Photoshop CS - Images don't open properly

There's seems to be a 'bug' in Photoshop pertaining to Opening New Files. If there's an Older version of a PSD on a drive & a NEWER version is saved into the same drive, the GA trying to open the Newer version cannot see it through Open. But someone on another Mac can open it without any problems.
When this happens, Photoshop has to be Quit & Re-started. Then the New file can be seen & opens correctly.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a Photoshop problem or does it somehow pertain to OSX? Are there any plugins or updates to solve this problem?
thanks

    You could explain what "not opening properly" means.

  • Images won't open properly after an upgrade.

    I upgraded today from cs5 to cs6 and my images won't open properly only a small portion of the image is visible.  How do I fix this?

    What software have you upgraded?

  • Images don't send properly

    Starting since yesterday, I've been having trouble every time my friend tries to send me an image file.
    For any other file (such as .txt) the thumbnail on skype comes up,  I click the download button, it asks me where to save it and what to name the file, the progress wheel starts going, and the file transfers as it properly should.
    However, whenever my friend sends me an image file (We've tried with numerous different formats such as jpg, png, all of them are affected) the thumbnail comes up, but as soon as I click the download arrow icon, the icon just dissapears and gives no indication what's happened, or any option to select the name or where its saved to. If I click the image it opens in my image program, but it's name has been changed from what my friend sent to something in the format of
    ^a huge string of alphanumeric characters^pimgpsh_fullsize_distr.[jpg/png/ et al]
    additionally, whereas with any other file I can right-click and select "show in folder", images don't offer that option when right-clicked in skype
    I've extensively experimented with the ims sending options, trying to see if changing it to a fixed destination folder or auto-accepting but nothing's changed where they're saved. I finally managed to find the file path and found they're being saved to:
    C:\Users\The\AppData\Roaming\Skype\Name#\media_messaging\media_cache
    I just tested going the other way with my friend and he has the same problem now too.
    The closest thing to a 'solution' my friend and I have found is to .zip the images before sending them. How do I change it back so that I can pick where incoming images are saved to and what they're named?
    I'm on version 7.0.0.102 of skype on Windows 7 32bit
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you right click on the in-line thumbnail to save it then you will get the original unmodified .jpg  or .png file.  It's a cache folder so they could technically call it what they want even if they don't follow the normal file extension standard and file type.  I can rename my picture files all day long to a supported file type and a majority of image viewers won't bark about the extension being wrong before displaying the image.  You could see if Irfanview has an option to disable the warning or switch to another image viewer like the default Windows image viewer, photo gallery, Microsoft paint, or even Adobe Photoshop which probably won't issue a warning as well for a few of the major file type extensions.  In the end all you are viewing is a full size thumbnail which is the closest to the original image if you choose not to right click on the thumbnail and save the image with the original filename and type.

  • Cs1 drawings don't open properly in cs4?

    Drawings I made in cs1 won't open properly in cs4? I just get a message which says the program can't read this illustration and then I have only parts of the image. They still work in cs1 normally. The problematic parts of the image had a gaussian blur and transparency, but even when I delete these effects still I can't open them in cs4. Any ideas anybody?

    That's a very good thought about the spot color libraries they have been updated by at least Pantone.
    Did you try to place the file in a new empty ai document sometimes placing strips the fie of unnecessary codeit seems.
    If that doesn't work try placing or opening in Photoshop saving it as a psd (if the layers survive and placing or opening that in Illustrator.
    Or save it as .ps or rather print it as a .ps file from AI CS2 and opening that in AI CS 4 , you might have to distill it first. The postscript will look right but you will not be happy with the result.

  • Canon EOS D60 CR2 raw images don't open in Photoshop.  Why?

    I know this question has been asked many times but I couldn't find a thread with an answer.  I have just taken my first images with my Canon EOS D60 (upgraded from 1000D) and find that the CR2 raw images aren't recognised by Photoshop.  I remember I had this issue when I first had my 1000D but cannot remember what I did.  I have CS4 V11.0.2 and tried to update Camera Raw but it says no updates are available.  I have Lightroom 3 and that opens them ok but not Photoshop.  Sorry .... but can anyone tell me again what the problem is?  Thanks. :-(

    You can get support for the latest cameras in CS2, CS3 and CS4 through our FREE DNG Converter:
    Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4923
    Win: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4924
    There are other benefits to using DNG besides backward compatibility if you haven’t explored those:
    The metadata, keywords and RAW adjustments are stored in the file – along with a processed preview of the image. This makes the file portable and keeps your metadata safe and secure.
    DNG files are smaller than the original RAW file which will save you disk space and time in the long run.
    DNG is an openly specified file format which means the file format isn’t going away. So if you use another RAW processor that supports DNG, you don’t have to worry about compatibility or portability of your metadata.

