Opening .psd Files from cs3 In CS5?
I'm new to photoshop CS5 and I'm getting this error on some PSD files "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document" and I think its because these .psd files were made/saved in CS3. So is there any way I can open CS3 .psd files in CS5?
If CS3 .psd files should open fine in CS5, then does anyone know what could be my problem? thanks!
There should not be an issue with PSD's from CS3, in CS5. There were some compatibility issues way back, but Adobe offered the ability to include that backward compatibility.
My first thought would be that there is a problem with those particular PSD files. Do they Open in PS CS3? Do they Open fine in programs, like IrfanView?
Now, if there IS an issue with CS5, someone will correct my assertions.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't open psd files from Bridge CS6
Had both CS4 and CS6 installed, CS4 Bridge added itself when I wanted just CS6 Bridge, so uninstalled CS4. Now cannot open psd files from SC6 Bridge. What do I do?.
What is Bridge doing when you try to open the PSD file? Do you get a warning, does nothing happen? Did you open the preferences in CS6 bridge and set the file opening preferences to make sure they are set to PS CS6?

Open PSD files from Bridge to Photoshop CS6
In previous version I can open psd files to Photoshop with double clicks. Now it open to QuickTime only. How can I go back to the the old way? And I don't want to "place" the file to smart objerct either.
Please help.Hi,
In Bridge cs6 look under the Bridge preferences (Ctrl+K or Cmd+K) and then under File Type Associations, where you can choose the applications to open files from bridge. -
CS3 wont open .psd files from Lightroom
I am working on a Mac in Lightroom 2.6, when I use the keyboard shortcut for open or toggle a file to open in CS3, the menus open alongside of the CS3 window but the images itself is not opening. I attempted to use the selection edit in CS3 without success also. I am able to use the selection edit in Photoshop Elements and the image opens in Photoshop Elements and I am unable to get the files/images to open in CS3. I might have struck an errant key at some time. I am about to pull what little hair I have left out. If anyone has the cure or remedy, it will save me from being bald thanks
Right-click on the psd in LR and select 'Edit in PHotoshop'.That will open it in Photoshop with its current filename or a new filename with Edit added to the end, with or without any LR edits you may have added to it.

How to open PSD files from lightroom
What's the easiest way to open a photo that was edited in LR and then passed to PS-CS3 and saved back to LR as a PSD. I can view the PSD photo in LR but then what's the quickest way to reopen it in PS to let's say make some more changes? Thanks.

Problem opening Illustrator files from Bridge
I recently installed cs5.5 and can no longer open my Illustrator files from within Bridge. When I double click on the file in Bridge, it switches to Illustrator and the hour glass appears for about 5-10 seconds before switching back to the selector tool, but the file never opens??? The only way I can open Illustrator files now, is to do the File>Open command within Illustrator.
I'm hesitant to reinstall CS5.5 because it took so long the first time.
Any suggestions??
Thanks
PaulIt only seems to affect ai files. I am able to open psd files from Bridge.
I just discovered that I am also unable to "place" ai files in InDesign. The same thing happens - I go to File>Place, find the ai file, double click the ai file, the hour glass appears for a brief moment then disappears, but the file doesn't get placed.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Having issues opening raw files from Canon 5D Mark iii in Photoshop CS5
I cannot open RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark III in Photoshop CS5. I get an error saying "
Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
Documentation seems to be no help.
Any ideas?You can download the updates manually and try to install them Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
If you can not get CS5 updated you may want to consider Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Upgrading from CS3 to CS5. Issues with old file.
I design a monthly publication, which is always started from a InDesign template. This template was originally created in CS3 and all Incopy links were created using CS3 as well.
We updated to CS5 today and now we are unable to log into those stories. Here's the error message:
"this story needs to be converted to "InCopy Document" format in order to edit it."
Should I just unlink everything and create new InCopy Documents or is there a quick way to fix this?
Thanks!I don't know, I think it's pretty quick.
Open the file in CS3.
Select all the stories in the Assignments panel (Shift-click to get them all). - 10 seconds
Click the Unlink icon (trash can) at the bottom of the panel. - 1 second
Close the file in CS3, doing a Save As w/another name if you want. - 5 seconds
Open the CS3 file in CS5. Save it, or Save As. - 20-30 seconds (depends on how big)
(Personally, at this point, even if I wasn't using InCopy, I would always export to IDML and then reopen it in ID CS5, saving the Untitled document with another name, since you're skipping a couple versions. But it's not necessary. If you do it, add another minute).
Choose Edit > InCopy > Export All Stories, 10-20 seconds, depending on how many it has to export.
The end. That's about 2 minutes, yes?

