Photoshop CS2 for Win 7 won't recognize file type

I scanned some images using Phtoshop CS2 and saved them in Photoshope as jpgs. But apparently photoshop interpretted the end of the file name that I typed as a file extension - so a file that was called Portrait-06.22.1999 - was saved as a "1999" file as opposed to a jpg file. I can view these images in Windows Photo Viewer or Windows Live Photo gallery but they won't open in Photoshop. How do I change the file type so photoshop will recognize them? I tried just to add a JPG extension to the name of the file but that did not work. Also those photos that had this problem but were listed under "open recent" - I was able to get back in and save again as jpg and now they are fine. What to do with the others? Is there a trick or something I need to download? Thanks.

Tested an image. Here are the results.
If you have bat.test and save it saves as bat.test. In bridge their is no thumbnail as it is not recognized. You can rename as bat.jpg and it then works. Just right click and select rename.
If you have bat.test.jpg you can rename and just eliminate .test
Yes, you loose a little bit each time you save a jpg, but if you have it above 9? it is very minute. You would probalby have to save it dozens of times to see the difference on the screen. Depends on original pixel size and what you are going to do with it as to whether you will see any difference.

Photoshop CS2 upgrade -- computer won't recognize the CD

I'm trying to upgrade my Photoshop7 to CS2. When I insert the CD, nothing happens. I went through Toast and Disk Utility and they both insist there is no CD inserted. The same happens with the training CD that came with the upgrade. Also the same with my old Photoshop 7 CD and a Corel Painter CD. However, any Apple CDs are read fine as are my own data CDs and also audio CDs. I tried a permissions repair. I've tried reinstalling Toast. I ran Drive 10. Please, any other suggestions for my Panther 10.3.9 G4?
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

A co-worker of mine has had a similar problem. What she did was run Norton Disk Doctor and apparently the problem was fixed. However, after talking to her, she's no certain if Norton fixed the problem or if just shutting down the computer for the night fixed it.
I suggest trying either. Also check to see if the upgrade is for PC or Mac as Adobe's software isn't able to be read by both anymore because of the differences between OS X (10.3.X) and Windows XP. While some may still work I was advised to use the CD's designed for the specific operating system.
Hope this helps.

I work for a funeral home that has used Photoshop CS2 for years.

I work for a funeral home that has used Photoshop CS2 for years. Within this program, we were able to upload a background "file" with themes - i.e., spring flowers, fall leaves, etc. We would scan in pictures given to us by the deceased's family and "place" these on top of the background slide. We then used a software program, Nero, to create a slide show with music to play during the viewing. I've spent some time looking over the products and do not see one that will allow us to continue this very simple practice. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak to someone about this. Thank you.

Newer versions of Photoshop have new feature that CS2 does not have. However CC 2014 like CS2 does not have a slide show with sound feature. I have a Windows 7 Pro system. Have CS2, CS6, CC and CC 2014 installed. You need and Updated CS2 Installer to install CS2 on windows. CS2 is a 32 bit Photoshop there is no CS2 version that will run on new Mac computers their 64 Bit OS offered no 32bit options.
A $10 a month subscription will keep up to date with the latest Photoshop. Your other option is to buy CS6 for $700. CS6 is no longer supported it just marketed as is.

I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an iMAC. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe about this. What do I do? Ed

I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an IMAC and it doesn't work on that either. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe. What do I do? Thanks, Ed

That because the activation servers were retired. Now for the good news:
Adobe has provided a non-activation version of Photoshop CS2 free of charge for their CS2 license holders.
Download the Mac version of Photoshop (not the suite) and copy down the serial number next to it. Do not use your original serial number or cs2 disc.
Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
Uh... one more thing CS2 is PPC only. OSX 10.6.8 has Rosetta to run legacy PPC products. 10.7 and above will not.
Good luck,
Gene

There is no free version of CS2. There is only a special version of CS2 available for people who purchased it and need to reinstall it.

