

The -edit file is the first file. That file is the method LR uses to send the image to CS3.

.nef files no longer open in Photoshop CS3

Hi
I have Nikon D60 and recently started shooting in raw when I discovered that Photoshop allows you to then edit the files to a much greater extent before converting them to .jpg.
.nef files used to open automatically in Photoshop (in a separate window, seemingly a sort of add-on designed for raw files?). Now when I try, the software tells me that they are 'the wrong kind of document'.
What's changed / broken? Or have I suddenly forgotten a vital step....?
I've tried downloading a newer version of camera raw, to no avail...
Thanks for your help

The D60 was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw version 4.4.
Make sure you update your ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) plug-in to the latest (and last) version of that plug-in compatible with CS3, which is version 4.6.

Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

Image processor: "No source files could be opened by Photoshop."

I am also getting a "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop" warning when trying to save jpegs of open images (opened from a PDF) using the image processor.
Here is what I'm doing:
1. Open multiple pages of a PDF into Photoshop
2. Run the Image Processor with settings:
- Use open images
- Save to "select folder location" (choose a valid location)
- Save as jpegs
3. Run
And it gives me the warning. How can the files not be opened by Photoshop. They already are?!?

JJ, thanks for the response, and my guess is you are correct. It would be nice if Adobe would change this. My whole intention of using the Image Processor in this case was to "batch save" all the open files. As far as I know, there isn't another way to do that without creating an action or other such nonsense. ; )
At any rate, thanks for your input and explanation. At this point, I suppose the issue is as good as solved.

I bought a Nikon D810 and the RAW files will not open in Photoshop 6. Can anyone help me?

You're welcome! It's usually CS5 and below that has the ACR update problems.
What counts is that you are back in business.

Cannot open file from Bridge after saving in Photoshop CS3

I was working on three images in Photoshop CS3, when I went to open them from Bridge for review, two of three files were reduced to tiny white squares with a dogear in the top right corner, a little blue bounding box containing three tinier red green and blue somethings so small I couldn't even see what they were with my jewellery spec.
Nothing happened when I clicked on them, no error message, nothing. I managed to get one of them in 'reveal' - which opened up a larger blue bounded box with the red button containing a cross with the message 'cannot open as not right kind of file'.
What to do please? I don't want to spend hours on an image and hope it will open afterwards. Thankyou.

Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I did notice that I'd forgotten to place a . after the file name and before the extension - ie soiphotopsd, instead of soiphoto.psd, and renamed them and the opened as psds. I would have thought that Photohop CS3 with all it's bells and whistles could have provided a helpful popup/error message to this effect when saving images though!
I still have an old file I haven't been able to open, the icon of which is simply a small blue and white box with the letters pmg on the bottom. I tried to rename the file same as, but nothing seemed to work so far. Will just keep plugin away - forgive the pun.
Thanks again.

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

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

NEF RAW files from my Nikon D5300 will not open in Photoshop CS3

Is there a plug-in or update I can download that will make it possible for my Photoshop CS3 to open NEF files in RAW.
I noticed a similar discussion a couple of years ago and I followed the advice and as far as I can tell I have the most up-to-date version of my software, and the Camera Raw plug-in is Version 4.6.0.30
I also have the same problem using CS5. Both versions say they cannot recognize the file type. Can I use a converter to make them a different kind of RAW file, but still a RAW format? I would prefer to simply be able to open them in Photoshop for editing.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Barb

I just checked the compatibility list again, and the D5300 requires Camera Raw 8.3 (Not 7.3) or Lightroom 5.3. You have Lightroom 5, but what exact version of Lightroom 5 do you have? It might require that you update your Camera Raw and your Lightroom in order to have support in both Photoshop and Lightroom.
You can check your version of Camera Raw by going to the help menu in Photoshop, then about plug-ins and then Camera Raw. The dialog that appears will indicate what version of Camera Raw you have installed. It should not be necessary for you to use the DNG converter unless you feel compelled to.

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.

Add file name script not working in CS3

I have this wonderful script (written by Brian Price) back in 2004 for PS7 that adds the file name to an image ( I use it for adding file names to small images to be used in a slideshow). It works great ion Photoshop CS, but when I try to use it as part of a batch action in CS3 it stalls on line 9. OIt works fine when run on just one image in CS3 . . . it just stalls when run as part of a batch action!
Any help GREATLY appreciated!

