Photoshop CS4, Saved a Tiff file now won't open correctly

I saved a file as a .tif and it saved as normal then I shut down Photoshop and then the PC. The next day when I try to open the file it doesn't open correctly it opens but the right hand side of the photo is on the left and the left hand side of the image is now on the right, its like its been cut in half and put pack the wrong way.
It also didn't open with the layers only as a locked background. When I view the file in the icon it looks fine until I open it.
Help!

Laura, I'd guess this is not promising for you.  TIFF files tend to be large, so I am wondering if you might have closed Photosho and the PC before it had finished saving?  Do you remember the pixel size of the original image, and what is the file size in Mb?  I am not sure how Photoshop treats TIFF images, depite them owning the file format after buying it from Aldus a few years ago, but it sounds like it was saved as a series of tiles, and the information about the order of those tiles is corrupted.  You might be able to Google TIF file recovery program, but it is unlikely you'll get the full file back with all the information saved with it.
If you don't get a better answer, keep a weather out for when Chris Cox is posting, and bump this thread. 
Good luck

  • Re: Microsoft Word file saved to skydrive, file now won't open on iPad?

    I created a file using the Microsoft Word app on my iPad mini, when coming to save the file on my SkyDrive it took longer than usual, but says on the 'recents' list it identifies the source location of the file within the SkyDrive. However when I click to open the file it begins downloading then says "Sorry we cannot open the file..."
    Is there any way I can retrieve the file? Any help would be appreciated as it has important work on.

    Try renaming the file just (filename).key instead of .key.zip then send and import

  • Archive saved from Safari, file full, won't open in Safari

    I had a page open, and saved it as an archive from Safari 3.2.1 on a dual G4.
    There's data in the archive file, looks fine, but it won't open in Safari - a new tab appears, but the page never fills with any data...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    5.1 is buggy, and the Apple Support Software also has to be uninstalled - and downgraded.
    Better off with 5.0.x for now.
    There are a dozen threads+ about 5.1s issues.
    You can also expect some extensions and plug-ins could also be trouble.
    And manually clean out every sub folder in AppData with Safari (prefs, history, web, etc) when moving to a new version. Same with Firefox 5/6/etc
    I'd make sure to use CCleaner 3.09 and make sure that cleans Safari.

  • Bridge CS4 not recognizing tiff files

    I downloaded an update for camera raw and installed in manually and after this I couldn't open Photoshop.  I then uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 and now bridge will show thumbnails of tiff files but won't open large.  All I see is a generic icon.  How do I get bridge to recognize tiff files.  It recognizes jpgs, and raw files.  I'm using Windows Vista.
    Any help appreciated
    Suzan

    All Raw files are reconnized as all jpgs.  I have my Bridge set up as a film strip with smal thumbnails and if I click on one thumbnail it opens large in preview area.  I can click on a Raw thumbnail and it will display a larger view in bridge then I can open in Camera Raw for preliminary editing.  I cannot do this with tiff files.  I can see them as thumbnails but when I click on them bridge doesn't display a larger image (only a small icon) nor am I given the option of opening in Camera Raw.  I can double click and photoshp regular will open or I can go up to file open with and go to photoshop regular but Bridge willnot allow me to view a larger than thumbnail size pic nor will it give me the option of opening in Camera Raw.  My camera raw preferences are set to "open both jpgs and tiff files with settings".
    Thanks Suzan
    I purged the cashe from one file and it affected all files(all almost 500 gigs).  I'd been working on this for hours.  Thank you and God Bless.

  • Saving large tiff files we see a lot of times the lines in the saved file that have either missing ( white) pixels or they appear as a black line across entire file or portion of it

  • Photoshop CS4 stopped reading CR2 files.  Update failed.

    My Photoshop CS4 quit reading CR2 files from my Canon EOS 5D Mark II.  Photoshop update with new raw version failed.  Please advise.
    And many thanks!

    This screen shot shows the correct path to the appropriate folder in CS4 on the Mac, which is not called "ACR folder" (that must be a Windows thing).
    The version of ACR in the image is older (5.2, obsolete by now), because it's a screen shot from many moons ago.
    The important thing is to start the path in the ROOT LEVEL Library, not your username or home Library:

    Hello,
    Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • Final Cut Pro 6 installed. Now won't open. Help!

    Installed FCP 6 a week ago. Need to edit reel asap. The program now won't open, thus I can't edit. If anyone has ideas on how to solve, extra bonus points and gold stars. Deadline for TV reel was yesterday. Can anyone advise? Have restarted, and tried everything. My clips are all captured and ready to drop, drag and make DVD and link. I'll be up all night... if anyone can assist with this. THX.

    >It's FCP 6 and was fixed by Apple, then doesn't open.
    What's this?
    Did an Apple Store repair your Mac at some point?
    If so, it sounds like they reinstalled the OS and then migrated your applications from the old HD.
    Bad. Bad. BAD.
    The Final Cut Studio installer places many files at system level, some are in folders that are normally invisible to the user. Migration does not bring those files across, so FCP will not work properly and will typically refuse to open.
    Back to the digitalrebellion site for you.
    This time, get a free copy of FCS Remover. Run it and then completely re-install FCS from the original DVD set.

    I think they must be swapping out .html for .chm in DW or something. What the OP describes sure sounds like what happens when you do that.
    @dfiore27101
    DW doesn't support .chm file types. Adding the extension doesn't compress the images into the file to create a true .chm.
    Adding .chm will make a perfectly good .html file stop displaying in DW though.
    An easier way to send someone .html help files would be to archive their folder as a .zip then email the .zip. The recipient would then need to extract the archive to view the files in their browser.
    I don't know of any way to create real .chm files in DW.

    Thanks for the reply with additional information.
    Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
    being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
    that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
    to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
    Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
    But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
    Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
    version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
    a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
    b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
    driver version roll back.
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.

    Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
    later versions of Premiere Elements.

  • Downloaded new version now won't open!!

    Hi
    I downloaded the new version of Itunes tonight having just got hooked back up to broadband. However it now won't open at all saying there is a problem with audio configuration. It doesn't actually tell me what that problem is however and reinstalling does nothing. I don't want to have to remove and reinstall completely as I'd lose all the songs in my library!!
    Is this my only option or does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    The previous version, is not deleted when Pages 5 is installed, just moved to Applications/iWork folder.
    The icons on the dock remain.
    Have you actually looked in your Applications folder for the new version?
    Any documents created by Pages 5 need to be opened by Pages 5.
