Photoshop CS2 Cannot read PNG files--"Not Enough Memory"

Hi! I have a bit of a problem. I've scoured the interwebs for days but can't find a solution.
My copy of PSCS2 was able to open PNGs in the past, but it just up and decided it doesn't want to anymore. I'm serious--I can't think of any major overhaul or anything I did to cause it, but now it won't read them correctly. It says there's "not enough memory," which doesn't really make sense, when I have a Macbook Pro and nothing running in the background. On top of that, the particular files I've been trying to open are barely 100kb. I've used canvases upwards of ten thousand square pixels in dimension with no problem.
This is with any PNG file. It's not an "incorrect extension" problem, because I made these files and just need to reopen them to edit things.
Here are some screenshots that show what's been happening; nothing exciting, but just in case someone notices something I don't:
That's the picture I want to open.
And that's what pops up.
:/ I'm a little dumbfounded. Halp?

Now, this is strange.
I restarted my computer and now the message has changed--to a simple one, but albeit still confusing.
Sigh.
I didn't do anything but restart my computer.

  • Cannot Remove Backup files - not enough memory to support this procedure

    I Have SL510 and Windows 7 Proffessional. When I go to Thinkvantage R&R and click advanced dropdown box to delete backups there are no backups shown which can be deleted. I can however view backups but there are no buttons to delete. I'm stuck with 120GB of backups out of total capacity of 280Gb
    Help please.
    Moderator edit: Matched subject to content.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have now eventually found a way to see the backups and to tick the box to delete selected backups. After running for a while I get a message that the system does not have enough memory to support this procedure.

    I followed the advice of another user, cleared my payment information and re-entered my credit card info and this took care of it, I was immediately able to download new purchases. Apparently they called and got this info from someone at Apple, there is some sort of "bug".  worked for me...hope it helps you out too!!

  • Cannot syn iphotos . says " Not enough memory where as i have 34 gig available on ipad

    cannot syn iphotos . says " Not enough memory where as i have 34 gig available on ipad

    FYI.. it's storage space not memory.
    Try restarting your iPad. Press and hold the sleep / wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to the right to power off. Then press and hold the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
    Restart your computer.
    Now try syncing photos.

  • Just bought Canon 40d - Use CS2 - Cannot read Raw files in Bridge

    Heading says it all really. Just purchased new Canon 40D Body and have been using CS2 on Mac OS 10.4 for over two years. Cannot read RAW files in Photoshop Bridge which is what I have used consistently with 20D files up to now. Quick search on Google brought up fact that Adobe had not up upgraded Bridge to read new 40D files but that was 2 years ago. Am now looking for plug-in! Can anyone help or am I now forced to upgrade my CS2 or move away to Aperture or Lightroom? Any help gratefully received. Rob

    The 40d is not supported by any version of Camera Raw that can run in CS2.  You need at least CS3 and ACR 4.2 or greater.
    Dowload the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 and convert the raw files from your 40d to raw DNGs first, then you can open the DNG files in ACR 3.7 hosted by CS2.

  • Photoshop CS6 unusable -interface freezes and not enough memory message - on a specific hardware

    I usually speak french but I'll try to be as clear as possible.
    I work as a technician in a school and we're experiencing a major issue with Photoshop CS6.
    We have 3 differents computer's hardware. Photoshop CS6 works fine on 2 of them.
    On the other though, Photoshop CS6 is unusable. With this specific hardware, Photoshop has the same weird behavior on each machine (around 50), so it's not related to an hardware malfunction (like bad ram) I suppose.
    Our problem is this: Once Photoshop is opened and you minimize it in the task bar, as soon as you maximise it to use it again, the interface doesn't respond well at all, the interface is all messed up, some windows are missing and most of the time Photoshop freezes. And after that, whatever we try to do, like selecting whatever option, we have the ''not enough memory'' message. So we can't do nothing with the program after that, from selecting another tool to saving a file.
    Even when no file is opened and we have plenty of RAM that can be used, the problem is there.
    The same problem occurs if we open a window above Photoshop (internet, word, everything). As soon as we go back to work in Photoshop, the interface freezes and windows are missing, and we get the same not enough memory message every time.
    We already tried to change/desactivate each performance settings in Photoshop, we already installed the latest Photoshop CS6 update.
    We've updated BIOS, processor driver, graphic card driver, etc.
    We have this problem with Photoshop CS6 64 bits and 32 bits.
    We dont have this problem with any other program in the CS6 suite.
    We dont have this problem with Photoshop CS5.
    We have the same graphic card and driver on the others computers where Photoshop CS6 works perfectly well.
    What's bugging us is everything else in the production suite works fine!
    Please, do you think of anything else we can try?
    We're hopeless!
    Here is the specific hardware where the problem occur.
    Hardware:
    Dell Inspiron T3500
    Intel XEON e5220 2.27 ghz
    6 GIGS (RAM)
    Quadro FX 1800
    Plenty of available hard-disk.
    VRAM: 768 MB
    OPEN GL: Version 3.3
    Windows 7 Professional SP1

    Yes! There it this (sorry our Photoshop version is in french since we are a french school, I hope it's still useful to you) .
    Please note that it's not with the latest Adobe update available, but we've tried it on an other computer but I can't access it right now. But the adobe update did'nt solve the problem either.

  • When opening files "Not enough memory to load TIFF file."

