Opening .psd files in Elements

Can Photoshop Elements open .psd files created from older versions of "regular" Photoshop, including Photoshop 7.0? And can .psd files created in Elements be opened in Photoshop 7.0? Thanks.

Yes, it is possible to open psds created from other versions in the current version and vice versa.
however, if you have adjustment layers created from full versiion photoshop, thay can be opened but not edited in PSE. They come with a lock icon.

If you are saving a PSD and you want it be compatible with other versions, it is advisable to have - maxmize file compatibilty option in preferences as "always".

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.

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

Photoshop cs4 - Can't open .psd files in Bridge

I cannot open .psd files in Bridge, only .jpg and .tif, as far as I know. The .psd files are flattened--no layers. What's wrong?

Generated in PS cs4...always starting with a .jpg, working on it, then saving as .psd.
I open Bridge, navigate to the file I want to work on. The round icon that is for opening files in Camera Raw is grayed out. It IS available for .jpg and .tif files. If I go to the File menu in the upper left, there is no option to open the .psd file in Bridge. If I just click Open, the file will open in the default program I use for quickly viewing all photos (Irfanview).
Thinking also about the reply from 2.rob...
I hope I don't need to designate .psd files to always open in Photoshop in order to get this to work. I have all photo types set to Open for quick viewing in Irfanview, which I like very much. Often I want to look at a .psd file w/o opening Photoshop, which takes a while to load.

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 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?

Opening raw files in elements 10

I can't open raw files in elements 10 from my new compact canon G15 camera on my Mac OS X version 10.8.3. the message says it's unable to open this file type. Raw files do open ok from my 50D. Can anybody please help me? I purchased this version of elements 10 from apple online so have no disk to reload from.

Every camera model has its own raw format and the camera raw plugin has to be updated to work with new cameras as they appear. PSE 10 can't use any version of camera raw 7, the current version--it's too different to be compatible with it, so you would need to update PSE to be able to use 7.3. It doesn't have anything to do with mac or windows in this case. It's the same situation for either.
However, if you are considering updating you should know that there is a problem with the App Store version of PSE 11. It comes with 7.2 for some obscure reason, and the app store rules don't allow updating anywhere but from via the app store itself, which means adobe would have to submit an updated version of PSE every time there's an ACR update, something that so far they have not done, so if you do decide to update, don't buy from the App Store.

CS 6 opening PSD Files

I have Windows 8 64bit and CS6. I cannot open PSD files in camera raw from Bridge or Explorer.
Any suggestions please

ACR opens raw, JPEG or TIFF files if set this way under the assumption that those files come from a camera. It doesn't open PSD files since this is a processing format.

Cannot open CR2 files in Elements 7

Hi,
I'm trying to open CR2 files in Elements downloaded from my Cannon 50D camera. Message says it's the wrong type of file. I've updated all the plugins, downloaded 5.4 and follow as many forums as possible but still no luck.
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks
Mark

Where do you get the error message? When you import a raw file into the Organizer, or when you try to edit it?
In the Editor, do Help > System Info. What is the version shown for "Camera Raw"? Is more than one version shown?

The 650D wasn’t supported until ACR 7.2 that was released the beginning of October 2012.
Adobe only updates ACR for their current version of Elements, which is PSE 11, not 10.
So you’ll either need to update to PSE11 or use the DNG Converter 7.2 to convert your CR2 files to DNGs and open them in the older version of ACR.

Another alternative would be to get Photoshop Lightroom which doesn’t cost a lot more than Elements and will give you more raw processing capabilities, and you’ll still be able to do Edit in Photoshop Elements for any pixel editing with your older version of Elements:
