Importing PSD files from PC

I have been trying to import layered .psd files from a PC. When I import them into DVDSP they show up as a QuickTime Picture with only one layer, instead of a photoshop file with multiple layers. Anyone else encounter this issue?

Ask if they're saving the PSD with the compatibility mode selected. I can't recall exactly what it's called, but there's a preference for saving a "compatible" version of the file. What it actually does is save flattened version of the file along with the regular layers, for apps that can' read Photoshop's layers. Perhaps the file's been saved this way and DVDSP is reading the flattened portion instead?

How do I import into Photoshop touch a PSD file from sketchbook pro mobile?

How do I import into Photoshop touch a PSD file from sketchbook pro mobile?

I don't believe you can at this time. The only way to get PS Touch to import a PSD is to upload it to Creative Cloud first (but even then it'll flatten any layers).

See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after. As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

What Is the best way to upload and download psd files from Photoshop to Photoshop Touch? [was:Re]

What Is the best way to up load and down load psd files from desktop photo shop to photo shop touch? For on the go touch up or. I'm using psd files at 90 percent 300 depi when in photo shop on desktop. To ps touch

Hi Bford225,
I'd recommend using your favorite web browser and going to https://creative.adobe.com/files for uploading from the computer.
Keep in mind tablet capabilities are much less than a computer, so large files might take a long time to download and be very system intensive to work on. Although you can import files up to 12 megapixels I'd recommend something more mid range, like 6 or 7 megapixels, ie 2880 x 2160 or 3072 x 2304.
Also, PSD files are flattened when imported into Photoshop Touch.
Hope that helps,
-Dave

Error when importing psd files into Premiere Pro

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Photoshop CS4. Whenever I attempt to import a psd file I get this error message: "File format not supported". I have tested it with different file sizes and properties. My files are RGB and 8 bits/channel. Is there any way to resolve this problem? I am also using Adobe After Effects and importing psd files works great with it.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
The RGB and 8-bit take care of two possible causes, so thanks for getting those out of the way early on.
Does the PSD file contain Layers? Are any of them mostly Transparent, with just a few pixels, such as a small logo? Those have created issues.
What is the exact version of CS4, that you are running? Seems that there WAS an issue with PSD's in an earlier version, and that a later update fixed that.
There is another element with PSD's, that has caused issues, but my feeble mind is suddenly blank on what that was about. Seems that Colin Brougham commented on it not that long ago. I'll see if I can drege up one of those threads, but you might aslo want to do a Search on "PrPro" and "PSD," though the forum Search might still be broken. Maybe Google, and also look for replies from Colin. I'll do the same too. IIRC, one had to Open the offending PSD in PS, and just do a Save_As with a short file name, and a short Path (not buried deeply inside a sub-folder structure), and all was good, but do not recall any other details at the moment. I would also eliminate any spaces in the new file name, just to eliminate any issue there - use the _ like in the old DOS days, though do not think that one had to adhere to the old 8.3 structure.
Good luck,

Importing PSD file - text not treated as vector

I need to import text from a PSD file from another editor into AE, but it's appearing as image text and not letting me select Continuous Rasterization for the layer. How can I do that?

Was the text rasterized in Photoshop? If not, you should be able to select the layer in your timeline and choose: Layer > Convert To Editable Text.

Why does Premiere Pro CS3 no longer import .psd files?

Over in the German forum, BjoernG has already asked this question as of this past June. He's gotten no answer, so let's try it here. Like Bjoern I use PPro CS3. Mine is on WinXP with all updates. I import PSD files as keying masks. I've never had a problem until this evening (27 Aug 2014). I tried to import a mask I've used many times before. And it has always worked before. Tonight PPro refused to recognize .psd as a supported file type, so it didn't show in the import folder file list. When I told PPro to show "all files *.*", it showed the file. When I selected it, PPro even showed the "import file" window, then displayed the "File Import Failure" window with Error Message: File format not supported. See the picture.
This is a file I've imported into many previous projects with no problem whatever. In fact, I started with a project file from last year which showed the mask file in the project assets but offline! Even though the file had not been moved.
If PPro CS3 is as obsolete as Adobe claims it is, then who's been messing with it? And how can we get it "unmessed"?

I couldn't imagine what any of those steps would do for my problem – but I didn't have a better idea so I tried them:
> If Premiere is acting weird, restart computer.
It's a laptop, so it was off all night. I turned it on this morning.
> Hold down shift+alt while opening Premiere.
If I hold down shift-alt before clicking the desktop icon, all it does is select all icons from top left to the Premiere icon. It does not start Premiere.
If I press and hold shift-alt immediately after clicking the icon, Premiere displays every tiny module it loads rather than summarizing. I held shift-alt until Premiere was fully up and idle.
> Then empty all media cache.
I did that. As I write, Premiere is busy reconstituting all of that.
Then finally, the acid test: Try to import a .psd file. Bzz-z-zt! Still claims it's an unknown file type.
> jpegs do not have transparency. You can save as png instead.
I'm using it as a track matte key, so white is equivalent to transparent. I do have to select "matte luma" instead of "matte alpha" in the effect. I'll save your advice in case I ever do need transparency.
Follow-up: I checked my other licensed copy. It accepts .psds just fine. I checked Help About for both; they're identical: 3.2.0 (374). So the problem must be in an internal setting, an external influence, or a defective module. And remember, it's not just me, Björn in Germany reported the identical problem in June.

LR2 not auto stcking PSD files from editied Tiffs , only from edited CR2 ?

