  • Photoshop CS5 unable to open for edits from Lightroom 3

    Have been experiencing numerous issue with the new LR and Photoshop not playing nice with each other on my Mac Pro w/10.6. Photoshop CS5 is will open in 1 attempt out of 8, and won't open from LR for editing purposes (it did once). Have been using in 32 bit mode to accommodate NIK and Topaz filters. I have reinstalled three times so far. Anyone got any ideas?

    Try deleting the prefs folder for Photoshop. Mine was doing something like this where it would not open the image inside
    of CS5 when you right click on the image and try an "open with". But it would work from the menu, most of the time. The cost is having to recreate custom settings inside Photoshop but since my CS5 was a new install as was LR3, it did not matter to me. It did require a reboot for the new preference file to fully take effect.
    From Adobe's own workaround
    5. Re-create the Photoshop preferences files.
    Re-create the Photoshop preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.
    Note: Re-creating the Photoshop preferences file restores settings to their defaults.
    To re-create the Photoshop preferences file:
    Quit Photoshop.
    Rename the Users\[username]\Library\Preferences\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp folder to Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.old.
    Start Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp file.
    If the problem continues, then the Photoshop preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, quit Photoshop, then delete the new Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp file and restore the original name of the previous Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp

  • Photoshop CC: unable to open Raw files from Canon T1i

    I am trying to edit photos in the raw CR2 format I took with my Canon T1i.  I cannot get the new Photoshop CC to open them.  I think I need a plug in to do this but cannot find out where to download the plug in.  Please send a link to the plug in 5.4 for windows and how to download it so i can finish editing the photos I have.  Thanks!

    The Canon T1i has been supported by Photoshop since Photoshop CS4 (via an upgrade to ACR 5.4).
    The Adobe Camera Raw plugin has been able to read T1i Raw files out-of-the-box in Photoshop since CS5.
    Something else must be happening.
    raw CR2 format I took with my Canon T1i.  I cannot get the new Photoshop CC to open them.
    What happens when you try? Any error messages?

  • Downloaded photoshop, now unable to open it

    I bought the student edition of photoshop off Adobe, and it all installs fine, however when I go to open the programme, the usual photoshop picture doesn't appear, and I double click it and the message 'You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 because it may be damaged or incomplete'
    Although it's self explanatory, i have done nothing to interupt the download.
    please help.

    Hi,
    I suggest contacting Adobe Support so that a representative can take you through the troubleshooting process.
    You can contact support from this link : Contact Adobe Support
    On the support page, click on "I am having trouble downloading or installing my software"
    Then select "I am trying to use a single user product I bought from Adobe or another merchant".
    You will then have the option to chat with a support representative. You will also have the support numbers listed to the right in case you wish to call support.

  • I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

    I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
    I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop.  I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG.  Is there a way to use

    I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3.  When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files.  I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file.  I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud.  I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible.  Can anyone advise me what to do?

    The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Some options:
    Upgrade to CS6
    Join the Cloud
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

  • "unable to open project file" after importing layered Photoshop file

    After spending a day of work, I saved and closed my 720p project. Today, I can't open it. I get a message saying: "Unable to open project file." Same thing happens with the auto-saved copy.
    I have narrowed down the problem to this: I made a new 720p project file. Without doing any work, I import a single layered Photoshop file (.psd), then save and close the project. When I try to open it, I get the message again: "Unable to open project file."
    Works fine at home. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    PPJ

    I'm just now having the same problem, though I'm using FCE 3 . I can open older (NTSC) files. Just not new HD files that I have also blindly used alpha+Photoshop layers in. When I create a new HD file with a few HD clips in it and even use an audio track from the project I'm wanting to make, and use TIFF versions of the graphics and save it, it will open right up -- but something about these PS files.

    I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

    In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
    Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
    Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
    thx for any input

  • "Unable to open a virtual memory file" and "Unable to initialize Photoshop" errors

    Hi
    I installed Photoshop CS6 64-bit on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.
    When it starts, these two messages are displayed:
    Unable to open a virtual memory file because the file is locked. You do not have permission or the file is being used by another program. ...
    Unable to initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. You do not have permission or the file is being used by another program. ...
    How come?
    Thanks
    Bye

    In other words, I have installed Photoshop CS6 64-bit (using the default directory) on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.
    My computer has 4 GB of RAM and a virtual memory file of 6644 MB.
    When it starts, the two above messages are displayed also with an account of Administrator type?
    How come?

  • Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6

    Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6
    I am running PS6 and want to open and edit AVI files. When I try to do that I get an error message saying "the video file cannot be opened" . This seems to apply to ALL avis - yet I can open and edit MP4, MMV etc. I installed Gspot to track whether it was a codec issue and when I try to open ANY file I get this error message : "Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.  This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers.  It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow.  GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.  The codec was tentatively identified as:  C:\Windows\system32\imaadp32.acm Unknown video codec #11" I have NO idea where to go from here. I see a site to download the "imaadp32.acm"  codec but what about the "Unknown video codec #11". What the heck is that and what do I do about it. Any help would be appreciate, Cliff
    ps I should add that the avi files DO open and play in Bridge. I have the latest Quicktime. Everything is up to date and PS and the computer is otherwise working perfectly !

    Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
    I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
    I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
    No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
    Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
    Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

  • I am unable to open my own pdfs in Photoshop

    I am unable to open my own pdfs in my Photoshop (ones that I have created in same Photoshop). Can anyone advise?
    I get the message "This is not a valid Portable Document File (PDF) document. It cannot be opened."
    I have to keep recreating the art...ugh!! Is there a way to pull up history to replicate my artwork until I get this resolved??

    History (as indicated in the History Panel) is deleted when closing a file.
    Photoshop > Preferences > General > History Log could be used to get a list of performed steps, but this is not directly executable.
    ScriptingListener.plugin can be used to record operations, but not everything in Photoshop is recordable thusly.
    As for the issue with the pdfs:
    Which settings do you use exactly when saving pdfs?
    Is there a chance the drive you save to is faulty?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Unable to open scanned Kaiser Baas jpeg files in Photoshop Elements 6

    Could you see whether Firefox will start in its Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    Here's how:
    With Firefox closed, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox.
    A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Does that work?

  • Unable to open CR2 photos in Photoshop CS3.

    I am unable to open some very important wedding CR2 files in Photoshop CS3. What specific updates do I need to fix this? The raw photoUns were shot on a Canon 70D. The photos were shot in low lighting so I shot in a large format that I don't typically use. I feel that I have tried several updates available through Adobe but have been unsuccessful.

    No, no, no!  Don't do that.    Older versions don't even support your camera.
    The DNG Converter does not work on files, it won't even see them.  It works only on FOLDERS.  Do not point it at the files but at the FOLDER(s) that contain said files.
