Photoshop cs6 ,file corrupt what should i do?

hi
in myeventviewer i found C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp pim.db   is corrupt
i guess i run AdobeDownloadAssistant.exe , i stopped and i get this files corripted
can i delete it ?
honestly i don't want to make a clean install of cs6 or reinstall windows 7 sp1 64bit
thanks

I have no experience fixing this kind of problem, but these things come to mind...
In Windows Explorer, navigate to the PDApp folder, right-click on the file, choose Properties, and click your Previous Versions tab.  Are there any previous versions saved in restore points or backups that you could try to restore?
Do you do backups through a 3rd party application?  You could retrieve the file from a backup made at a time when it was working.
Adobe suggests that reinstalling the product is necessary on this page:
Installation, launch log errors | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CCM
However, before doing that you could try renaming it to something like pim.db_corrupt  to see if it will just regenerate the file itself.
As with most problems, it wouldn't hurt to try a reboot.

  • Photoshop CS6 file corruption

    I am running Photoshop CS6 on a brand new Macbook Pro 13 inch. I haven't even had this computer for 24 hours yet.
    I restored my old Macbook Pro's data onto it via a time machine backup, and everything is running perfectly.
    Except for photoshop CS6.
    I was working on a project and the file suddenly became corrupted. I closed it without saving and reopened the file, and it was still corrupted. I cannot fix it.
    I didn't think to screenshot what had happened, but what it looked like was something like this: IMAGE

    This happened on my old Macbook Pro as well. I thought maybe it was a hardware issue on the old laptop, but now I think it's something else, considering it just happened on my brand new laptop.
    Any ideas on how to repair this would be greatly appreciated! I am doing finals work for school and two of the projects are to be done in Photoshop. I can NOT afford to have this glitch happen to my work again.

    Have you been keeping up with the updates on PS CS6? While Adobe isn't adding new features to CS6 (as they are to CC) they are keeping up with maintenance issues, bug fixes, etc.
    If I were you, I would head to the Adobe Photoshop forum and see if you can find a fix -> http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop: a lot more CS6 users there.
    Good luck,

    I am trying to use the brightness adjustment on a grayscale photoshop CS6 file.  The preview shows the adjustment working and changes the brightness, but when you click to apply the change, it does not apply the adjustment.  I have run into this problem before, although rarely, with some other files over the years and with earlier versions of CS.  I would like to know how to overcome this problem?

    Make sure you are viewing your image at 100%. At smaller views, pixels and layers and the way they interact are approximate interpolations and won't show you the actual pixel-for-pixel changes.

  • Editing Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6

    I need to edit a Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6. Specifically, I am editing a business card and want to make changes to the layered components (for example: changing color hues, changing logo, changing fonts) and I know nothing about InDesign. Can anyone give me some pointers?

      The thing is, I don’t have Photoshop or Illustrator; I only have InDesign CS6 and I want to do the following:
    Deepen the colors
    Swap the logo for another one
    Change the font
    I am not able to access the layers because I used the place function to insert the jpeg file in the InDesign document. I remember once being able to access the layered document, but I don't remember how. I tried opening the Photoshop file using InDesign, but it doesn't come up as a readable file.

  • Adobe App Manager - Photoshop CS6 Download Corrupt

    After clicking install, Photoshop CS6 will get to about 62% done, when it stops, says there is an error, that the file is corrupt, and that I should try again in a few minutes. Been trying all day with no different results.
    Is there a cache I need to clear?

    Hi FireBert85,
    A workaround is to download/install the Photoshop CS6 trial and then license it as part of Creative Cloud

  • Photoshop CS6 - files compatible with all CS versions?

    I create designs with Photoshop CS6. Oftentimes they include clipping masks, layers, groups ... . Will my client be able to modify the design with every CS version? Are my designs (made with CS6) 100% compatible with very old CS versions, too?  Or should he/she own a newer version of Photoshop CS?
    Thank you much!

    Yes, you have to worry about compatibility. Groups within groups within groups have changed considerably over the years. Before CS3, you could even only have one group level at the root level of the document, no nested groups. That has been expanded ever since. Likewise, per-group masks, clipping paths and layer styles have only been introduced in CS5/ CS6. There's a couple of other things as well like CS6 having changed the order of certain layer styles, but you get the idea. I'm sure if you read some articles or the online help's "What's New" sections for each version, you wil lget the full picture. As long as you avoid these specialty cases and keep your document simple and save it with teh "Maximize Compatibility" option, most files should open in one way or another even in older versions, but there's simply no way to guarantee that each and every bit will be fully editable otehr than in the same version it was originally created.

  • Photoshop CS6 file saved thumbnail makes file blank??

    Hello,
              I've recenlty seen this problem, the file i process in adobe photoshop CS6 comes blank and the previous thumbnail also disappear. I've checked the settings in finder and adobe photoshop cs6 but i didn't change anything there. Can any one help??
    i need to submit wedding pictures but blank thumbnail makes me lost track of pictures. I'm attaching a picture below, the first row is what i've processed with adobe photoshop cs6 and the thumbnail disappeared.

    I have to make a lot of color corrections because this is film taken from the early 40s to the early 50s. I tried doing it in Avid Studio, Pinnicle studeo and Corel Draws Video Studeo which is what Avid Studio became. None of them alow for the amount of correction allowed in Photoshop. I already owned Photoshop 5 so I upgraded to 6 to take advantage of its advances in video. The plan was to break the converted files up in smaller peices so that Photoshop could handle it and use Premier Pro perhaps to do other post production editing. The origional avi files are a movie about 1 hr and 15 min long and another one about 45 min long. The CODEX is MJPG in avi.

  • I want to transfer my Windows files from my Clickfree external drive to my new iMac. iMac recognizes the drive but won't read the files. What should I do? My PC hard drive is dead so I can't hook up my iMac to that.

        I'm switching from Windows to iOS. But my new iMac won't allow me to transfer my Windows files on my Clickfree HD425 over to the iMac. It initialy didn't even recognize my hard drive during set up, so I manually went through Finder where it recognized the Clickfree drive. But my files wouldn't appear. I can't go back to my original Windows computer because the hard drive crashed, and that's why I bought this new iMac in the first place. What should I do? As a Mac newbie who was reluctant to exit the Windows world, I don't want my original babystep into the iOS world soured by my first experience.

  • Photoshop CS6 files are compatable with CC files

    My college is using photoshop CS6 and I have installed photoshop CC. I was told that files are not compatable between the two.

    Standard Photoshop PSD files can be backwards compatible (with the caveats mentioned) – here is a test of saving back from CC to CS6 & CS5:
    http://davecrossworkshops.com/2013/05/10/moving-files-backwards-photoshop-cc
    There are also some practices you can use to increase compatibility between versions, not just for Photoshop but for all the Adobe CC apps.
