'not a valid photoshop document' when I try and overlay an image on photoshop.. help!!!

I downloaded jpeg files from google drive. As far as I know they are not corrupted and when I used them on the newest version of photoshop they worked. What I am trying to do is place images next to one another. Everytime I try and do this a notice comes up saying 'it is not a valid photoshop document'. I have tried changing the jpg to photoshop format pdf and also opening them as photoshop files - I dont know what else I can do and my photography deadline is tomorrow for my final edits!
PLEASE HELP

Without having access to the file that you are working with I would not know how to help. There can be many factors involved that are giving you grief. Are you on PC or Mac? There are many here that are more savvy with the nuances and problematic issues with Ps than I. If you wish to send me one of the files I can give it a try on my setup and see what happens- [email protected]

  • Photoshop crashes when I try and save for web and devices. Making the image size smaller does not help.

    I'm trying to make a lopping .gif from an animation that I made. It's 147 total frames. It's crashed about 6 times now every time I either try and Save for Web or even just save the document on my desktop so in case it crashes I can reopen PS and recover it. Making the image size smaller (original size is 1920 x 1080 with resolution 72) does not help, it still makes the *ding* error when I attempt to save. I made the image more than half of the original size and the Save for Web box actually came up that time, but when I tried clicking save it said there was an error and PS crashed without warning.

    Look at the crash report for your Photoshop crashes see what they show

  • Error message "Not a valid Win32 application" when I try to install

    I have downloaded the setup software several times but I cannot get any of it to load. I get the message that it is not a valid Win 32 application. I am running Windows 7. I have no problems with Thunderbird on other machines. There are no help paragraphs anywhere in your system that address this issue - at least not using the available public index.

    if the installer is not valid, it will be because it has been corrupted in the download process. Usually by an over helpful anti virus program. As the installer is basically a 7Zip executable some corporate system will not allow the executable to run as it contains a ZIP file.

  • Re: what causes an error "not connected to the internet" when I try and e-mail photos

    I'm having the same problem with my PhotosmartC3180.  When I try to e-mail photos I get a "not connected to the internet"  message despite having a web page open at the same time.  I run the Print & Scan Doctor and it says everything is running perfectly.  Conversely, I cannot see how to save a photo at e-mail quality and I don't want to cut and paste huge pictures that will slow down the receiver's e-mail. Thanks in advance,  Wayne

    Hello WayneSchlapkohl,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are looking to Email a scanned photo, but do not want the file to be to large. Are you using HP software when you get the error "not connected to the internet" ? If so, What is the Operating System installed, Windows, including version, e.g. Windows 7 or Mac, including version, e.g. 10.8?
    Lowering the DPI or resolution will help keep the file size down, if you have an option for that in the software.
    Also, what is the Email client are you using, MSN, Gmail, etc?
    Cheers,
    JERENDS

  • What causes an error "not connected to the internet" when I try and e-mail photos

    I have an HP printer and trying to e-mail photos and get message "not connected to the internet" I can go thru the entire process but when I go to e-mail..this is the message i get..I'm not using a HP computer and have Comcast...any help would be appreciated...also is there anyway  to upload them to some other photo site?

    Hi 123sd,
    Thank you for the response. Your last post has me a bit confused so I need to ask some further questions:
    Which printer do you have? The Officejet J4500 printer or a Photosmart printer? If you have a Photosmart printer, which one do you have?
    How is the Photosmart printer connected (USB cable or wireless)? If you have the printer connected wirelessly, have you tried setting a manual IP address and manual DNS servers? If not the steps can be found in this post which also has screen shots. Please don’t worry the screen shots are for a Photosmart 7510, the steps are the same.
    Have you enabled the web services on the Photosmart? Please press the ePrint icon on the front panel of the printer. If it asks you accept the terms of service, then web services is off.
    Where are the photos located that you want to email (memory card, mobile device, computer, etc)?
    Are you trying to use the scan to email feature?
    Thank you and I’m sorry for misunderstanding.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

  • Have Photoshop 11, When I try to save 1st image the whole program locks up.  Can't even shut down program.

    I open a photo, do adjustments and try to save as usual.  Entire program locks up.  Cannot shut down on own.  Windows error box says an element of the program is not working.  Have to shut down using error box. 

      The editor prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
    Hold down the Cmd+Opt+Shift keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or go to applications and hold down the three keys whilst double clicking on Photoshop Elements Editor application.
    You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way - then wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.
     

  • I get an error message when I try to save my images in Photoshop CS6

    I get an error message when I'm trying to save my images.  It reads as follows:
    "Could not save because file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions or another file is using it"
    The file is not locked (I unlocked the image as a layer), I am the administrator, and it wasn't being used elsewhere.
    This has happened with all the images I've worked on in the past 90 minutes.  Has anyone got a solution?   I've never gotten this message before

    Check that you actually have write permissions on the drive you are trying to save to.  They can an do get changed.

  • I have photoshop 7.0 which has stopped working on my computer. When I try to open an image in Photoshop it gives me an error message saying the image is damaged or corrupted. I can open the same image in other image programs.

    Can anyone help me. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but nothing helps. I can not afford to spend money on a new program.

    First step: update Photoshop to 7.0.1.
    Second step:  provide sensible information:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • Gargoyle https router logon not working after version 27, when I try and logon it just says the connection was reset. works fine with 27.0.1 must be a bug

    I use a Gargoyle quota management router which has web access through https. It works fine with Firefox version 27.0.1 , and has worked for years with no problems. Somewhere after version 27.0.1 a bug was introduced which prooduces the error message "Problem loading page, The connection was reset, The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" each time I go to the routers address. Reverting to 27.0.1 fixes the problem and it also works fine with Interney Explorer so it is not a firewall problem.

    HI techman88,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that the password for your router is no longer working in Firefox 27. Please download the new version of Firefox from your working browser and reset the profile.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    To reset Firefox go to about:support and and click Reset Firefox. However if there is a saved password in this profile you can manage the passwords under Options > Security> Passwords. Please check this out as well.