Click on .jpg or .tif and now won't open in Photoshop CS3

I had a major ATM Subsystem Failure yesterday. After 10 hours of stuggle, futile calls to Adobe support, my husband found some Microsoft cleaner thing and was able to reload CS3 after 9 attemtps, but not in the normal Adobe file folders - only to the desktop (this was suggested by Adobe support). Now when I go to any .tif or .jpg file and double-click to open, I don't even have Photoshop as an option for opening the file. I navigate to the place where this file is and click Photoshop CS3 and the Photoshop.exe, but nothing happens. How come Photoshop is not being recognized as a picture editor? Is there some other setting in Photoshop that I need to set so that this works? Thank you!

I looks as if your file associations are not working.
Go to Windows Explorer Tools > Folder Options > File types
Find JPG and set "Open With" to Photoshop.
If it's not on the list browse to it and select, then OK it.
I can't believe the thing on the desktop is the program itself!

.CR2 files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I recently got CS4 Extended version of Photoshop and need to work on my RAW files, but they won't open. I can see the thumbnails in Bridge and when I try to open them Photoshop says they're "not the right type of document"...so...not sure what to do. I've done a ton of research and cannot figure out why these files are unable to open. I need help!

I've had the same problem recently and worked on the solution this morning. I havn't read the full info stream here, but can tell you what finally worked for me today.
I also have CS4, and recently bought a Canon 7D. My .CR2 files would not open, due to proprietay issues with the new camera.
I first had to buy a download of WinZip, since I wasn't able to open any download from Adobe. The WinZip was about $30. Next, I went back to Adobe/downloads/updates and used Find Product Updates menu. I found the compatable update of RAW plug in was 5.7 for our CS4 version. I clicked the link to this download, and began the process by clicking Save. I then went to the Download folder and found the file from Adobe in the WinZip folder. At this point I went back to the Adobe download site and printed out the download instructions concerning where to find the old plug in, what to do with it, and how to install the newer downloaded plug in.
After all this, I opened CS4, Bridge, located my first .CR2 file, and it worked just fine. I was also able to convert these .CR2 files, once opened, to DNG files.
Hope this helps.

D800 RAW files will not open in Photoshop CS6

I have just installed the CS6 upgrade to Photoshop CS4 Extended, but now the software will not read the RAW files from my D800.
I have followed Adobe's instructions to check that I have the correct RAW plug-in (7.0.0.308) which I have. I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled the software without success. I do not want to convert my RAW files into DNG files, so I have ignored that step.
The 'Open in Photoshop' instruction in Lightroom 4 does not open my D800 RAW files either, although the files can be opened in Lightroom 4 OK.
Any idea what the problem is?

Brilliant! ACR 7.1 Beta allows D800 RAW files to be opened within CS6 and it also allows Photoshop 4 to open D800 RAW files in Photoshop CS6.
It says that the Beta version will expire on 30/6/2012 after which it will keep advising on a daily basis although it will still work. Any idea, what happens next? Does Adobe issue a proper ACR 7.1 and distribute it as part of the update service?

Lost changes to DNG when opening in Photoshop CS3

I am losing changes that have been made to DNG files when opening these files in Photoshop CS3. I added my Canon CR2 RAW files to Lightroom, made changes to the images in Lightroom (exposure, contrast, color correction, etc) and then exported the images as DNG files. Now, when I open any of these DNG files in Photoshop CS3 or Lightroom 2.1 all of the changes are completely lost. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Thank you for your replies to this problem. Yes, I did in fact upgrade to ACR 4.6 on 10/07. The problem that I have it that only a few of the thousands of images I worked on remain in Lightroom at this point. I worked on the files in Lightroom, exported them as DNG files to retain the changes and then removed them from Lightroom.
I have narrowed the problem down to a specific date of 10/21. I noticed that all of the DNG files that I am having problems with were modified on this date and will not open in ACR while retaining the changes I made in Lightroom. If I go through my backup and pull the same DNG file prior to 10/21, it opens in ACR perfectly and retains all of my Lightroom modifications.
What I want to determine here is two things. One, how to recover the Lightroom information in the DNG files that have been corrupted so the file opens in ACR as intended. Two, how to prevent this from ever happening again. I am happy to post samples of the problematic DNG files, as well as, the older backup versions that are working correctly. Any insight to this issue would be greatly appreciated.
