  • Problem opening old Photoshop Files

    I am in CS6, OSx 10.8.3.
    I have some old photoshop files, tif, psd, jog, etc. on a CD. When I try to open them, I get an error-108 and the file disappears from the finder. I have tried to copy to the hard drive, but I get an operation cant be completed, one or more items cant be fournd error-43.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I suggest trying to read the CD in a different drive.
    CDs do degrade over time.

  • What version of Photoshop do I need on new MBP with 10.6.3 in order to open old Photoshop 7 files?

    I have been using Photoshop7 for many years on a 10.2.8 Powerbook G4.  Just purchased a MacbookPro 2.4 with OS 10.6.3.  I found out that only CS4 and CS5 will run on Snow Leopard.  I have not been able to find out if either will read PS7 files.  Has anyone had experiences with this?  I've transferred all of my PS7 files to the new computer but have yet to purchase anything to read them.  Would appreciate any help.

    Photoshop 7 stopped working with OSX version 10.5. This is not a new issue and is covered in the FAQs.
    As Chris points out CS5 is the only version for sale now and there is no upgrade path from Photoshop 7 to CS5.
    I am not trying to download the Photoshop7 program to My MBP with OS10.6.3.  I am planning to purchase the new version.  I just wanted to make sure I could open my old PS7 files with the new version of Photoshop.  PS7 was on my old Powerbook.  I only transferred the files to the new computer.

  • I have an old photoshop album starter edition and it used how do I get the files on it

    I have an old photoshop album starter edition and it used to work fine with the unlock key – now it just shuts down when the code is entered. Is there something else I can do or is there another program that will let me capture the photos that are in the files of the starter edition?

  • How do I open a VERY old (1991) photoshop file?

    Probably ancient to most, but still pertinent to me.
    I used Photoshop (on the mac) WAY back in the day. Can't remember the version, but back then, Macs had resource forks, finder.dat and stuff like that. I have a file that was amazingly 8mb in size (gigantic back then) - it had layers! And yes, I still have the resource fork files and so on.
    Still, I cannot figure out how to open it.
    I have other files from that era - photoshop says it does not recognize them, but irfanview (god bless it) opens the simple ones. But it has a header error with this one.
    Any idea on how to open ancient files like this? Any resources? I googled, of course, and the standard answer is "photoshop opens all psd files from any version" - well, this is before the mac put "psd" on these files.
    Help? Thoughts?
    Thanks.
    P.S. I was able to open it only a few years ago. 5? 7? Time flies, doesn't it. Yes, should have resaved it in a newer format. I know.

    If the file is a layered file from photoshop, then it would have to be a psd (photoshop) file as versions before 6 wouldn't save layered files
    in anything but the psd (photoshop) format.
    On a windows machine if your adding the file extension or using File>OpenAs>PSD that should work on a good photoshop (psd) file, even one from photoshop 3 on an vintage mac, but
    since infraview can't even open it, it may well be the file has been corrupted somehow.
    On a later mac you should be able to use File>Open, highlight the file in the open dialog and then choose psd.

  • How do I open an old psd. file?

    I'm trying to open a 10 year old psd. file with Photoshop CS2 and it tells me it is not a Photoshop file. What can I do to open it???

    It's most likely corrupted, damaged perhaps irreparably.  A lot can happen to a hard drive, CD or DVD in ten years, and thus to a file.
    Can you open it with any other application, such as Illustrator, Preview, Paint, etc.?  You may get lucky and be able to open the flattened composite or the embedded JPEG thumbnail preview.
    If there are no privacy concerns, you could upload the file to your favorite FTP service, or to Dropbox or your favorite free server, such as yousendit.com, and send the link to one of us who can try opening it for you.
    That way you can know for sure whether the file is toast.
    That's why backups are so important…

