Photoshop CS layered files ok in CS5?

Does anyone know if there are problems opening layered files from Photoshop CS in CS5? I'm about to upgrade and need to know if the layered TIFFs and PSDs I created in CS will open as layers in CS5.

Keep in mind you don't strictly have to remove CS when you install CS5. They can both coexist - just not be run at the exact same time. That can give you some confidence that you'll be able to open the older files with CS if you need to. In other words, you don't have to get everything exactly right ahead of time.

Photoshop Question Layered File

Hey, I have a question. I have never had a client ask me this but he told me if he paid me for a ad can I give him the layered file after? He need to make banners and large format printing...I have google up what is layered file, and it doesn't seem to give me the answer. I am wondering if he meant like editing the photo with tranparents background that is by itself and not paste on the ad? or if he mean when I finished the ad and save as it is and not flatten the layers?

What you client wants is the file not flattened, so he can avoid paying you to do the banners. If you give him the unflattened file, but sure to charge more than you would for the flattened one, because you are giving him not just a finished ad, but all the pieces to create new works from it.
And, of course you can't legally give him any fonts you used, so rasterize any text layers before handing it over.

Photoshop CC layered files preview

Hey guys
I'm having alot of issues with thumbnail previews in Finder ever since I updated to Mavericks. Basically, any TIF-files that include layer masks won't show a preview at all in Finder. I just get the static TIF-file graphics, but no actual preview. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I have enabled to maximise compatability in photoshop, and all the files are either 16 or 18 bit files.

Large and many layered file slow on CS5

I've installed CS5 on a new 17" MBP i5 8gb. Opening a CMYK PSB of 5.75 gb and around 100 layers, I was disheartened to find that scrolling and zooming were noticeably slower on CS5 than on CS3 on the same machine, and not substantially faster than CS3 on a 2007 17" MBP. It's frustrating, as Adobe has suggested that I might "process very large images up to ten times faster by taking advantage of cross-platform 64-bit support."
Zooms for this file vary between a few seconds and a minute. At the extremes, it is noticeably worse than CS3 on the same MBP. But even where the time to redraw is similar, CS5's only-when-complete redraw offers less information and less ability to responsively modify zooms than CS3.
Scrolls cause freezes of several seconds to a half minute. I assume that CS3's progressive redraw may sometimes feel faster than it is. But that rapid if partial response is usable information when scrolling. It's often unnecessary to fully image a screen, but CS5 makes it unavoidable. In both CS3 and CS5, once the whole image has been viewed at a particular zoom, scrolling becomes relatively fluid within that zoom until changes have been made.
Looking around this site, I've seen and taken suggestions to repair permissions with Disk Utility, turn off Font Preview and increase the Cache Tile Size to 1024k. There are no 3rd party plugins loaded. I've not seen a substantial improvement in zooming or scrolling, after these changes.
I'm a bit confused by the "tall and thin" and "big and fat" options, as this file and many that I work on have both large height/width and many layers, so neither description fits.
Can anyone recommend settings that might substantially speed up CS5's handling of large files with many layers? Thanks!

Unless you work with us to find the cause of your slowdown, it won't get fixed.
We don't know why you're running slow.
So far the slowdowns seem to be due to bad fonts, bad third party plugins.
But without steps/files to reproduce a slowdown, we aren't going to be able to indentify a cause, much less fix anything.
Chris, are you going to ask me for information that I have not already supplied? Where do I send the multi-GB files?

Photoshop CS6 program error saving layered files

I recently updated my adobe software and I am still getting issues with saving layered files. I keep gettting program error - only occasionally. Sometimes saving to my desktop works and other times it doesnt. Other coworkers are experiencing same thing ever since they updated. It happens when working on a layered file for any length of time and need to save it out as a layered photoshop file. We are forced to flatten and save as a tif and loose our layers. I think it has something to do with background task but not sure...

Drag the file to your desktop, open the file there, do your edits, save, and then drag back.
Let us know what you are working off. If server, what server software are you using. System preferences >> spotlight, uncheck all items.

Can files created in cs5.5 design premium be saved so they open in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS4?

Can files created in cs5.5 design premium be saved so they open in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS4?

Yes, you can save compatible files as long as you obey the rules like not using unsupported features such as nested groups, per group clipping masks, smart objects and several other things in Photoshop and use the "Maximize Compatibility" option. Illustrator will simply expand the appearance of objects or rasterize/ flatten them when going back to older versions if a feature is not available or changed in those old versions.

Placing Photoshop file in Illustrator CS5 - why doesn't it work?

I frequently place Photoshop files into Illustrator CS3 without issue.... the PS file places right into the file with transparent surroundings.
I just upgraded to CS5 and for some reason, I "Place" the Photoshop file, but nothing shows up in Illustrator. I must not have a preference set correctly.
Can you help?
Thanks.

Hi Matthew - thanks for taking the time to check this issue out for me.
I have just uninstalled Illustrator CS5, because I need to get things done - and reverted back to CS3..... however, I did duplicate a file to demonstrate what I'm doing.
I created a sample file with a very simple, non-descript green vector shape.... then, In Photoshop, I created a yellow image that says Photoshop Placed File. I gave it a dropshadow...
I then went back to Illustrator and selected 'File/place'..... and selected the photoshop file described above. I then placed it on top of the green vector image in Illustrator CS3 and it layed on top fine - with NO white box around it as a jpg would do. PLUS, the black dropshadow fades nicely over whatever image color you place it upon.... it 'gradually' lets the vector color below it show through as the fade diminishes to 0%.
NOW - I tried to 'place' a file into Illustrator CS5 in this same manner.... and I get absolutely nothing! The Raster photoshop image doesn't even show up in Illustrator CS5. This is where I was at when I started the topic.
Any ideas??

