Open png

Why can't photoshop CC open PNG?  Does it matter being a trial version?

It is also possible the png file is corrupt or some other program is accessing it. Have you tried opening the file in another program?

  • Can't open PNG files in Photoshop CS5...??

    I'm seeing lots of threads with this problem but none of them seem to have an answer.
    For some reason right now when I try to open a PNG file in Photoshop it just crashes.  I end up with a neverending "hour glass".
    I had all of my website project directories on a network share.  As I'm no longer sharing all of these files with an office of people I decided to move all of these project files back to my own local machine.  Ever since I've done that I can't open PNG files in Photoshop anymore.
    Any information on what could have caused this, or more importantly, how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I was able to edit PNG files just fine up until today, and the only thing I've done is move the files from the network share to my local hard drive.
    Any PNG, large or small won't work right now.  All of the other threads I see where people are talking about this say it's happening with their GIF files, too.  I just tried one here and the same thing happened.  From within Photoshop I did File -> Open, browsed to my image directory and the moment I clicked on one of the GIF files it locked up.
    So yeah, I'm certain it's isolated to my machine right now.  I just have no idea at all what could possibly be causing this.  The other threads are mentioning netework shares, too, but usually still trying to open over the network.  In my case it was working fine when I did it over the network, but now that I'm opening local files it's failing.

  • Can't open PNG files in PS CC

    Hi.
    I can't open png-files in PS CC. The following error message appears (Translated from Swedish): Can't fulfill your request because it's not the right type of document/file type.
    Can anyone help me with this, please?
    Thanks

    Okay I have gone over some common problems. I don't know what else it might be.
    Google "photoshop will not open png"  and see if there are some answers we might have both missed.

  • Photoshop CC can´t open .PNG files?

    I can´t seem to open .PNG files with Photoshop CC.
    Looking around the net for answers i found out that resetting your Photoshop preferences might be able to solve the probem.
    This unfortunatly creates a new problem, how do i reset the preferences in Photoshop CC? - all the guides/tutorials i found was for CS6 or older versions.
    So how do i solve this problem?
    Best regards

  • PS CS4 crashes when trying to open PNG files

    I am using a freshly installed CS4 on a freshly installed Mac OS 10.6.3. No extra filters, nothing.
    Now: whenever I export a PNG file from Illustrator via "Save for Web" and then try to open it in PS, the app crashes (endless beachball delight).
    The same happened with a GIF file from AI. Only JPEG files work. Is this a recurrent problem and, if yes, why?
    When I do the same at home with CS3, everything is fine.

    Meanwhile, I get a spinning beachball in any CS4 app whenever trying
    to open or save files, so I suspect a network issue (I'm on a large network).
    To your question: I'm trying to open a file in PS which I created in AI. This is quite common practice. Open, paste, place or whatever. It's all the same result.
    I already did the basic system maintenance. I don't think trashing prefs will be of any use as the same problem now also occurs in Fireworks and AI.
    Update: I localized the problem to either the network or the external Firewire drive I use for Time Machine. It's from the infamous LaCie brand and has already caused trouble with the finder.
    2nd update: When the network and the drive are disconnected, all open and save problems go away *but* the one with opening PNGs in PS when they were created in AI.

  • CS5 Suddenly Stops Saving and Opening PNG & GIF Files

    CS5, windoze 7, 64 bit.
    Inexplicably, CS5 just stops working with PNG & GIF format files.
    Fine, this morning; but not after lunch! Indigestion?
    Bridge says it's missing a/the java plug-in. Huh? Java is up to
    date at OS level.
    Very puzzling. Anyone got a fix for this?

    Kind of you to reply and offer assistance - thanks.
    First, I'm inquiring for my wife. I.e. I'm not the user. She's not all that comfortable with using Forums.
    I use Photo Impact - now part of Corel, as I understand it.
    She says she can't open or save those formats, as she used to be able to. But she can open PNGs
    in Illustrator.
    The bridge error message is generated on clicking bridge, when no other task is running:
    Adobe Photshop CS5 Extended
    Could not complete your request because
    Photoshop was unable to find the javascript
    plug-in.
    The mini bridge also gives an error message when clicked on, with no other task is running:
    Adobe Photshop CS5 Extended
    Cannot complete command because the
    extension could not be loaded.
    She reports that a lot of Save As options have disappeared. If this was Photoimpact, I'd be
    checking the FIO folder for the necessary fio files, but I don't know how PS manages the
    way in which various file formats become interchangeable for saving/opening. What that
    has to do with bridge, I know not. I don't know the first thing about PS.
    That said, chronologically, the problem seems to have occurred after the installation of
    a number of pre-sets. That makes me suspicious of them. Or rather, the installation
    process that they involved. But I don't know for sure, nor do I know how that installation
    of presets process might be reversed, to check if that caused the problem. (see below)
    Oh, she has executed an update, but that didn't fix the problem either.
    If there's no easy way to achieve a remedy to the problem, I'm contemplating doing a system
    restore. She's presently moving (backing-up) those pre-sets before any roll-back is attempted.