  • 3.1 Bug? - Images don't display properly after upgrade to 3.1 from 3.0

    When pages are displayed after the upgrade, the image appears the first time the page is opened. Once a user goes to another page, then come back to the page with the image, the image is no longer displayed.
    This happens when the browser is set to "Check for newer versions of stored pages". When it checks for the new version, the image is not displayed.
    This looks like a Bug? Is someone working on a fix for this?
    Thanks.

    Scott,
    Thanks for this information. It is very helpful. May I put you through one last contortion, please?
    I would like to see what information is being passed in the HTTP header in the request for one of these broken images. If you have Live HTTP Headers or Firebug for Firefox, or Fiddler for IE, this should hopefully be easy. You don't seem technically challenged in the least, but just for the record, here's what I did using Firefox:
    1) Ran the Timesheets application
    2) For the very first icon on the left "My Timesheets", I right-clicked my mouse and chose "Copy Image Location"
    3) I opened up a new tab in Firefox and pasted the URL and then hit enter to retrieve the image
    4) I turned on Live HTTP headers and then clicked Refresh in my browser.
    I am most interested in the If-Modified-Since HTTP header. The full request on my system was:
    GET /pls/apx11c/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=191046216955701077&p_fname=eba_timesheets.png HTTP/1.1

  • Photoshop layered image doesn't work properly in DVDSP

    Well, hi. I'm new here, and something new in all FCP family. Well. I tried my first DVD and made a menu image in Photoshop with 2 layers (buttons). I imported in DVDSP, and created the buttom. For any strange reason, the layer image in photoshop is different from the image the buttom was created. Does anybody knows what have I done wrong? Files can bee seen and downloaded at
    http://www.4shared.com/dir/1817484/3e33549e/sharing.html password (if any) "salsa"
    There are: menudvd.psd = 1.2MB and dvdandre (zipped folder) = 23KB [workflow in DVDSP]
    SHORT:
    Image from the two guys in photoshop has borders (one layer with blue and other with red border). After imported in DVDSP, these borders disappeared, and the hair color made the difference when clicking the buttom.
    Well, thanks for all, sorry the "little confused english" I hope it was possible to understand.
    regards

    Walter
    Saludos desde Buenos Aires!
    As Steve told you DVDSP don't read Photoshop effects in layers. You need to rasterize those layers. The best workflow is work with a "source" file (to make any further changes), with all your effects and with a "final" file flattened file to use in DVDSP.
    Besides that you must create a separate file as Overlay. That file must be white background with your overlay shape in plain black (with a little more of practice you'll learn to use different tone of gray to get different colors iun your overlay, but 99% of my DVDs have just black and white overlays). You can/must use the background design as starting point.
    Finally because you are authoring a NTSC DVD you must take care of the pixel aspect ratio issue. What means that? Your "source" Photoshop background file must be 720x538 pixels. Before importing in DVDSP you must resize it to 720x480. This info is from DVDSP User Manual:
    Hope that helps !

  • Photoshop CS4 images corrupt when opening

    I have problems with Photoshop CS4..installed doftware fine, but when i open any image (raw, jpg etc) they are corrupt....i am running windows vista 32bit....could this be my graphics card thats giving the problem its a ATI Radeon HD2600XT?

    True corruption MAY be caused by bad hard-drive, cable, or ram. What only looks like corruption, (such as having solid fluorescent looking colored areas) but the corruptions goes away, when zooming is caused by video card or card drivers.
    Do you get a corruption warning or do they just appear corrupted?
    A few months ago I had real corrupted files on an XP machine running CS. The problem started after I installed a new wireless mouse. I reinstalled the old mouse and the problem went away. I know that does not seem logical but I swear that it happened.
    Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable than myself will be able to offer advice.

  • Images don't open when double clicked

    I have CS3 installed on a MacBook Pro.  Since installing Snow Leopard images will no longer open when double clicked or dragged onto the application icon.  The only way to open an image is through the open file menu.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    This is covered in the FAQs. Its for older systems but it just goes to show Apple still hasn't fixed it.

  • PDF files created on PC don't open properly on Mac

    Our homeowner's association has documents on a website that is serviced by a Homeowners Association company.  The documents are PDF documents that have been created at various times but primarily on PCs.  Some of them open correctly on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.4) using Adobe Reader (9.4.0) while others appear to open the pages (multiple page documents show all of the pages) but with blank pages.  Of course, when I contact the local administrator, he says I should get a PC.  I was wondering if the difficulty is with my Adobe Reader or perhaps the way in which the documents were converted from Word to a PDF file.

    Beverly A Johnson wrote:

    I certainly hope he isn't serious, if so, I'd put the blame squarely on him for producing a non-compliant PDF. That is a seriously ignorant statement on his part (no, I'm not defending Macs, I run many different platforms).
    First thing to be sure of an a Mac is that Mac Preview isn't accidently opening the file instead of Reader. I assumed you checked that already.
    Second, if you are opening it within a browser by clicking on a link try right>click (or Control>Click) to get the dialog that has an option to save the file to your hard drive. Once saved, open Reader and use File>Open to open the PDF that you saved to your machine.
    Does that work?
    If not, with the PDF open go to File>Properties>Description. What does it say next to Application. Then go to File>Properties>Description Advanced. What does it say next to PDF producer and PDF version?

