Opening a PSD file with CS4

I just download the Adobe Photoshop CS4 and ran the installing, yet I can't open any of my old photoshop docs. Is there anywhere I can't download the photoshop 6.0 ??

Does this mean you can't open photo files, or just not .psd?
Make sure you update to version 11.0.1

Photoshop CS3 shuts down after opening a PSD file with layers

Hello, I have met a problem with Photoshop CS3 (Windows XP SP2, no network printer) - after opening a PSD file with layers (saved with CS2) Photoshop shuts down. No error message.
Can some of you help me? (The only software that I have installed after Creative Suite CS3 is Corel X4. I have installed no upgrades of CS3.)

> I have installed no upgrades of CS3
You should!
Even if it doesn't help here you should.

Can't open flash/fla files (with CS4) - might be version issue

Hi,
I am trying to edit a website for a friend (built with Flash and XML) and i can't seem to get into any of the .Fla files.
I don't know if it is my version of Flash (CS4) or the files and not sure how i could test it. Could also just be a CS5 file hence i can't open it.
Any help or suggestions would be great. Please help i don't know what to do, haha.
Here is an upload of one of the files i am talking about

I wasn't sure which hosts were allowed so if i messed up please let me know.
Thanks

Hi Asher,
You cannot open a file which is saved in future version such as CS5 version in Flash CS4 .This is as designed .
If you need to open a CS5 file in CS4 , You need to save the file as CS4 file and then open in Flash CS4 .
Thanks

How can I open a psd file with layers in touch?

I want to edit a psd file with layers in photoshop touch. Is this possible?

No. (Kind of, sort of.) You can export PS Touch projects for import into desktop Photoshop and have the layers intact for further editing but you cannot do the reverse; any imported PSD will be automatically flattened. (I'm guessing this was done to prevent crashing. PS Touch supports 12 layers max vs. the potential thousands available in desktop Photoshop.)

Can't open my .psd file using CS4 windows XP & Mac OSX

I am using photoshop CS4 on windows XP I cannot open my file. the message reads: Could not complete your request because the version is not compatible with this version of photoshop.
I did open the file on my mac OSX CS4 as well to try to use some of the fonts installed there. Now the file will not open on either platform. Are there known issues with crossing platforms? I believe the files were always universal before?

There is normally no problem.
You failed to mention what format the file had.
If fonts are missing, it should still open with an error message about the font.

How can I open raw CRF files with CS4

I have just purchased the olympus M1 and I have always used photoshop CS4.

Do I have to download a plug in for CRF or is there another way

Can't open canon raw files in cs4

I recently had to rebuild my pc after a problem that stopped a few of my programs working (I'd installed xampp so I could use wordpress on the pc but it stopped cs4, firefox, video studio and a bunch of other stuff working - removal and reinstalling did no use, I had to build a new disc).
I reinstalled cs4 and got all the updates but now I find I can't open can raw files with cs4 or bridge. I tried replacing the Camera Raw.8bi file with the latest file from adobe as per their web instructions but it still doesn't work. So I tried the adobe dng convertor (version 8.3) and ran the files through that, still no luck, I can't open the files.
I could open them wwith canons own software and save as a tiff, but then I'm losing a lot of information.
I'm still running vista home premium - no I can't upgrade to windows 8.1 and use the latest photoshop and lightroom software because 8.1 doesn't work with my nikon scanner or my epson large format printer. It doesn't like a few other items I have either.
I remember I had to download a few files a couple of years ago when I first bought the pc (a whole 3 years ago) as I was having trouble with photoshop and raw files then but I can't remember the name of the file or where I got it from.
Anyone able to help? much appreciated if you can.

Hi John,
Adobe told me to replace the relevant file, which I did. The trouble is that went I do this then 'camera raw' disappears from the 'help / plugins' list and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting back other than uninstalling and reinstalling cs4, and once I do this it overwrites the files again...
I can't remember having this trouble when I first installed it a couple of years ago but I do seem to remember having to replace a file somewhere but that may have been on an earlier version.
I have an old EOS 5d mk1 & a 7d mk1, so it's not as though the camera is unknown to cs4.
Regards,
Doug

I can't open a .psd file in Illustrator CS4 after upgrading to Yosemite

I can't open a .psd file in Illustrator CS4 after upgrading to Yosemite.

Can you open any file, i.e. jpeg, etc.? Have you installed the Apple legacy Java: Java for OS X 2014-001? I'm guessing you have because you wouldn't be able to open PS at all without it. But have to ask.

I can't open the psd file I did yesterday! It says that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop.

I can't open the psd file I did yesterday! It says that the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop. I worked in a CS6 version but also tried opening in a CC but nothing happens. Help
more info:
Photoshop never crashed or anything.
I was working in my school's mac but running windows, and the file was being saved in the school's network not on the computer. I thought it had been saved and I also copy and pasted the file in my hard drive to guarantee a copy but none of the are opening.
The file size was appox. 1giga
Thanks a lot

The problem was saving over the network. Working across a network is not supported.
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'm considering buying CC LR/PS package. My camera is Sony a7 - raw ARW. I've been editing using PSE10 and ver 8.7 of the external Adobe DNG converter. Will I be able to open the DNG files in LR with the edits preserved? Will I be able to open the PSD files in LR with the edits preserved? Any import/catalog etc issues between PSE10 and LR?

Lightroom has no problem reading DNG files. Whether the edits you have done to the DNGs you have originally edited in Photoshop Elements 10 I'm not sure. ACR edits made to DNGs are saved in the DNG file itself, as apposed to a XMP sidecar file, so LR should see those edits. At the worst you will get an exclamation mark in the upper right hand corner of the imported DNGs and clicking on that exclamation mark you will get a dialog box asking you to either import settings from disk or overwrite settings. you would select import settings from disk.

