Opening PNG files in Batch Processing, Elements 9

I shoot in RAW and save my edited photos in PNG format.
If I try to use Elements 9 to batch-process of folder full of PNGs (source>browse), I can see them listed in the open menu, but grayed out. Elements says "The source folder you have selected is empty." Remember, I can SEE the list of PNG files in this view.
If I save my photos in TIFF format and put them in the very same folder, Elements will recognize them and batch-process them without any problem.
Anybody know what's going on? If any program should recognize Adobe's own PNG format, it should be Elements.
I'm running a Mac with OSX 10.6.7.

Check your settings - see my example screenshot.
The file size will be determined by a combination of the pixel dimensions, resolution and quality.
Resolution makes a big difference. 72 is fine for web use or viewing on a computer monitor but between 240 and 300 dpi is necessary for printing.

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

Pse 6 opening png files

hello, I am having trouble opening png files on my pse 6. I have opened these files on other versions of pse before, but with this new version i can't open it. The message comes up that "could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file". Can anyone help.

First go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 Paths folder
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 Settings folder
Repair permissions and try again.
if that fails, try running the installer again over the current install (I'm assuming this is an admin account where you're having the problem), only choose Repair Components when you get to that screen. If you can't do that, try uninstalling and reinstalling.

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.

When I try to open a file in photoshop CS, Elements or Lightroom I get the message "Could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document" This just started happening today.

When I try to open a file in photoshop CS, Elements or Lightroom I get the message "Could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document" This just started happening today. The only thing I have done differently is change my file handling to raw + jpeg on my Nikon 7100.

I downloaded camera raw 8.7 and I am now able to open my raw and jpeg files. Thanks

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.

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.

[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!

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.

Cannot open .png file in PhotoShop Elements 9

Hello,
I am unable to open a .png file on a PC with the following dimmensions:
Width: 4070
Height: 32305
I get the following error when I try to open to image file with PSE 9:
"could not complete request because of a problem with the file-format module interface"
The file was created on a Mac in Photoshop. However, Another employee was able to open the file on a PC in Photoshop CS.
She received the following message when she opened the file:
"The document Aplan_top5%_heatmap.png has an embedded color profile that does not match the RGB working space. The embedded profile will be used instead of the working one.
Embedded Profile: Generic RGB profile
Working Profile: sRGB Ie61966-2.1"
Can anyone explain to me why another employee can open the .png file in Adobe Photoshop CS (way older version) and not in PSE9?
Thanks for any assistance that you can provide.

If the pixel dimensions your gave are right W 4070 x H 32305,
then the document is too big for pse9.
Elements will only open documents of 30,000 pixels on less,
either width or height. In other words if the document size is greater than 30,000
pixels in width or 30.000 pixels in height, photoshop elements won't open the file.
Newer versions of the full photoshop can handle documents of 300,000 pixels.

DW won't open PNG file to edit in Fireworks

I have a complex Fireworks file inserted as part of my html page. I'm trying to edit and update it from Dreamweaver, but it will not open the file in Fireworks.
It's a png file that has been updated from an older version of Fireworks, but I've done a save-as and re-exported the slices and html, then re-inserted it into the page. It still will not open the file in Fireworks.
As a test, I created a new png file, exported it, inserted it into the html page, then tried to edit it in Fireworks. And that does allow me to edit, click done, and then the changes show up on the html page. So it's something with my original file, but I can't figure out what it might be.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Can you open images normally in Photoshop Elements? I would recommend including this information as well as which verson of iPhoto and Mac OS you are using to the Photoshop Elements forum. It might also possibly be a problem with iPhoto but the users in the Photoshop Elements forum should better be able to determine where the problem lies.

CS4 open script using Bridge batch processing

I wrote a script in CS to open a logo file (.psd) and copy it onto a photo
Since upgrading to CS4 the script will not work with batch processing in bridge. It does work in Photoshop on a single image however.
Here is my open script....when I batch process it brings up an open dialog instead of just opening the file
///CODE
var activeDoc = activeDocument;
var logoDoc = open(File("/c/stlg.psd"), OpenDocumentType.PHOTOSHOP, false);

That didn't work either :(
I was looking at the OpenDocument.jsx sample in the scripting samples directory and tried batch processing it....it opens a photoshop sample psd file and it worked...though I don't understand the code or why my code above won't work
/////OpenDocument.jsx code
//var strSamplesFolderDirectory = localize( "$$$/LocalizedFilenames.xml/SourceDirectoryName/id/Extras/[LOCALE]/[LOCALE]_Samples/value =Samples" );
//var strSampleFileNameLayerComps = localize ("$$$/LocalizedFilenames.xml/SourceFileName/id/Extras/[LOCALE]/[LOCALE]_Samples/Layer_Com ps.psd/value=Layer Comps.psd");
var fileRef = new File(app.path.toString() + "/" + strSamplesFolderDirectory + "/" + strSampleFileNameLayerComps);
open (fileRef);
fileRef = null;

How to extract data from offline PDF files as batch processing

Hello.
I want to use Adobe Interactive forms as batch processing.
For instances,
1. Users download offline PDF files.
2. Users inputs data on their local PCs.
3. Users upload these PDF files in one folder.
4. Program can read data form PDF files on that folder. and put data to ERP at night.
I' d like to know how to implement a program with Java or ABAP.
Regards.
Koji.

Hi,
It's possible to do it but first be sure that the SAP system can read the directory while your program is executed in background .
Then you have to read the content of the directory and process each file you found.
Look at this standard ABAP object cl_gui_frontend_services , you will find method for browsing a directory and retrieve list of file .
Afterwards you have to process each file , for this have a look at this wiki code sample i wrote for processing inbound mail with adobe interactive form, it should help you [Sample Code for processing Inbound Mail with Adobe Interactive Forms|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/snippets/sampleCodeforprocessingInboundMailwithAdobeInteractive+Forms]
Hope this help you .
Best regards.
