Photoshop CS3 shuts down after opening a PSD file with layers

Hello, I have met a problem with Photoshop CS3 (Windows XP SP2, no network printer) - after opening a PSD file with layers (saved with CS2) Photoshop shuts down. No error message.
Can some of you help me? (The only software that I have installed after Creative Suite CS3 is Corel X4. I have installed no upgrades of CS3.)

> I have installed no upgrades of CS3
You should!
Even if it doesn't help here you should.

  • How can I open a psd file with layers in touch?

    I want to edit a psd file with layers in photoshop touch. Is this possible?

    No. (Kind of, sort of.) You can export PS Touch projects for import into desktop Photoshop and have the layers intact for further editing but you cannot do the reverse; any imported PSD will be automatically flattened. (I'm guessing this was done to prevent crashing. PS Touch supports 12 layers max vs. the potential thousands available in desktop Photoshop.)

  • Photoshop Elements shuts down upon opening

    as of this past saturday after opening up photoshop elements 8 program,  it shuts down after approx. 4 to 6 seconds, what is the fix to this problem. thanks!

    Ronzie, thanks for the response,  If I delete my Photoshop Elements 8 and install PSE 10, can I import the old photos that used to be in Photoshop Elements 8 into PSE 10?
    thanks!  Mike Cardenas

    If you normally open with Organizer perhaps it is encountering a corrupt image in its cached folder on opening.
    I just installed PSE 10 and set up a shortcut to go right to the full editor. See if that works for you.
    If you have a lot of disk activity on starting, more than usual, previously installing certain plug-ins requires PSW to rebuild its cache system where these are stored.
    In Organizer if you can set a preference to not open up the last folder used automagically, you might get it to start. Then when selecting folders to browse you can note which folder causes a crash. If you start the editor directly perhaps in preferences you'll find an Organizer setting to try this out.

    Photoshop CS6 shut down after using for 5mins; no image can display on canvas.

    Thanks for your help.  Actually the problem was solved when turning off the GPU.   In the mean time, I would like to upgrade my Video Card, too.  My existing vedio card detials are as below.  May I seek your advice on any good method other than replace it.

  • Can anyone answer why photoshop CS3 shuts down when I use the scanner?

    Can anyone help me with why photoshop CS3 shuts down when I use the scanner? I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite.

    Ask in the PS forum and be much more specific. You have not provided exact system information, crash logs, scanner details. That said, this may be a compatibility issue that can't be overcome.

  • Mail Shuts Down After Opening

    When I open my Mail, it shuts down after about 5 seconds. This has recently started happening. Could it be that some of my folders are too full? I barely have enough time to get to the folders since it shuts down so quickly.

    Hi Adamguy,
    Sounds like a corrupted preference file.
    Open HD>Users>Your_Name>Library>Preferences folder
    Now loo for the com.apple.Mail.plist and drag it to the desktop *DON'T TRASH IT*
    Now open Mail application again.
    Is it still crashing ?? When Mail stays open than you can trash the Mail.plist file from the desktop to the trash can.
    Post back with the results ...

  • My mail shuts down after opening

    my mail shuts down after 5 seconds

    Have you tried closing the Mail app completely and then seeing if it works when you re-open it? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Photoshop CS Extended can't open some PSD files

    Hi,
    Yesterday I have created a new PSD file and worked on it and finally saved the file, but now i can't open the file any more. PS always fails to open the file, because of an internal error.
    I have tried to open some other PSD files, but 3 of 4 files (on my current HDD) didn't work to open and i don't know why. All of those other PSD files are at least 1 month old and PS could open these files. The last time i have opened these files was two weeks ago. The one PSD file, that worked has the following properties:
    image: 1179x1528, 72ppi,8bit,RGB, 15,04 MB
    and the files that don't work have the following properties:
    image1: 454x340, 71ppi, 16bit, RGB, sRGB (profile), 1,17 MB
    image2: 1280x1024, 71ppi, 8bit, RGB, sRGB, 1,92 MB
    image3: 1191x1644, 71ppi, 16bit, RGB, sRGB, 12,02 MB
    I have got, the meta-data out of Adobe Bridge. I can see the preview Image and the thumbnails in the open-dialog of PS. I tried to open the file with other applications like Paintshop Pro and PhotoImpact and both couldn't open them. Paintshop Pro quits, because it doesn't support the "color model".
    I don't know, what else i can do to open these files. I looked around the forum but couldn't find any solution for my problem.
    Does anyone know a solution for my problem ?
    evangelion2100
    PS: I have deleted the pref-file of PS and still it didn't work.

