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.

  • Opening/exporting Photoshop files in preview

    I have been relying on Preview to open my Photoshop files, scale them down, and save out as PNG for my web workflow. Preview scales images beautifully and much better than PS' (CS3) Save for Web command.
    This workflow is now bust in Lion, as I've just discovered I cannot export to PNG when I have a PS file open, even if it allows that when it has for instance an JPEG open. What gives? I can export as TIFF, with Alpha, but also if I reopen that TIFF file, PNG is still not an allowed format if I try to export. Hopeless!
    Has anybody found a workaround for this, or has any other sugestion?

    do a spotlight search for Preview. can you find it? it should be in the main Applications folder at the top level of the hard drive. if you can't find it you can reinstall it from the leopard install DVD using Pacifist

  • Can no longer open up report file - Crystal Crashes

    I have a crystal report that I can not longer get to open. I'm on windows 7 32-bit, and I've attempted to open it in both 2008 and 2011.
    The report is comprised mainly of sub-reports. Each sub-report in its own report header section. I'm pretty sure the issue is related to a fairly large sub-report that I added that contains pretty sizable images. The image sub-report is around 24MB and the entire report is around 25MB.
    Everything was fine up until I added the image sub-report. Now I cannot even get the crystal file to open.
    2008 version: 12.4.0.966
    2011 (trial) version: 14.0.2.364RTM
    I was finally able to open the report after trying many times and so I deleted the image sub-report and tried to save it again but it crashed...

    Adding to DEP did not resolve the issue... I can still manage to open it once in a while... I don't know how I exactly get it to open though... I've been switching the default program from 2008 and 2011 and tried opening it multiple times, or the second it crashes I attempt again, and sometimes doing any of these gets it to open but I can never re-save it again. Something in the report is causing it to crash. I think it may now be the "Consents" sub-report.

  • How do you stop Safari from removing last download when it's of the same file type? (e.g., when I download a new pps file I can no longer open a pps file that I've just downloaded)

    When I download a .pps file, I can open it from the downloads and everything is great. But if I try to download another one, then I can no longer access the previous download from the download bar. This is very annoying to me as I download and open dozens of these files every day. Is there some way that I can display all the files in the download bar and not just the last file downloaded of a certain type (a way to get Safari to stop hiding the .pps files)

    To prevent Firefox from displaying form autocomplete suggestions, you can turn off that feature using the about:config page.
    In the address bar, type or paste '''about:config''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
    I suggest bookmarking this for easier future access.
    In the search box, type or paste '''formf''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
    Scroll down to '''browser.formfill.enable''' and tap the Toggle button to switch it from true to false.
    That's it. Does it work on Facebook?
    ''The about:config preferences editor in the mobile version is similar in principle to the desktop version but many of the preferences available on the desktop version have no effect in mobile. This one I only tested on one site, but it seems to work.''

  • Can no longer open previous project files in the latest version of FCPX (10.1.1)

    In the latest version of FCPX (10.1.1), you can no longer access/open projects from the button in the lower left corner. Clicking on that button now merely brings up an index of clips in the current project's timeline. Why is that? And how do I now access my project library? By the way, clicking File>Open Library does nothing.

    You should learn about the changes introduced in 10.1, which are very significant and much for the better.
    The most important is the introduction of Libraries.
    There is no longer a "project browser". Libraries are the containers of your events and projects, and can be stored anywhere.
    The older versions had two buttons - the one you mention was already there, and opens the "Timeline Index", like it already did. The "project browser" does not exist anymore, and therefore the respective button does not exist either.
    I suggest you follow some great explanations about the new features here:

  • Since downloading firefox, I can no longer open a PDF file? How do I get my computer to open PDF files?

    I am enrolled in college and have to down load graph paper. The teacher posted a link to her copies of graph that we can download at home. The graph paper link is a PDF file and when I click on the link the page opens but it's only a white page. I also have this problem whenever I try to open any PDF file. Usually, the screen goes black. This problem started when I downloaded firefox and I do not know how to fix it. Can you help?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I can no longer open any pdf files.

    As of yesterday, pdf's don't open!  I've tried the latest Adobe Reader, Preview, and Safari. Never had this problem before.  I've reinstalled Reader and restarted my computer (running OSX 10.8.3), no help.  This problem is true for my new and old pdf's.  The message I get in all cases is "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."  Any ideas?  Is there a pdf destroyer virus out there running on Macs?