When I try to File Save As on an .FLV movie, Firefox automatically changes the filetype to .mp4 while Chrome for instance retains the .FLV file type. I wanted to see why this is and how it can be fixed to work similarly to Chrome. Thanks.

If that file is an FLV file then Firefox should save it as such and not change the file extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Photoshop won't recognize files unless they have file extension

Programs won't recognize their own (older) documents unless the file name includes the file type extension. For example, Photoshop won't recognize a .jpg from another Mac unless the .jpg is included in the file name.
How can I fix that without having to type the file extension every single time I want to open a file I've made on another Mac?
I have already turned on "show file extensions" in Finder Preferences. Some files just won't show their extensions.
Is there some other setting I can change?

I just did a little testing here to try and duplicate your issue. You're right. I pulled various old files from my archives that were created under OS 9. Which as you know, didn't normally use any type of file extensions.
Anything that was a TIFF, JPEG or EPS file opened in Preview, even though I know they were created in Photoshop. Adding the appropriate extension didn't change anything, they still opened in Preview. The only ones that opened in Photoshop when double clicked were those saved as native Photoshop files, even though they didn't have a .psd extension.
I was able though to do the normal process of doing a Get Info on a TIFF, changing it to open in Photoshop and then clicking the Change All button. From then on, all TIFFs opened in Photoshop as expected whether they had an extension or not.

Using Photoshop Elements to edit raw. Doesn't recognize file type

I recently downloaded photoshop elements to use as my editor within Iphoto. I've set it up as the default editor in preferences, and made the appropriate change in the advanced settings within Iphoto so that it exports edits in RAW. When I attempt to edit by double clicking, Photoshop Elements gives me a msg that it can't open file because it does not recognize the file type. Does anyone know why this would be? I am using a Nikon D60. I haven't downloaded the Nikon software onto the computer (not sure if that has anything to do with it). Does photoshop elements need anything additional? Any help appreciated.
Thx
Richie

Richie:
As Terence mentioned we can help with using PSE within iPHoto but why PSE doesn't recognize the D60 files is an Adobe issue. I believe there are Adobe plugins available to handle RAW files. Check the Adobe site for those. For using PSE to edit jpgs within iPhoto this may be of some help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Restore won't recognize file

Successfully backed up Curve 8330 to DM V 4.1.   (ad to wipe handheld due to a server upgrade.) Tried to restore back to Curve V 4.7 and won't recognize the file.
First thought is to restore to an old 7130 phone first then perform a back up on a newer DM version to then restore to the Curve.
Any ideas? Solutions? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First, look ON the pc and determine if and where the backup file is located. It will have the date in the file name and the "backup" as well, and end in the file type of IPD.
Second, is your boss on a corporate BES account? If so there will be a way to make the backup file be recognized.
Let me know.

Log and Transfer: FCE4 won't recognize files from my camera

Hi ...
I have a Sony XHR-NX5U and am capturing video on an optional Sony 128GB hard drive built for this camera. I've shot AVCHD video in both 1080/60i HQ and 1080/60i FX formats, and the camera produces video files in an MTS format (nestled in a series of folders), along with accompanying CPI files (I don't know what these are for).
My FCE4 program doesn't allow me to either import these files or use log/transfer. I've been forced to buy an external program to convert the MTS files into MOV files and then import these (Log and Transfer still won't recognize these MOV files).
What can I do to get FCE4 to recognize and allow the files directly from my camera?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
- matt

I see your camera can be switched to record a bunch of ways.
Try this one:
AVCHD FH (17Mbps) 1920x-1080/60i
It should work with Log and Transfer over USB.
Also make sure you start a New Project in FCE with the Easy Setup AVCHD-Apple Intermendaite Codec1920 x 1080i60 selected and active.
Some cameras do not seem to transfer if mixed media is on the card. Try a test with the above media ONLY on the card.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 for free?