  • Photoshop won't open .png files

    I had a trial version of Illustrator on my computer and when I went to open a .png file in Photoshop, it automatically opened it in Illustrator. Since I don't know enough about Illustrator to move the open .png file from AI to PS, I deleted the trial version. Now the .png doesn't open in anything but Paint. It doesn't give me the opportunity to browse for other programs to open it with. How do I get it to open in Photoshop again, please? Thanks very much for your help.

    That didn't solve it for me. Trying to open a PNG file, with PS association, I got: "file-format module cannot parse the file."
    I installed a PNG plug-in. It didn't help.
    I created the file, but don't have much control over it; it's from a web cam.

  • Opening .png image through Bridge

    Could not open .png image through Bridge CS-6Beta.  Message said there was a missing application.  Can open same file directly in Photoshop CS-6Beta.  Windows7.

    I have no problem opening Bridge CS-6 (x64) by itself.  In Bridge, I can see the .png image but when I double click on it, I get an error message that ImageReady.exe is missing.  However, If I right click on the image and select "Open with Adobe Photoshop CS-6", the file opens normally.

  • How do I open png files and maintain transparency?

    How do I open png files and maintain transparency?  I have many image files I had hoped to manage with aperture along with my photos.  I find that it wants to display them with a black bacground( they were designed for white) and when I want to edit that is kept even when I open with a psd format.  What do I do?
    Thanks

    and when I want to edit that is kept even when I open with a psd format.  What do I do?
    Transparency and layers are not supported in Aperture. You can import png-files or psd files with a transparent background and export the originals unchanged, but as soon as you edit them, the transparent background will be lost.
    Aperture is an application to manage photos and not graphics compositions, sorry.

  • Can't Open .png Fiies

    I have just upgraded to a new iMac and have transferred all my files, settings & applications from my old iMac. The old machine had MAC OS X 10.4.11 and the new machine has 10.5.5
    Everything went perfectly except I can't now open .png files in Photoshop CS2 version 9.0.2. I get the following error message, "....Photoshop does not recognise this type of file"
    Has anyone had the same problem?

    I have just realised the I now only have 4 Plug-Ins listed under "About Plug-In" in Photoshop but on my old machine there must be about 100 listed. How do I transfer all of these?
    Thanks

  • [SOLVED]Gimp can't open png files

    Hi,
    since couple of days Gimp throws me an error when trying to open png files:
    GIMP Message
    Opening '/home/kleskjr/Documents/docs/kopenhagen/visa_ping.png' failed: Failed to run plug-in "file-png"
    GIMP Message
    Plug-in crashed: "file-png"
    (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-png)
    The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.
    I am using gimp-devel from the AUR.
    Is there somebody experiencing similar problems?
    cheers!
    Last edited by kleskjr (2013-05-08 13:53:05)

    There was an update to libpng, and all aur packages that depend on it (such as gimp-devel) must be rebuilt.
    Eh ... if you really wanted to know if someone else was experiencing similar problems, you would have looked at recent threads on these forums - and if you had done that, you would have seen much activity relating to libpng.

  • Unable to open PNG, save for web, and missing half of the format options under save as.

    Using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit with SP1.
    When using Photoshop CC 64-Bit, i am unable to save for web, open PNG, or save as for about half the format options. I don't have any additional plugins installed, nor have I messed with the plugins folder.
    When trying to open PNG files it says: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
    Photoshop CC 32-Bit works without any of these issues. I'll be switching to 32-Bit until this is resolved. Hoping I don't have to uninstall/reinstall (Install files are huge and take forever to download and I don't know how to save them to the hard drive with CC, thanks).
    Chris

    Sounds like you are missing some of the required plugins - possibly an updater failed, or someone moved/deleted the wrong directory.
    Yes, you'll need to reinstall to restore the missing plugins.

  • How to open PNGs within Safari

    Ok so I've noticed lately that whenever I try to view a full size PNG image, Safari downloads it and opens it in Preview, I'd rather just view it within the broser Like I do with JPG and GIF images. does anyone know how to get it to open up in the browser? (Also if possible can it not open with Quicktime, I like to be able to view it at 100% and not just the size of my browser window)

    Safari should only download a PNG file rather than display it when clicking on it if it was setup as a download and not a viewable image, or if you specifically chose to download it. Either way, Safari does support PNG files.
    Once it downloads, have you tried a Get Info on the image file and used the Open with: dropdown menu to choose Safari as the default application, then clicked the Change All button below that to make it the default for all files of that type?
    QuickTime will also open PNG files, and this can be set from System Preferences, > QuickTime > Advanced section. Click on the MIME Settings… button, then the disclosure triangle next to Images - Still image files, and check the box next to each file type you want QuickTime to open for you. Be sure to change the default application for those file types to QuickTime.