    Set Preview as your preferred app to open PDF files. Click once on any PDF and Get Info (command i).
    Towards the bottom of the info widow, Open With:
    Choose Preview, then click on Change All...
    To download a PDF from a website, right click (control click) on the link and Save Linked File As... and Preview (instead of Adobe) will download it. Save to any convenient location. Then you can open it in Preview with a double click.
    You can still use Adobe Reader by right click and Open With...
    Bonus: Preview has a smoother scroll than Adobe.
    Keep Adobe because its Flash Player will show web videos.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Can no longer open existing pdf files

    My adobe free reader program has recently become very slow and fairly non-responsive lately.  I use PDFCreator Plus for printing.  When I attempted to print a PDF to the PDFCreator Plus today (as I've done for years) when the reader was opening files so slowly, it changed all of my Adobe PDF's to PDFCreator Plus files.  It allowed me to switch them back, but now I cannot open any existing or newly created files.  I have thousand's of pdf's.  I have since loaded Foxit because I run two businesses and can't work without access to my pdf's.  I would like to use Adobe again but need to know what to do to regain the ability to utilize the program and open my pdf's once again.  I use Adobe's Free Reader with latest version 11.0.07 downloaded May 22, 2014.

    PDF Creator Plus combines a virtual printer with a preview application that displays your printed document before the PDF is created.  I use it with  the proposal software at my office.  It's a program that is less costly than Adobe.
    Cannot means I can't?  When I click on a pdf, nothing happens.  Nothing opens.  I need to be able to access my pdf's in order to work expeditiously.  My proposal and accounting files are mostly in pdf's.   I downloaded Foxit  but using Foxit is an onerous task.
    I am not sure what happened, but when I was trying to open some files from my accountant today to view in Adobe Reader, the pdf's became non-responsive.  When I clicked on an existing file, somehow it changed every Adobe pdf to a PDF Creator Plus pdf document.  I could right-click and choose to switch back to Adobe pdf's , but when I did, something really went awry, and now nothing happens at all when I click any pdf's (and they appear as regular Adobe files). 
    Again, I can open them in Foxit, but if I save them again, they are still useless unless I remain in the Foxit program. 

  • Can no longer open any native files

    Suddenly when I try to open any of my native .an files I get the following error "Edge Animate encountered errors reading the HTML in this file." Three out of the four were working fine and I hadn't even opened them for some time. Any ideas?

    Howdy,
    resdesign
    Is there a way to open older Edge .an files? The backwards compatibility for Edge is horrible.
    I currently have access to Edge CC 2014, but it's giving me the same error message as above. I don't recall what version of Edge I was using (I believe the one just before CC 2014?), and I don't have any published files. I have the source .an file and all project assets.
    Thanks for any help!

  • I can no longer directly email pdfs from mac preview

    Since upgrading to Lion I can no longer open a pdf file in Mac Preview and then select "Mail Selected PDF Document."  When I do so I receive an error message: The "New Email With Attachement" service could not be used.
    Anyone know what the problem is?

    It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.

    I just downloaded and installed Photoshop cc and the Camera Raw version is not the latest one available,so now I can no longer open files from my Nikon D750!  Can I update ACR?
    I have been using the new version of ACR with PS6 and have been able to open the D750 files,now I'm stuck.
    Thanks,

    You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

  • When opening a Photoshop file with Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file wil

    When opening a Photoshop file fthrough Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file will open in?
    I store my PSD files adjacent to the original RAW file from which it was derived.
    If I open the file folder and double click on that PSD file, it opens in CS6. But,if I use Bridge (CS6) to navigate to and open the same file, it first opens Photoshop CS5 and then opens that PSD file in CS5.
    How can I control which Photoshop will open a file I select when opening it through Bridge?.

    Interesting, but it doesn't give a clue what I'm supposed to do. No Photoshop ducuments listed.
    Look at the PSD file on the location Curt provided and search for Photoshop Document. Next to it ideally should show Adobe Photoshop CS6 if you have Bridge CS6 open. Click on it to provide the fly out menu and choose the correct Photoshop from the list.
    But probably something went wrong with your install. By default Bridge chooses the latest version of PS to open its file in.
    Maybe a reset of the preferences might also help you. Can you provide more details about OS version etc.
    And do you have a good reason for keeping your Raw and finished files in the same location. Personally I keep them apart and use a proper file name convention (yyyymmdd and details) so I can easily search for the DNG files in my archive if I needed them but I don't make mistakes in opening the wrong one

  • Can I open PSD Video files in premiere elements 12?

    I have Photoshop CS6 and would like to purchase a video editing software.  My question is if I purchase Premiere Elements 12, will I be able to open PSD video files from photoshop in the Premiere Elements?

    Ps CS 6 (and the Extended version back to CS 4) can edit Video (limited Import capabilities, and limited Export capabilities). However, Ps will NOT Export any Video as a PSD. The PSD format is the Ps native Image format, and is output via Save.
    My *assumption* was that the PSD was a Still Image, that was perhaps going to be animated in Video via Keyframing the Fixed Effects, such as Motion>Position, over time, as there is no PSD Video. Perhaps my assumption was incorrect, as to what the OP has, and wishes.
    In Ps CS 6, Video output will be to a standard Video format/CODEC, but the list of available formats/CODEC's is very limited, compared to Premiere.
    Maybe I am just misunderstanding what the OP is looking to do?