I´ve heard that Adobe Photoshop CS2 is now available for free. Is that right and where am I able to download it? Thanks a lot

Because their online activation servers had to be shut down, Adobe released a version of Photoshop CS2 that avoids online activation for existing license holders so that they can continue to use the software they purchased a license for.
A lot of web sites reported that this was tantamount to it suddenly being "given away for free".
It's not.
Using it without a license is tantamount to walking out with merchandise from a store just because it's not in a locked cabinet and you can pick it up with your hands.
Sorry for the bad news.

Can i get Adobe Photoshop CS2 for free of cost?

I have came across that photoshop cs2 is coming legally free of cost

As gener7 has pointed out there is no "free Photoshop CS2", it has been made available for people who hold legitimate licenses for versions affected by the activation server having been taken offline and a lot of people seem to have misunderstood that.
While it may be tempting to ignore the distinction it may be worth considering that Photoshop is still the product of other persons’ efforts (no matter how the profits are being distributed between the corporation Adobe and the individual developers etc.) – supposing you do produce images yourself (as a photographer, designer, illustrator, …) how would you feel about people assuming because you publish them online they are theirs to use for free?
Maybe you should consider using the free image editing application Gimp if your economical circumstances should not allow for purchasing a Photoshop license currently.

Downloading adobe photoshop cs2 for free

I am living in USA. Can I download and install free adobe photoshop cs2??? because its old version. and I have found through google to download for free.

The free download for CS2 products is for licensed users to replace their previous versions that required activation and can no longer be installed becasue the activation servers are shut down. Anyone else who uses the installers is commiting a crime.

Creating stills in photoshop cs2 for 16:9 HDTV

Hi,
I've been reading posts regarding creating stills and still need some clarification. I'm from a print world, so dealing with square pixels vs. non square, hdv, vs dv widescreen is all a bit confusing....
I've been to this link: http://www.fcpbook.com/Photoshop1.html and several others, plus reading the manuals which all have been helpful, but each instance deals with different specs, not necessarily what I've listed below.
First, I am creating the stills for 16:9 viewing on a hidef tv (1080). The FCE HD project is an animated, narrated story with overlays, keyframe motion and some limited effects.
Here are my questions:
1. In creating my original photoshop template: should I use pshop's presets under "new document":
HDV, 1920 x 1080 (with guides) and if yes, what should the aspect ratio be set at? Square or HDV anamorphic? (When I do "HDV anamorphic" I get a squashed look in FCE, with "square" it looks good.)
2. Saving the photoshop file to be imported into FCE, would it be better to save as a jpg, or photoshop or other format? I've been reading differing opinions as to which...
3. Once I create this template (above) can I crop down the still if it doesn't fill the entire photoshop template (I will have some overlays that will not require a full frame in FCE).
4. some images will be enlarged in FCE. Instead of enlarging them in FCE, should I be enlarging them in photoshop? should I be enlarging exponentially, ie doubling the size of my original photoshop template? And if I'm enlarging them less than 150% in FCE, would the image lose it's sharpness at that enlargement?
5. And finally, I've already created some of the stills in photoshop using the photoshop presets for HDV 1920 x 1080, pixel aspect: square and brought them into FCE. Is WYSWYG in the FCE's canvas window what I'll be seeing on my TV monitor (16:9 1080 HDTV). The images are not squashed and look great, but I'm not sure if that's what I'll end up with when I finally view on my tv.
Thanks for any help!

1. If you're working in FCE in a 1920x1080 sequence then that's what you should make in Photoshop, square pixels not HDV.
2. Save as Photoshop, TIFF, or PNG, not JPEG.
3. Yes.
4. Enlarge in Photoshop if they have to be enlarged. You should never double the size of an image. It will quickly start to deteriorate, especially when it's re-compressed. You'll have to live with it not being full size. You should never enlarge an image more than 115%. It will start to soften and make encoding more difficult.
5. No. The Canvas is a lo res representation of the final output. For professional work most editors use an external video monitor to view their material. This can't be done unfortunately in FCE with HD material.