    Dear all. After getting the same problem and read all possible solutions online with no success finally I got rid of this problem successfully and Now it is working perfectly again, and I hope It will work for you all.
    Here it goes:
    BACKGROUND (my case): PS CS3 installed (Premium-Extended), Win Vista 32 Bits. For months it was working perfectly until yesterday, when the app stopped when attempting opening some PSD files. Some other CS3 apps either stopped. 1st I thought it was some kind of file corruption issue.
    After 3 uninstall-reinstall attempts of the whole CS3 and still troubleshooting, I went to the Vista Error Log. Regarding PS CS3 there was a DLL file named "CoolType.dll" which was suspicious to be the main cause of this ****.
    Making a research, it relates to installed Fonts in Windows, that gave me the clue to all of it.
    Yesterday, I installed fonts while working with PS CS3 Im now pretty sure that this process someway altered the Cooltype.dll file, or fonts were not installed properly.
    SOLUTION (my case): locate and uninstall recent fonts (which may have been the problem). NOW my PS3 CS3 is working more than PERFECT!!
    HOPE THIS CAN HELP. I think this topic regards some kind of failed font installation. Check it out and remember if you have modified something.

  • How to export "gif" animation frames as individual .psd files with layers intact?

    Hi, after creating an extended 25 frame animation (as if building a .gif) I would like to export each frame to individual .psd files with all the layers showing in each respective frame intact as separate editable layers (rather than each frame as a flattened one layer image/psd)...how can this be done? thanks

    maybe it would be easiest if there were just a script which would delete all the layers not visible in a frame but leave the visible layers unflattened, then the file could be saved with a new_name_001 etc., then the deletions could be undone manually via option+command z, the animation advanced by a frame...repeat
    is there a script which deletes all but the visible layers in a frame -- but leaves those which are visible unflattened/editable?
    thanks

  • CS3 shuts down after wierd error

    I'm guessing this problem can be solved by uninstalling/installing my printer driver but thought I'd check here to see if anyone's seen an error this strange anyway.
    If I try to open either a large number of photos or a few large ones, I can sometimes end up with CS3 closing and telling me that a faulting module, e_fuicaia.dll, caused the program to shut down.
    Just what this has to do with anything, I don't know. It is a driver for an old epson 220 cd printer. Why loading photoshop causes the printer driver to crash it seems quite odd.
    As I said, hopefully reinstalling the printer driver will have an effect, although the printer itself works just fine. hmmmm

    Is the Epson 220 set as your default printer? I'd set another, even if its say the "Generic PS Printer," or the Acrobat Printer. You should be able to use the CD printer, by selecting it in the Print dialog box. If that doesn't work, then maybe an uninstall/re-install would work. Personally, I'd do a Registry cleaning, after uninstall, and prior to re-install.

    Lerdalen has Photoshop CC ever worked properly on your computer?  If not then I would recommend reviewing your installation logs for error messages.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

  • Can't shut down after opening Java Control Panel

    Hello,
    I'm just a regular guy with Windows ME and since I installed JRE 1.4.2_02 (for Mozilla 1.5), I can't shut down my pc after opening the Java Control Panel. Javaw.exe stays in memory (Norton System Information) even after the JCP has been closed. This was not an issue with 1.4.1 beta which I used for a long time. Then I could open the JCP applet and make adjustments (minor, just whether or not I wanted it to be able to cache applets etc.) then I would close it and nothing interfered with shutdown.
    I have even tried Enditall2 and Sysinternals Process Explorer's close and kill functions and neither can close or kill Javaw.exe.
    I have very little running in the background and never had shutdown issues until installing JRE 1.4.2_02 and it works fine other than this issue with JCP and shutdown.
    Thankyou for any advice.

    Gave up, went back to 1.4.1_05, shutdown problem solved.
    Disappointed but at least Java works okay and I can adjust things in JCP applet without having to do the three finger salute twice each time. No more Javaw in memory when I close the applet.
    Played with Java Web Start's demos, seem to work fine, I guess. Really don't understand what JWS is for, not for us non-programmers?

  • Not a compatible version of Photoshop...can not open my psd files...

    After "save as" a psd file, I am unable to open it.  "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."..  "There was a problem reading the layer data.  Read the composite data instead ?"  It is no problem for me to open psd files but after saving it is not possible....?

    I don't understand if the older version was able to open the PSD it should be able to save the psd.  I can believe an old version of Photoshop not being able to open a newer version of Photoshop save psd file when newer features were used and saved into a PSD file.
    Your wording confuses me even the context does not seem to make sense to me.