Importing .psd file with transparency in Premiere Pro CS4 titler

I am trying to import a psd file with transparency into the Premiere Pro CS4 titler and the transparency will not come in. I've tried psd, png, jpeg, gif, targa and none will preserve the transparency. What I'm trying to do is create a custom lower third using a image without having to build it inside the titler or drop the PSD directly onto my timeline. This seems like an easy task, but I'm not having any luck. Please help!

Boy you guys are quick. I did not find this thread until after you'd sorted it out. You know how much I like to work on PS to PrPro problems!
Jeff,
You might want to move this thread to the PrPro sub-forum, as it will likely help others with PSD Transparency issues, and might never get seen back here.
Like you haven't been busy doing the housekeeping already. You moved one post WHILE I was replying to it. Imagine my surprise, when I replied and ended up in the other sub-forum - as if by magic!

Photoshop CS Extended can't open some PSD files

Hi,
Yesterday I have created a new PSD file and worked on it and finally saved the file, but now i can't open the file any more. PS always fails to open the file, because of an internal error.
I have tried to open some other PSD files, but 3 of 4 files (on my current HDD) didn't work to open and i don't know why. All of those other PSD files are at least 1 month old and PS could open these files. The last time i have opened these files was two weeks ago. The one PSD file, that worked has the following properties:
image: 1179x1528, 72ppi,8bit,RGB, 15,04 MB
and the files that don't work have the following properties:
image1: 454x340, 71ppi, 16bit, RGB, sRGB (profile), 1,17 MB
image2: 1280x1024, 71ppi, 8bit, RGB, sRGB, 1,92 MB
image3: 1191x1644, 71ppi, 16bit, RGB, sRGB, 12,02 MB
I have got, the meta-data out of Adobe Bridge. I can see the preview Image and the thumbnails in the open-dialog of PS. I tried to open the file with other applications like Paintshop Pro and PhotoImpact and both couldn't open them. Paintshop Pro quits, because it doesn't support the "color model".
I don't know, what else i can do to open these files. I looked around the forum but couldn't find any solution for my problem.
Does anyone know a solution for my problem ?
evangelion2100
PS: I have deleted the pref-file of PS and still it didn't work.

Dear all. After getting the same problem and read all possible solutions online with no success finally I got rid of this problem successfully and Now it is working perfectly again, and I hope It will work for you all.
Here it goes:
BACKGROUND (my case): PS CS3 installed (Premium-Extended), Win Vista 32 Bits. For months it was working perfectly until yesterday, when the app stopped when attempting opening some PSD files. Some other CS3 apps either stopped. 1st I thought it was some kind of file corruption issue.
After 3 uninstall-reinstall attempts of the whole CS3 and still troubleshooting, I went to the Vista Error Log. Regarding PS CS3 there was a DLL file named "CoolType.dll" which was suspicious to be the main cause of this ****.
Making a research, it relates to installed Fonts in Windows, that gave me the clue to all of it.
Yesterday, I installed fonts while working with PS CS3 Im now pretty sure that this process someway altered the Cooltype.dll file, or fonts were not installed properly.
SOLUTION (my case): locate and uninstall recent fonts (which may have been the problem). NOW my PS3 CS3 is working more than PERFECT!!
HOPE THIS CAN HELP. I think this topic regards some kind of failed font installation. Check it out and remember if you have modified something.

PS c24 won't open any psd files - program error

my system:
I'm running photoshop c24 extended. I've got an iMac running osx v.10.5.6, 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo, and have 2gb SDRAM
This morning (29/01/09) I installed a software updates - the iLife media browser update, iDVD update, Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update and Quicktime update. After starting my computer back up I have not been able to open any psd files in photoshop. Jpgs open all right and I am able to create new files. But, anytime that I try to open and existing psd file, it opens up and then I immediately get the following message:
"could not complete your request because of a program error."
If I click ok, the same message pops up again and again, essentially freezing up photoshop and forcing me to force quit the app.
I've tried opening up the same psd files on my laptop and they open just fine. I also tried going back into time machine to retrieve earlier versions in case the psd files I was working with in case they had been corrupted. Nothing has worked... seems to be photoshop not the files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I tried doing the "repair permissions" thing and at first I thought it worked - I was able to open a few psd files. Then I started getting the same problem again.
I don't think ilife installed any fonts - but when I tried to open a different file just now i got a message about some corrupt font files which i didn't get earlier. So I just ran a check with fontBook on all my fonts - got rid of 5 corrupt fonts and about 50 duplicate fonts.
I'm hesitantly optimistic in saying that I think that solved the problem!
thanks for the help!

I' can't open images or files with trial version of Photoshop cc

I' can't open images or files with trial version of Photoshop cc. Photoshop starts, it seems ok, but don't work.
Illustrator cc works very well. Why?

1. I open Photoshop cc Trial version
2. I click "continues with the trial version" (in italian version)
3. File>Open> psd (cs5) or jpeg files
I can't even open a new document. (File>New> etc..)
All files can be opened by Paint, Ilustrator etcc. Only Photoshop doesn't work.
I just see this

When I open a psd file in photoshop I don't see the layers. When I opened a psd file in elements the layers would show up.

When I was using elements and I opened a psd file that I wanted to re-edit the layers would be visable just as when I last closed the image. Now that I upgraded to photoshop and I open a psd file it opens with only the background layer. What am I doing wrong?

System info? Versions? Exact settings? PS only opening the merged view could indicate that the file contains data unique to Elements which it cannot interpret.