If i have a raw file, and go "edit in" to CS4 and save the edit as a PSD it imports it to the library and stackswith the raw file no problem.
But if I open a TIFF, that is also stacked to the raw, and edit that in CS4 and save that as a PSD it doesn't auto import it at all ?
Why does it only auto import PSD files when they are created from a RAw file ?

I did a bit more fiddling around with this and found out that to get it to import PSDsautomatically, when you use the "edit in" command for the TIF you need to select " edit a copy with lightroom adjustments"
If you select " edit original" or " edit a copy " it does not work. you will have to manuall syncronize the folder.
So why is this ? I can't follow adobes logic on this one.

Importing PSD files create a black line to the right of some images

I am importing PSD files into Framemaker 11 and they keep giving me a vertical line on the right side of some images. I already know that other image file formats don't cause this, but I prefer the practicality of PSD files and not having to deal with duplicate files of the same image. I figured that native Adobe files that are supposed to be cross platform compatible should work without any issues. I get lines when converting to PDF documents and when I print them out also. I’m getting ready to publish our catalog and would like to prevent the printer from cleaning them up again. Does anyone know how to fix it or if Adobe is currently addressing this issue ? Who can I contact to let them know about the issue, since it has been around from the time Frame started accepting PSD files?
Thanks,
Tomas

Hi ais007,
This is gonna sound really crazy, but this happened to me a couple of years ago. Below is the answer....hope it helps for you!
Found the answer to this in the framers digest mailout (framers Digest, Vol 71, Issue 9). Hopefully it wll help you too.
I am not sure about the Illustrator files, but for Photoshop, resize your images so that the last number is an even number. (example: change 3.25 to 3.24)
This worked for me! I couldn't believe it!

When importing a file from a folder

when importing a file from a folder it appears in the organizer as a exclamation mark but no photo. can anyone help i use elements 9

Hi there,
Digging up an old thread slightly, but is this still definitely the case? Last week double-clicking a folder definitely just opened up a folder for me to explore its contents, but now I'm constantly accidentally importing huge folders into things like After Effects and Mail... it's very annoying!
If there's a fix I'd love to hear it!

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D. Lightroom 5 won't let me. Help please!!

I am trying to import CR2 files from my canon 450D into Lightroom 5. Lightroom says 'preview unavailable for this file'. I cannot get past this. I have tried importing directly from the camera, and also from an external hard drive that I managed to download the photos onto. I am new to Lightroom so any simple suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Also I am working on a Mac. Thanks!

I have a 450D and the files open just fine in LR5.
Is this your first attempt at using LR or your first attempt at developing CR2 files?
It sounds like your raw files may be corrupted or there is some permission problem that is preventing LR from reading the files.
Can you upload one of these unrecognized files to http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to it, for others to test?
Also try copying just one CR2 file to your internal drive and see if that imports, in case there is some problem with the permissions on the external drive. Just use Finder to copy the file, not LR, in case that is an issue.

How do i import excel files from my pc to my iPad 2 numbers app

i was able to import PDF files from my PC to my iPad; however, if i try the same method to import Word or Excel docuements, the files do not import after i sync.
Successful method to import PDF files form my PC to my iPad:
open iTunes
select my iPad in devises

select file from appropriate folder in my PC
file now shows under share File sharing

I am selecting Numbers and Pages respectively
your help is greatly appreciated.

You could use Icloud to do it.
Turn on Icloud on your ipad in settings, icloud. You can have everything off if you want in icloud, but documents and data turn ON. Then on your computer go to www.icloud.com. * Click Iwork, numbers. Then just drag the files into there.
*Install the plug in if its a pc.
Thats the way I do it, so I cant walk you through the steps the other way off hand. Someone else might.

How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

Suncadia wrote:
Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look. Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
(Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail: you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..." If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
Anyway, glad that all is now sorted. Enjoy the music!

How can I import Quicken Files from a G4 to a new iMac.

I need to transfer my Quicken 2007 files from my G4 to my new iMac. My G4 is running OS 10.4 and Quicken Essentials for Mac requires 10.5 or above. My G4 cannot run 10.5. My iMac is running Lion and I've heard if I load Mac Essentials on my iMac, I won't be able to import the files from my G4. Anybody have any ideas?
I've been considering making a copy of my system and applications folders on an external firewire drive, then connecting it to my iMac. I thne plan to use the external drive as a startup disk and load Quicken essentials on the external drive. Then, once eveything is loaded, I was hoping I could copy the files and pull them over to my applications folder on my iMac. Does anybody know if that will work?

I'm in the same boat!!! Been a long Time Quicken user and they finally made the software almost un-useable. I have 2 intel laptops in the house and a G4. The intel systems are both running Lion had I known the quicken conversion software dosen't run on Lion I would have converted all my quicken backups (going back to 1997) before installing Lion.
To answer your question, what I have found out is convert all your files on Lepoard then update to lion. The conversion software that comes with Quicken Essentials will work on Lepoard. Thats how I converted mine. But last week I needed to go back to and old backup looking for some transactions and found the Lion issue. Had to boot up the G4 and load the old Quicken software to look at the backups.
Been really thinking of switching to another product.

Why can't I import video files from an external hard drive?

I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 trying to import video files from a Lacie Rugged External Hard Drive using both firewire and usb, neither with any luck. The error message I receive is:
"You're trying to import a file from a DVD or a Removable Media. Please use Video Importer for importing Videos and Image Importer for importing images. "
We can't import through the video importer either because the hard drive doesn't show up. We can, however, drag the videos to the desktop and do it that way but we'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
Thanks
