Offline File | Zero KB CRW's | "Photoshop does not recognize this file"

The first symptom was when I got the dialogue "The file named "CRW_0004.CRW" is offline or missing. I located the file using spotlight only to get a "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." when trying to open it in photoshop. Upon closer inspection I found that the CRW file was 0KB. I searched for 0 KB CRW & CR2 files to find thousands of files. Heart sinks.
I recently started using lightroom to import and organize all my files. Now it seems something has gone gravely wrong. Any ideas?
Intel iMac 2core
OSX 10.5.7
LR 2.4
Camera Raw 5.4

…and just before I ran the utility I did an export and got a warning that 18 files were offline or missing and 1.file doesn't exist. But once I tried to Right Click>> show in finder and went through the relocate dialogue LR immediatly found the file. Reattempt to export files from "Photos that failed to export" folder went flalessly.

"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"

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.

So what type of files are they?!

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.

I have Photoshop CS3 which I have used successfully for a number of years. I now shoot pics with a Nikon DSLR D7100. When I try to open NEF files the following flag appears: "Could not complete your request because PS does not recognize this file". What do I need to do to open my NEF files?? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, CP
FYI, the file is a photographic panorama based on several .CR2 photos taken in July, 2012 and processed in CS5's camera RAW/Photoshop. Beyond the metadata, here are no fonts or text in the file.
1. I changed Maximize ...File Capability from "Never" to "Always" and the flattened file saved and loaded OK, though I can't figure why given Adobe's description of this option. "If you work with PSD and PSB files in older versions of Photoshop or applications that don’t support layers, you can add a flattened version of the image to the saved file...". The file saved in this manner is ~8% larger and is not my preference as a routine since I've TB's of photo files. By the way, out of thousands of .psd/.psb files, the one being discussed is the first to give me the error.
2. I've tried saving/reloading the file on another computer with Win XP Sp3/CS5...again with Maximize Capability OFF. Same problem. Turn ON Maximize Capability and it works. As with the Win 8 machine, Bridge could neither create a thumbnail or read Metadata.
3. I've purged the Bridge Cache, made sure there were no old PS page files, reset PS preferences, and disabled my 2 plugins with no change in the problem. Windows and Adobe progs are all updated. Saving to a different HDD has no effect.
The problem occurs on 2 computers (Win XP/Win 8), two versioins of Photoshop (CS5/CS6), and "Maximize" On/Off togles the problem. My guess it is a bug in PSD processing routines.
If I can't find a fix, will keep with Maximize ON and deal with the larger files that result...the cost of insurance, I suppose.
Thanks again

Downloaded photoshop CS6 to my new iMac. Opened photoshop but can't bring in a photo from iPhoto - get message that says photoshop does not recognize this type file. Suggestions?

I donwloaded photoshop CS6 to my new iMac. Opened photoshop but cannot openn a photo from iPhoto library - I get a message that says cannot complete our request becausse photoshop does not recognize this type file.

You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

HT2128 I need to open a firmware update to my rinter and Photoshop 'does not recognize this firle' is what I get. what can I do? J. dunn

I need to download some firware update from the internet. Photoshop says it does not recognize this file and will not open it. what should I do??? thanks, Judi

I downloaded a Lexmark firmware update file for a color laser printer, just to see what it contained.
It downloaded as a .zip file.
I double-clicked the .zip file to un-zip it. (Sorry, I'm not sure which program actually did the unzipping.)
Once unzipped, it contained several files for multiple operating systems, including Windows and OS X.
Double-clicking on the PrinterFileLoader.dmg should start the installation on your Mac.
Opening the README Updating firmware.pdf file and selecting the Mac section revealed:
*There were additional images on this page that I couldn't capture with a screenshot.
Your firmware update README file should contain similar information.

Updated camera raw plug-ins and now photoshop does not recognize ANY files and I can no longer edit in photoshop from lightroom. What happened?

I don't know what happened, but ps6 is no longer working. The window is there, etc., but cannot pull in files to work on. I am on MAC. Help?

I have the same problem. Any solutions?

Trying to download catalog.buc from old pc that died Does not recognize this file in photo 12 ?

My pc died. We copied my catalog from it. Want to download it. It will not.

You seem to be referencing Elements 12, not Photoshop proper, since there is no "catalog" in Photoshop.
Unfortunately, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you want:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements/content
Keep this in mind for all your future posts too. You do not have Photoshop, you have Elements. These are two separate applications with different forums, and different, totally independent engineering teams.
Few users in this forum are familiar with Elements.

Organizer (PSE 8) does not recognize DNG files

I recently upgraded to Elements 8 for Windows. Although I can load DNG files in to Editor, work with them and save them, the Organizer says it does not recognize this file type and will not load DNG files. In Windows Explorer, I had to associate my DNG files (I use XP) as being an Adobe Elements file so the install program clearly dropped the ball. Did not have this problem with Elements 7. Organizer recognizes my Camera RAW files just fine.

I am able to get DNG files in PSE Organizer 8.0 and didnot see any issue.
Could you restart your system and see if it works!

I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files. I am stumped.

If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

I think in your situation it would be worth trying the things listed under the event. It does have to do with FRS and it's easy to do. I've used it to fix journal errors after a server unexpectedly restarts and sysvol stops replicating. I
could see where it could fix your issue, and if it doesn't, you're out 5 minutes. :)

Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Any help is appritiated!
