Getting message: Cannot complete your request because it's not the right type of document

I am taking a CS6 Photoshop class, I downloaded the data files from cengagebrain.com, my task in the book is to click File on the Menu bar, then click Open, then navigate to the drive and folder where you store you Data Files.  When I click the corresponding file (PS 1-1.psd), I get the following error message: Cannot complete your request because it's not the right type of document.
Can anyone help please?

Good day!
Cannot complete your request because it's not the right type of document.
Are you sure the file has the correct suffix?
It might have been damaged in downloading, unstuffing, copying …, so if you are certain that the site is legit you may want to try re-downloading the file.

  • Problems installing plug-ins (and even Adobe updates) to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

    Problems installing plug-ins to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.  (Same CS5 and plug-ins installed OK several years ago on a Vista laptop.  Now I'm just trying to migrate everything over to the new laptop.) Even some Adobe updates won't install.  Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."   Any solution?

    CS5's automatic update mechanism is broken, perhaps because it is no longer updated and can't cope with the newer ways of updating.
    So this means you will have make a list of the updates that failed, go here: Product updates
    and manually download/install from there.

  • Trying to import video"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"

    When I try to import a video into Photoshop CS6 I get the error: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
    I have tried multiple formats with no luck. 
    I was able to improt it into Photoshop CS5 by dragging and dropping.
    Im using Photoshop CS 6 64bit, have tried 32bit with no luck
    If I try to drag and drop it, I get this error: could not place the document. Because no parser or file format can open the file. 
    I have tried opening a .mov, and a .avi file. I thought it might be a codec thing but why can cs5 open it but not cs6?
    I noticed other posts with the same issue but they did not get resolved.  Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Vurgano, Powelly 100, and izzysanime,
    Has the issue been resloved?
    If so, how was it resolved?
    I see Yesughei and Powelly are on Win7.
    Izzysanime, which Win OS are you using?
    Vurgano, what platform/OS are you using?
    We are still investigating this issue and would appreciate your assistance.
    To rule out problems with the files you have, could you please verify the Photoshop CS5 sample file "CheeziPuffs.mov" will also not work? (program files\adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\samples)
    Also would you please verify the following:
    Virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
    Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
    Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open the file.
    - If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
    - If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
      4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open the file.
    If everyone is on Win 7, it makes me wonder about permissions...
    Thanks,

  • "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" Why not?

    When I attempt to open a Canon .CR2 image in CS3, I get the following error: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" What is the source for this problem?

    What camera do you have?
    Before you resign yourself to using the free DNG converter, which adds a step to the process each time you want to open raw files, you might want to double check to see if you have installed the latest Camera Raw update, and whether that version actually handles your camera.
    Check your version by choosing Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw in Photoshop.  4.6 is the latest for Photoshop CS3.
    Check the list of supported cameras in the ReadMe file for Camera Raw 4.6 (the latest version that will install with Photoshop CS3) here:
    http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_4.6_ReadMe.pdf
    At the root of all this is that every different camera makes a slightly different format .cr2 file, even though they're all named .cr2.  If your camera was designed/released after the last update of Camera Raw for CS3 was made (i.e., when PS CS4 was first released), then it will not be supported by that version of Camera Raw.  Adobe stops adding new camera support to each version of Photoshop when the next major release goes out.  If you find yourself in this situation, then the DNG converter, as Silkrooster has said, is what you'll want to use.

  • Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

    This problem has been re-occuring for a day now, and I honestly have no clue why, I followed the directions. I updated my camera raw plugin, and photoshop to the lastest version. I am trying to open an avi file but it won't open it. About 4 seconds long. Usually I could but yesterday when I tried opening it, it says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." Any suggestions because I'm trying to make gifs but I can't because photoshop won't let me open the avi. file.

    Thanks, but I have a 64-bit pc, I do have photoshop cs5 64 and 32 bit but it's only avaiblable for 32 bit, i'll use it for now but if anyone has a solution for 64 bit photoshop it'd be great.

  • I cant updated Camera Raw to accommodate my Canon 550D Raw images on CS4 - its saying "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" HELP!!!

    Ive tried downloading the latest version but then always brings up CS4 and says not the right kind of document...? ive tried going to Updstes in help and says all updated but I have version 5.0.0.178 of Camera Raw

    Adobe Camera Raw did not support the Canon 550D until version 6.1 for Photoshop CS5.
    The best way if you do not wish to upgrade is to download the 8.7 DNG converter and convert your Canon 550d raw files to dng so that Photoshop CS4 can open them in your version of Camera Raw.
    Where to get the DNG converter:
    Camera Raw 8.7 and DNG Converter 8.7 Now available

  • I used to be able open video files in Photoshop CS6. When I try to open it now it says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

    I don't know what I did. I started messing around with After Effects and accidentally opened up Adobe Media Encoder Queue. After that, that's when I noticed the problem. I can still import the video frames into layers but I can't open it up directly. I tried opening .avi, .mkv, and .wmv files. Also just noticed I'm missing the "change timeline view into video view" button.  Any help will be appreciated! Thanks.

    You either borked your hardware acceleration stuff by changing graphics settings/ installing a different driver or you messed up your CoDecs (and the associated hardware acceleration options) by installing a Codec pack or alternate media player... Impossible to be more specific, since you haven't bothered to provide even the most basic system info.

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

  • "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."

    I am using the latest version of Photoshop CC. When I attempt to open a recent .psd file listed in the Open Recent list, I get the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." I can use the open command to open these files with no problem. The files are not damaged or missing the .psd extension and open normally except when using the Open Recent menu. OS is Mac 10.8.5. Thanks for any clues as to a fix.

    As weid as it may sound: simply don't use "Open recent...". Use Bridge to manage, find and start them in PS.

  • 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.

  • CS3 Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.

    CS3 Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.   Also, all the jpg images I have open in preview only. The only thing I did different about the time these things changed, was upgrading to 10.6 on my mac. Hopefully I can fix this with your help!  I really appreciate it in advance.

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See:  
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • NEF file doesn't open "because it is not the right kind of document"?

    Hello-
    I just installed photoshop on a new computer and am trying to open NEF files.  It gives me an error message that says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".  I have never had this error message when opening NEF files on other computers.  Any idea what I need to do?
    Thanks!

    It would be useful to know what version of Photoshop you are using and what version of Camera Raw you have installed...odds are you need to update your ACR plug-in (or use the most recent version og DNG Converter).

  • Browser gets "Cannot complete your request because of a program error"

    Running Photoshop-7, WinXP Pro, on a PC with 2MB ram.
    PS7 was working fine but I installed a new Samsung 2253BW LCD monitor, and about 3 new software. I don't know what I did but when I opened PS7, the browser's left window pane does not show the folders at the left and only shows (+)Desktop. The right window pane shows thumbnails of whatever folder I'm in.
    WHAT I CANNOT DO:
    When I click the (+) for the Desktop icon in the left pane, I get the message "Cannot complete your request because of a program error."
    WHAT I CAN DO:
    I can browse using the textbox above the right window pane and access any graphic file I want to.
    THINGS I'VE TRIED:
    - Removed PS7. Installed PS7. --- Same problem.
    - Created a new user --- PS7 works normally!
    - Go back to the original user. --- Same problem.
    Any ideas before I get a sledge hammer?

    Never mind, I found the problem.
    It was a new desktop icon named "Folding@home" that a new software must have installed. I deleted it and now PS7's browser works normally again. Pretty unbelievable!
    Putting back the sledgehammer,
