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
Jannik

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.

[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.

Photoshop Can't Open .png Files

Hey, I'm having a bit of trouble here with Photoshop CS5. When I drag & drop/open a .png picture in Photoshop, it gives me the following error:
I can open .jpeg files all good, and I'm not too sure about.gif or any others, cause I only use Photoshop mainly to do graphics and such. I did some research and other people insisted that is was a corrupted file within the Photoshop directory. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Well, Chris, I couldn't check by myself because I had a very little time in these days, too much work to do, but every kind of file have its own header as you may know, regardless of the file extension itself, so I wonder why Photoshop can't read the file header instead of the file extension, considering that file header is almost every 8byte long, so reading the first 8 bytes identify for sure the file type and then it can be handled by the specific function to view it. That's how programs usually work, extension are useful to the user to identify a file, but shouldn't be the only way a software identify a file type. Micosoft itself, that is known to be bad to user-friendly stuff, can open document with MSOffice even if they have not an extension. Mac open everything regardless of extension, Linux open everything regardless of extension.
Now, in this specific case I really don't know if the png have the right header, as I said I will check it as soon as I have time, but the above suggestion should be taken in consideration. Reading the first 8bytes of a file will not cause any performance issue, just two codes line to add (and an associative array with header->filetype to be passed to the PS CS5 function that open the files...).

Can't open .png file unzipped from an email in PSE 9

I get the following error when I attempt to open a .png file that was unzipped from an email:
"could not complete request because of a problem with the file-format module interface."
What is unusual is that another employee can open the file using Adobe Photoshop CS. I am also able to open other .png files. I was informed that this file was created on a Mac. I am using PSE 9 on XP Pro.
Any ideas to what may be causing this issue? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The OS should not make difference in this case.Try opening the same file through irfan view.

Photoshop CC shutdown when opening png file

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.

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,

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.

Photoshop can't create PNG files

Hey guys.
It's all in the title; my Photoshop refuses to create / save files as PNG. The error I get is the following:
However, I can open PNG files, and then save them. But not create the file in the first place. My information:
MacBook Pro 13' 2011
4GB RAM (2084MB dedicated to Photoshop, as I saw in the preferences)
200GB free space
Some Intel graphics card; around 350MB of VRAM or something like that.
Photoshop CS5 Extended, v12.0.4 x64
This problem has only started recently; it worked fine a week ago. I tried reinstall Photoshop twice; no luck.
I'm a web designer, so the use of PNGs is pretty much constant, let alone the fact that I'd rather not have a buggy software in the first place.
Hope you guys will be able to help me sort this out. I've tried resetting the preferences; no progress there, and now all my settings are gone...
Thanks!
Edit: Just noticed, a lot of the filters give me the same error!

Hello! Did you change something recently? More Ram, new software?
I'd also try to recreate the preferences.

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.