    Mac just had a new build of OSX 10.6.8.
    Total memory 4gb of which over 3gb is free.
    Open any image gives a memory error "Not enough memory to load TIFF file"

    Open the linked tiff file(s) in photoshop, and resave with LZW Compression (OFF I Believe). I know you can place an lzw tiff adn usually works fine, but I believe i had this in the past and turned it off/chanegd the RLE settings and Illustrator was made happy. Also look for if the image is  photoshop >> image >> 8 bits/channel.

  • Opening PSD File - Not Enough Memory

    I created a sequence of images from Particle Illusion in a PSD format. When I open one of the images in Photoshop (CS3), it opens - no problem. When I try to open it in Illustrator CS3, I get the message "Not enough memory to place the file".

    On Windows XP 64, opening PSD files with Illustrator CS3 does not seem to work.
    What you can do to resolve this issue is to save the file as PNG in Photoshop. That can be opened in Illustrator and transprency is preserved.

  • Cannot install PPro CS4 - not enough memory????

    I am trying to install the trial version of Premire Pro CS4 for evaluation purposes.
    For some reason the installer reports that I do not have sufficient memory on the chosen hard drive, which I clearly have. See bottom left hand corner of the screen here:
    http://tinypic.com/r/2eekdqu/6
    The default drive chosen by the installer is C, which indeed does not have enough space, but the message remain regardless of the drive I change to. I already tried to go back and forward and change the drive selected to see if it will refresh properly, but to no avail.
    Any idea how to make this work?
    TIA.

    Managed to solve the problem...
    The problem was that PPro installer installs some shared files into the C drive in addition to installing the application itself to your chosen drive (which could be a different one).
    The oversight on the part of the developers of the installer is that the 'not enough memory' warning message during installation corresponds to having not enough memory on either or both the C drive AND your chosen drive. At the same time the installer also gives an indicattion of the amount of memory available and the amount required, but without indication that this only correesponds to your chosen drive.... So, if your drive has enough memory, but the c drive doesn't the installer gives you two conflicting messages...
    I now clear some space for the shared files on C, and the warning disappeared and everything installed and ran fine.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Recovery EUL from EEX file - Not enough memory

    Hi,
    I have the following problem.
    I need to recover the EUL from a. EEx file.
    At the time of the import and 65 porcient, in step 3/4 an error "Not enough memory". and aborts
    The. Ex has a size of 2GB
    Anyone have idea why this happens?
    thank you very much

    Hello
    Your problem is exacltly as described, you are out of memory. Presumably you are logging in to Discoverer Admin and running the import from within the tool? Make sure you have no other applications open and make sure your machine has the maximum amount of memory installed as you can. If using XP you will need to make sure you have 4GB RAM, although XP can only address 3.5 GB.
    If this doesn't work then try doing the install from either the DOS command line or the Java command line. These have a much smaller footprint and I have known several instances where Discoverer Admin ran out of memory only for the command line to load it ok.
    Hope this helps
    Michael

  • Cannot open 705 MB tiff file - Not enough memory

    I have PS CS3 and am running a Dell precision workstation 690 with 4GB ram, 1.6GHz Xeon duo core processor, NVIDIA Quadoro FX 3450 video card. I have a tiff that is 705.4 MB and when I try to open it an error message pops up and reads: could not compelte your request because there is not enought memory (RAM).
    I have gone into preferences/performance and moved the memory usage up to 70%. Do I really need to purchase more RAM for the computer?

    John,
    Try closing all your other apps and see if that helps, or reboot and try it before opening anything else. Use Photoshop->File->Open instead of Bridge to eliminate that as a cause.
    Also, as Michael suggested, you need *lots* of empty disk space for Photoshop to open a file that large. I work with images that size a few time a year and have never had an issue, even when I had an old P4 with 2G RAM a couple of years ago. So your system should be up to the task. I've even worked (slowly) on 2GB images on the old P4 so your 4GB RAM is not the culprit. But I've always used an empty 2nd hard disk (my fastest drive) for Photoshop to use for its scratch disk.

  • HT1414 I get error "cannot restore phone because not enough memory" when trying to restore iphone 5

    My iphone 5 is freezing continuously and will not respond until turning off and on. It then freezes again with the first usage and will not respond with any button. I tried restoring it but get the message " Cannot restore phone because there isn't enough memory". Is anyone familiar with this problem?

  • Photoshop Imageready cannot read .mov files

    This is just one big pain. I got a new computer and had to reinstall everything, after doing so i decided to go make a vid sig,
    However now my photoshop imageready does not read/recognise .mov files, i check for about four hours and have been unable to find my answer,
    Yes, i have quicktime (7.0 i think)
    Yes, i have Divx (also 7 i think)
    And as i cannot find a thread around here like this i thought i would post cause this is really ticking me off.
    (oh yeah its photoshop 7.0, and i have never had this problem before)
    Edit: Also the message that comes up is,
    adobe imageready - could not complete this operation because this file is an unknown format

    Did you apply the 7.01 updater to it?

  • Can't open file, not enough memory (RAM)

    This message pops up when I try to open certain files on Photoshop CS and it's ridiculous because I have loads of memory, and it previously opened much bigger files with no problem.  Sometimes it works if I close and open Photoshop and try again, but it isn't this time.  Please help...
    Thankyou

    I have discovered that the problem is that the TIFF files I am tying to open are 32 bit files.  There are several references on the Internet to Photoshop not being able to open these files   These are output files produced by the astro-imaging software Deep Sky Stacker.  Within DSS  I can save the 32 bit TIFFs  as 16 bit files which photoshop CS5 can open fine.
    Does anyone know whether Photoshop CS5 can open 32 bit tiff files at all?  Would it help if I could update my version of Photoshop (see update problem above)?
