Photoshop 7 can no open .bmp files?

Hi:
When I try to open a .bmp file using the PS7 file open method with the file dialog window set for all formats, no .bmp files appear in the list of files.
If in Windows Explorer a .bmp file is selected then the right click option of open with PS7 is used PS7 gives an error message.
I've read other posts about saving .bmp files in 8 bit mode but can find nothing in the forum or manual about opening a .bmp file.
How to do it?
Have Fun,
Brooke Clarke

-------SOLUTION------
Thanks to Ed pointing to the file BMP.8BI I've found the solution.
That file was missing from the folder at:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Plug-Ins\Adobe Photoshop Only\File Formats
so PS7 could not work with .bmp files. The reason it was missing was an earlier version had a security bug. Adobe came out with a new version the top of the page looks like:
Photoshop CS2, Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop Elements 5 updates to address security vulnerabilities
Release date: July 10, 2007
Vulnerability identifier: APSB07-13
CVE number: CVE-2007-2244, CVE-2007-2365
Platform: All Platforms
Affected software versions: Photoshop CS2, Photoshop CS3, and Photoshop Elements 5.0
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-13.html
I downloaded the patch zip file for Photoshop Elements 5.0:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/security/bulletins/apsb07-13/win/ps_security_update.zip
and after unziping it moved BMP.8BI into the File Formats folder and it seems to work fine in PS7.
Have Fun,

  • 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?

  • In Photoshop CC14, can not open any files or create a new file.

    I will open photoshop (recent update and previous), and it will not allow me to open any files or create a new one. The blank screen with the tools just stays the same. Other apps such as Illustrator still work. I'm on Windows 8.1. Please help I need Photoshop for my business.

  • 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.

  • Added a Network, now Photoshop CS3 can't open the file...

    and says the file is no longer compatible. Also saya there are some unsupported blending problems. Is this a Network setting problem? It's a NETGEAR ReadyNAS +nv

    I may have found the problem.
    1. Changed the default printer settings to LOCAL - thank you
    2. Updated the video driver.
    Now the files open after being asked I want to keep them the layers- which I never had to do before.
    I still can not export using PSD2FLA driver, which is very important to me, so if you have any recommendations. The Photoshop export to Flash gives very poor quality layers.
    Thanks for the help. Hopefully I am back on track.

  • Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

    This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
    I have:
    Photoshop CS4
    Camera Raw CS4
    Canon 5D Mark ii
    I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

    Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
    After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
    I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
    I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update )  this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
    After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
    This led me to the video.
    To the point.
    Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
    open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
    Them " Preferences "
    then "General "
    Then " Plus-Ins"
    At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
    Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
    Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
    Hope this works for you as well.

  • 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

  • Can I open a file in photoshop

    I have ripped a file at my Barco station. I produced a .ct file that I want to convert to black and white in phtoshop. Can I open this file (31226A_PS08_397678_R2_S1_pdf_001_001.ct) in photoshop or do I need some sort of plugin for phtoshop before I can open it. It is a Unix Executable File

    It is possible and I found a plugin online for photoshop that made it possible. THe plugin worked great and I am now opening the Unix executable files. If you're interested in knowing the plugin reply to this message and I will send it to you.

  • 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 not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc

    hi. i can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc. (Camera RAW 6.7) can you help please?

    ACR 6.7 would be for an older product, PS-CS5 or PSE10 or PRE10.
    What does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show in PS-CC for a version for ACR and is there more than one version of ACR in the Help / About Plug-in list.  Help / About Plug-in is what I’d do on Windows; I’m not sure if the menu path is the same on a Mac or not.