  • After Migration to new iMac, old Photoshop won't launch

    I used the Migration Assistant in Firewire Target Disk Mode to transfer my old Apps and files and folders from my intel Macbook to my new 24" iMac. I had to do it several times since it transferred Applications okay, and all the folders, but the folders were empty on the new machine. I finally had to drag and drop the contents of most folders. Everything seems to be working okay now except for one glaring failure. My old Photoshop 7.0.1, which was working just fine in Rosetta on the Macbook, no longer works at all. It will not even launch. I get an error message that due to an "unrecoverable error" in programming, Photoshop will close now, almost as soon as it tries to start. I have a number of other Power PC applications (even Adobe ones) of similar vintage that are working just fine. I tried reinstalling the Application entirely (still have all my old Apps!), but it had no effect on the failure to launch. I checked with Adobe and they declined to support such an old version. Any ideas on what could be causing this that I might check? Having blown all my money on the new iMac I really cannot afford to purchase a new Photoshop right now.

    Photoshop 7 is not compatible with Mac OS 10.5 and Adobe offers no fix. You'll need to upgrade.

  • "This file does not appear to be a Photoshop file"

    Ok, I used the first edition of Encore in the past, but I just installed the version that came with Premiere CS3. I used Photoshop 6.0 to do my menus in the past, but just installed the trial of Photoshop CS3.
    Two things:
    My old menus I created in Photoshop 6.0 won't import into the new Encore.
    The new menus (I opened my old menus with CS3 and saved them out.) won't import into Encore either. In both cases, Encore says:
    "This file does not appear to be a photoshop file."
    The files are indeed all photoshop .PSD files and the Photoshop 6.0 files are actually menu files that were in the same .ncor project I used on the old Encore and opened on the new one.
    Why won't Encore read these?
    Thanks!

    Bummer,
    I hoped that I had helped.
    Let's play 20 Questions:
    The PSD files were originally created in PS 6, and you have Opened them in PS-CS3, from which they were Saved. Correct?
    Did CS3 throw any error messages?
    You state that they were Menus in Encore. Which version, and did they function perfectly there?
    I assume that when used in a previous ver. of Encore, they did function, but now you have Opened, worked on and Saved from PS-CS3. What changes were made?
    Was the Color Mode, or Bit-Depth changed, or were Alpha Channels introduced?
    Has your OS been changed?
    Will these files still Open fine in PS-CS3?
    I'm trying to find the point that they ceased to Import, as they should and find out what might have changed with them. You might want to do a bit of a timeline on the life of these files, i.e. 1.) created in PS6. 2.) used as Menus in Encore2. 3.) Opened and changed in PS-CS3 by doing X. 4.) Saved out as PSDs and attempted to Import into Encore CS3 with above error message...
    Something has to have changed, and the task is to find out what that is/was.

  • Old Photoshop version download (Photoshop CS, Photoshop 8.0)

    Hello to everyone,
    i work for a small editorial company, i found out that we have some old Photoshop CS (Photoshop 8.0) licences and i want to use one of them, but the installation cds are missing.
    Is there a place where i can download the installation file? I tried on the ftp server but i cant find my version, only more recent ones.
    Thanks in advice.

    If I understand correctly, a license for Photoshop CS should entitle you to use CS2.

  • Installing old Photoshop Elements on a new computer

    I have an old version of Photoshop Elements and a new MAC. It was previously installed on my PC which crashed. But the new MAC won't let me install this software - it tells me there is an error with the install.

    OK... so this is an OLD version - it is 4.0 (2006). My MAC is running OS X Version 10.8.2. The installation begins and some of the files begin installing then it quits and the message reads: "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    Thanks

  • Import does not recognize old image files that have no extension

    Just discovered that the import facility does not see (or accept) old Mac image files that have no extension -- even if these files have a Mac "kind" that is an image such as "Adobe Photoshop file".
    You can manually add an extension to the file (and respond to an "are you sure?" dialog). Then the file will be seen and accepted.
    This is extremely dangerous (and painful to manually correct) since you think you are seeing all images in the import box, but you are not.
    In fact, I deleted huge image directories after having satisfactorally (I thought) imported them into Aperture many months ago. Most of the old extension-less files had been updated and did have extensions in later versions. However, I missed one important image and looked everywhere for it.
    By a miracle I had a backup of my image directories on a Power Book that I am retiring and finally noticed that the missing image was there just before deleting that directory too! I then figured out why this image (and many others) had not been imported. So, now I am going through manually and adding extensions.
    Does anyone know a better way -- to get Aperture to recognize extension-less images? If not, this needs to fixed in the next version as it is a disaster waiting to happen.

    Well there's an idea...probably would need to go into Bridge <g> to do that most efficiently .. or Automator.
    It turns out that I already had added extension to most (but not all) images in my main image directory and so they got into Aperture alright. I just have to go through all the images in the backup I just found (where many did not get extensions) to find the ones that Aperture missed. So far, there have been just a couple more...
    The real problem is that Aperture should not be missing these, even if they are archaic. At the very least, Aperture's import should give a warning that there are files in a folder that it is not going to import AND is not even showing. Otherwise this is a serious gotcha!

  • I get an error message saying 'An error has caused Photoshop to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available'. I have had no notification. My old Photoshop CS5 works fine, but as I'm paying for CC2014

    I get an error message saying 'An error has caused Photoshop to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available'. I have had no notification. My old Photoshop CS5 works fine, but as I'm paying for CC2014 I would like to use it. I have tried renaming the 'sniffer' file to 'snifferold' as bobmiller4002 suggested but the problem is not resolved. Lightroom works fine.

    Hi Nancy,
                 I'm not sure I have the answers to all your questions. Although I use Photoshop and Lightroom extensively, I'm not a 'techy'.
    My system;
    Packard bell imedia S2885
    1TB hard drive
    500G RAM
    Windows 8.1   64- bit
    Intel core i5 4440
    If I open Photoshop cc14 without opening any image, I still get an error message that reads: 'Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware'.
    There is also a link to the Adobe help site, but I'm not sure exactly what I should be downloading from there.  
             Thanks,

  • How to Convert Photoshop File to Illustrator?

    I have a Photoshop image file (jpg and psd) for our company that was to have been used for a label we're putting on a battery. The Photoshop image looks great, but the battery manufacturer emailed us back saying that it wasn't printing clearly on the labels. They requested it in pdf or Illustrator format. I am pretty good with Photoshop as I've been using it for years doing web design for our company's website, but Illustrator has me completely baffled. I have an old copy of Illustrator CS and I was able to open the psd file in Illustrator and convert it to pdf. We sent that to the manufacturer, but they said it still wasn't good enough. Now they want it as an Illustrator file, which I assume means they need a vector image.
    All of that leads to my question. Can a raster image from Photoshop be converted cleanly to a vector image in Illustrator? I have opened both the psd and the jpg files in Illustrator, but I really don't know what to do. I'm not sure how I did it, but at one point I increased the size of the image and it looked good, but there was rectangle shaped box that defined the original size that I couldn't get off of the image. Anyway, does anyone have any ideas? I am appreciative for any assistance.
    Tad

    This depends on how the file is built in photoshop. You can do a save as to either Photoshop .pdf or .eps to preserverve vector data, and open this in illustrator. You will have some cleanup work to do, but here is what happens:
    Shapes - you get a  vector mask in Illustrator, with an embedded image for the solid color. If you want to change the color, you should get rid of the embedded image, and drop in an illustrator color in to the mask
    Smart Objects - you get an embedded bitmapped image - you will want to edit the smart object from photoshop, copy the contents in illustrator, and paste this into you new illustrator file.
    Type - Gets converted to outlines. So the quality will be what you need, but you lose the editability. You may need to copy from photoshop and paste into illustrator, and , should you need to make type edits in the future. Many type attributes (font, size) will be retained, thanks to the pdf clipboard, btu you will need to flow these into area text boxes properly.
    So you have to take a look at your photoshop file before starting this, and do some converting items to shapes if needed, and removing layers and saving the bitmapped portion of the file as it's own .psd, that is to be placed in illustrator.
    Though 300dpi(or twice the lppi) is the typical resolution for photographs, logos adn hard edged items need to be vector so they can take advantage at the resolution of the output device (usually between 2540dpi & 3385 dpi)