  • CorelDRAW X4. Published PDFs don't open properly. But they used to.

    Hi everyone. I am having a problem while publishing a PDF from CorelDRAW X4. It used be ok for a long time, but one day something went wrong. After opening a published PDF file I see only a blank page zoomed to an enormous percentage value (e.g., 6035%) and the it says "there was an error reading this document (14)" .You cannot see anything but you can still import the PDF back into Corel and see the content. Unfortunatelly generated PDFs are useless. I am using different versions of Reader on a few computers. Everywhere is the same problem. Does anyone have any idea what happened ?

  • Photoshop won't open properly

    My Photoshop CS5.1 won't open properly anymore. When I click to open it, the logo pops up to start up, but it's split in half and the bottom part is above the top for some reason. After it loads everything looks right until I open an image. The image opens, but its all messed up it looks all distorted, I guess the best way to describe it is to say it's kind of checkered/pixelated. And the same thing happens to the toolbars, they get mixed in with the image when I open it. I've tried finding help on this topic anywhere, but nothing seems to match my problem. Thanks for any help

    Wait, you're running Photoshop in Parallels on a Mac, and you only just now thought to mention that? 
    Has the Parallels software been updated lately?
    I would check the Parallels forums to see whether there are display driver settings you can tweak.
    Meanwhile, go into the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu, uncheck [  ] Enable OpenGL Drawing, and OK out, then close Photoshop.  See if that helps.

    P.S., That screen grab is practically useless, though it's pretty obvious there's some kind of display corruption there.

  • Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

    Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

    1. You have allowed Apple to auto-upgrade your Mac
    Turn off auto-update here:
    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > App Store
    2. The Icons on your dock are Aliases not real apps
    They point to where the apps really are which is:
    For Pages 5.2.2 in your Applications folder
    For Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder
    3. You are alternately opening documents randomly with either version of Pages
    Both Pages have the same file extension .pages and there is no certainty as to which version opens them when you double click on a file.
    right click on the file and choose which version you want to open it
    4. Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files
    Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, and will convert and change Pages '09 and Word files.
    It will also auto save opened files into its own format.
    You can export these back to Pages '09 if you need to:
    Menu > File > Export > Pages '09
    5. Yes Pages 5.2.2 is a marked downgrade
    Pages 5.2.2 has a few improvements but has had over 110 features removed and is buggy.
    Sooner or later you will not be able to open a file or have it damaged in some way and it has a complex obscure file format largely incompatible with everything else, so you will not be able to rescue the contents of your file. If Pages or some third party server/eMail don't trash your file, eventually Apple will do it for you as it did when it released Pages 5 last September. I recommend using Pages '09 for the time being whilst you look for viable alternatives, some are here already and some are on the way.

  • Image preview in Open dialog window (Photoshop CS6)

    Hi
    We had a possibility to see images preview in Open File dialog window of Photoshop CS5 but in new CS6 version there is not such possibility. Should I forget about that nice option and use Mini Bridge?

    I'm not so sure it was on purpose or not Noel. Especially since it's still there in Illustrator and Indesign. If it weren't for it being in those, I might think it was intentional. Then again, it could very well be Adobe trying really hard to push MiniBridge, which is almost utterly useless. I think they actually made the minibridge WORSE as well. The sizing issues of the thumbnails on that are a pain and minibridge is just plain cumbersome to run. Anyways, besides my many qualms with minibridge itself, and back on the open dialog box thing...I actually watched a youtube video pointing out the same codecs you're talking about and without the PSD functionality, it's pretty useless. I'm a graphic designer, so I don't really use PS for camera image editing and don't mess with those files that the codec helps with. Even if it did, that still isn't very helpful to me. Because at that point, you're pretty much just doing what Bridge/MIniBridge does. However, consider how I, and many other designers in the print field work: At any given point we might have something like 3 different versions of a file; a PSD (with layers to edit), a JPEG (to send to the customer for proofing), and a PDF (for printing). Now, within that customer folder I might have 50+ files of different jobs. Imagine trying to sift through all those thumbnails, scrolling across window upon window, and when you get to the file you're finally looking for, you click it open to just to see that you opened the jpeg instead of the PSD. Now, in LIST view, I can see many more files on one screen and each file type is represented by an icon. So I know the blue icons are Photoshop icons and it's very easy to skim through there and know exactly which file type I'm looking for without peering at extensions. Get what I'm saying? Not that I don't appreciate you trying to help. Just saying, unless any codec can bring back the preview screen....than I don't see a workaround until Adobe flat out FIXES IT. I'm one of those guys that loves to get the newest thing and give it time to work, but if they don't fix it, I might have to call up Adobe and demand a downgrade on my Photoshop to 5.5, cause it really slows my workflow when I have hundreds of files to keep up with, and any new feature in PS CS6 that might have sped up my work is offset by not being able to do such a remedial task as preview my files before opening them.