Dreamweaver has suddenly started trying to open PSD files even from Windows Explorer
All my psd files have the little dreamweaver icon next to
them now. When I try to open them either from Dreamweaver or from
Windows Explorer, I get a message in Dreamweaver "failed to open
document". I've tried changing my preferences for which program
should open psd files but that isn't working either. I can open
them from within photoshop or from within dreamweaver only if I
righ click on it and tell it to open with photoshop.
This just started but I have been using CS3 for a while now.
What am I missing?
Thanks.I found a solution but it's a pain in the .... Apparently
this is just another of Vista's many quirks and annoyances. n h c,
I tried what you said and it just wouldn't work.
I searched again on google and ended up downloading a program
called creative element power tools, which finally let me change
the file association.
Thanks for the suggestions. -
How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?
How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?
Andy,
In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
Upgrade the host program version
Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
Good luck,

Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2?
Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2? Thanks in advance!
Actually you can open a CS3 file with smart filters in CS2
the only problem is CS2 will not understand the Smart filter and flatten it.
If you leave the smart filtered object alone in CS2 save the file and it should still be a smart filtered object in CS3 -
How do I open raw files from my Canon 6D in Photoshop CS5.1?
Just tried to open raw files from my Canon 6D in Photoshop CS5.1. An error message appeared: "
Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information." Is there a simple solution?You cannot, nor will you ever be able to open your Canon raw files directly in CS5.1. Your camera model requires at least ACR 7.3 which only works with CS6, or Lightroom 4.3. There will be no further updates for CS 5.1 ever.
Your choices are (1) to upgrade to CS6, or (2) to download the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, currently 7.4, and convert your Canon raw files to raw DNG files that you can then open in your CS5.1.
You should also know that the rendering in ACR 7.4 is far superior tou the raw conversion in ACR 6.x, so you would be leaving a lot of image quality on the table if you go the (free) DNG Conversion route. -
Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
My home and office have different version each.Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems. -
Can't Open jpeg files from Bridge CS3 to PhotoShop CS3
This is really weird. I had a trial version of CS3 and bridge worked fine. That ran out, so I tried CS2 to see if I could get by with the older version. CS2's bridge worked just fine.
Then I installed a full version copy of CS3 and removed CS2 (to free up space) and for some bizarre reason, I cannot open any files from bridge into Photoshop. It's the CS3 bridge because I clicked on the Help, About Bridge and it showed CS3.
When I just click "open" under file, it tries to open with Illustrator. When I click, "open with" I get this list: Adobe Illustrator CS3 (default), Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6.00, and Paint 5.1.
I can't figure out a way to change the default to CS3, and it worked fine with the trials.
Please advise.It was a nice thought. I just did it, and associated all .jpg type files with photoshop, but no such luck in solving issue. I did figure out a way around it that kinda works, but not nearly as convenient. I drag select a group, then hold-click on the group and toggle into Photoshop, then let go. It pastes the group there. However, if I control click to select a group (or deselect within a group), I can't hold-click. So I have to do smaller groups at a time if I want to bypass certain pictures that get grabbed in a bigger group--does that make any sense at all?