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

Placing Photoshop files in Illustrator CS5 results in wrong percentages of spot colors?

When placing a native PSD file into Illustrator CS5 that includes different percentages of spot colors they will be different than what was specified in Photoshop. The spot colors are overlaying CMYK to create a see thru look.
For example if the spot color is 40% it will end up being 16%. 100% will stay at 100%, but any other percentage will be different than what is entered in Photoshop.
We are able to see the difference when creating a PDF or when the file is output to our high end printer. It can also be visually seen when putting an Illustrator CS4 and and Illustrator CS5 side by side.
I can take the same PSD file and place it into Illustrator CS4 and it retains the percentage that is entered in Photoshop. All percentages match the percentages that are entered in Photoshop when a PDF is created or printed to our printer.
I have tried saving the PSD file out as a Tiff file and a DCS2.0 file and get the same results in Illustrator CS5.
Is there a bug in Illustrator CS5 or should we handle our Spot Color Scans a different way? We never had this issue with any previous version of Illustrator.
Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Mike,
I understand what your saying but I should have mentioned that the Spot Colors are actually overlaying the CMYK in Photoshop not in Illustrator CS5. When this scan gets placed in Illustrator the Spot Colors values are different. There is no art below the scan in Illustrator. Hope this makes it a little clearer on what were trying to do.
Also remember that it works just fine in any version of Illustrator before CS5.
Thanks

Importing Photoshop layered files to Motion

I'm having issues importing Photoshop layered files to Motion. When the file appears in the viewer, text or the shapes in the Photoshop file have changed colors. It's almost like motion doesn't recognize a gradient color in the text or shape. I've tried rasterizing the layer but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

hopefully above fixed that! not to hijack, but group layer labels don't seem to imported properly into apple products. is this due to the apple-adobe wars? i am anal so all my photoshop layers are grouped with some organization, but in motion it looks like a mess. thx,

How to open your Photoshop Touch project file in Photoshop

How to open your Photoshop Touch project file in Photoshop
When your files are stored in the Creative Cloud, you can access them on your mobile device using Adobe Photoshop Touch, or on your desktop computer using Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop Touch can open files in the following formats: PSD*, PSDX, PNG, JPG, and GIF. And, with a free plug-in for Photoshop CS5, CS5.1, and CS6 you can open the PSDX files created by Photoshop Touch in Photoshop.
[Note: PSD files can only be opened via the Adobe Creative Cloud. The file is converted, layers are flattened to a single layer, and other info that is only supported in Photoshop is removed.]
Download the plug-in (if you have CS6, skip this section)
1. If you have CS5 and CS5.1, you are required to download a plug-in to be able to open your PSDX files in Photoshop. If you have CS6, you are not required to download the plug-in (it is native within the version). In a browser on your desktop computer, navigate to the Creative Cloud Homepage ( https://creative.adobe.com ). Sign-in to Creative Cloud using your Adobe ID, then navigate to the Creative Cloud Apps & Services page (https://creative.adobe.com/apps).
2. Click download under “Touch App Plug-ins” to start the download and install process. Included with the installer is a plug-in for Illustrator CS6, which enables opening of Ideas files (.idea) in Illustrator, and a plug-in for Photoshop CS5 and 5.1, which enables opening of Photoshop Touch files (.psdx) in Photoshop.
3. You will be asked (if you haven't already) to install the Adobe Application Manager. Follow the steps to install the manager, and the Touch App Plugin should begin the download and installation process. If it does not, click install next to the “Touch App Plugins” icon in the Adobe Application Manager to start the process.
4. You're all set to start opening your PS Touch files in Photoshop CS6.

Lightroom 5.3 should be able to open D600 RAW photos.
The problem is most likely that you used some version of Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer. This interferes with Lightroom's ability to read the files. If the files are still on your camera card, use Lightroom to directly access them from the camera card. If they are not on your camera card, you can still fix the files, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/6181267#6181267

Layers problem in PS cs5 extended, all layers change at once, including background layer.

layers problem in PS cs5 extended, when working in a layer, all layers changes at once i.e size, cropping, smart object etc. even the background layer changes...it is really annoying, please help, My system windows 7 64 bit 4gb ram. It is not grouped, deleted preferences, usually work in rgb/ 8 bit channel - have same problem with all new projects.

Hi
Problem with layers is when I use the crop tool in a layer out of 20, all of them get croped at once including a locked backgound layer.
When I use smart object in a layer to size down image with transform tool, guess what happens to all the layers in project? all behave odd, changes same as the layer being sized down. If I work images or layers in separate files, once I bring them over to my workspace, all get affected without maintaining their own individuality. This happens with every new project. I think colors are not affecting layers. Layers are not grouped, I do not know anything about linking layers. This problem is stopping me from using photoshop. Please help!!!
I had previously a problem with a photoshop bug (GPU sniffer), which I was able to resolve it with reintalling the graphics video card with the help of HP technical support, I am able now to work with repousse however with same video card.
Let me know if you need me to give you more details.
thanks,

Muse doesn't seem to see Photoshop Adjustment Layers

I like to place Photoshop files in Muse, so I can quickly edit a non-destructive format, instead of a JPEG. I recently noticed that some placed Photoshop files were markedly more dull in Muse than they appear in Photoshop.
Opening the Muse-created web page and comparing it with an open Photoshop file, it appears that Muse is not honoring my top layers, which are Photoshop Adjustment Layers.

As much as I believe that Muse is not really fit for purpose yet, I do not have the issues you are encountering with Opera.
