Photoshop CS6 PSD losing layers

Hi, my Photoshop CS6 PSDs are getting flattened if opened by any previous versions of Photoshop, depsite not being saved just opened. When I open the original in CS6 again, all layers are merged. Where there were 12 layers, there is now one. This is causing loads of problems. Please advise.

Yes, thank you, Conroy. Now I think of it that was the true basis behind my post above. It wasn't that the Save As PDF operation had flattened the image, it was that it had turned off the option Conroy showed for subsequent operations.
You can reproduce it like this:
1. Open a layered document.
2. Save As - PDF, disable Preserve Editing Capabilities.
3. Save As - PSD, note that the above mentioned checkbox is now OFF.
This is a nasty gotcha, and while the little caution symbol is there it's not that noticeable. Maybe Adobe should draw the red border around it as we have done.

I am trying to save a photoshop CS6 psd file to jpg and get an option jpg, jpg2000 or jpg stereo, I choose jpg and then Mac 256 colours, normal or interlaced. I just want regular jpg with a high resolution. What am I doing wrong, never had this problem

Your description of the issue is not clear:
What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"? It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
If the image is a 256-color GIF, remember the rule: GIGO = garbage in, garbage out.

Photoshop CS6 .psd files help

Hi, I am new on here so please excuse if this is posted in the wrong area, I have no idea where to post this.
I Have Photoshop CS6 Extended (on Windows 7 - 64bit).
But it does not open my .psd files, only if I run Photoshop CS6 and go File > Open > "and then open the file", it will open, but If I go to the file it self it does not recognize CS6 as the default program or to open it. It tells me it cannot find a program to open the .psd file with. I have tried several times to set the Default Program but it is not even there and if I click on "browse" to find Photoshop and click "open" it does not open or show Photoshop in the Default Programs.
Now I accidently clicked on coreldraw and I don't want my .psd files opening with coreldraw! because I hardly use coreldraw, I only needed it for my studies...
When I had CS5 it worked and opened fine, with CS6 the .psd files just don't find Photoshop.
Can anyone help me please, how can I fix this so that my .psd files get recognized?
Please it is quite frustrating.
Thanks.

You can either uninstall and run Adobe script cleaner and then reinstall CS6 or do a registry change.
See this link, and for registry change see post # 9. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1004672?tstart=0

Every time Photoshop CS6 is updated it loses the ability to process RAW files

I have had no trouble with PHotoshop CS6 for several years. Then I bought a copy of Dreamweaver CS6, which on installation destroyed all records of every other Adobe product that I have. It also stopped Photoshop CS6 from handling RAW files. So I reinstalled them. All of them. And then they could see and process RAW files again.
The Adobe Updater got to work after the next log on, downloaded a huge bolus of software and now Photoshop cannot handle RAW once again. This is truly annoying and becoming expensive. Has anyone had a similar experience?
I note that teh Dreamweaver product is not listed on my registered product list here on line, and when I tried to register it, the system refused, saying that it was registered as a part of a 'systems purchase', or some such. I bought it as a download from an on-line retailer.

That certainly sounds like bogus software. I'd get rid of it (and do a clean reformat/reinstall of everything in case it has planted some malware in your system).

PhotoShop CS6 .psd file currpt/not open :( my lots hard work

Hi Friends,
Today Accidentally my photoshop has closed at that time i am working on my demo template work from last 2 months, so again i open my .psd file thier is error prompt “could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop”.
Several time i try but it can’t open my .psd file. if anyone face this type problem or have any solution to solve this i will be very thankful to you, of-course its my two months hard work.
Thanks

Here's a good trick that's works in many cases. You'll be using Fireworks to open, and re-save the Photoshop file. This will fix most corruptions.
Open the corrupt Photoshop file in Fireworks.
Use Fireworks to save it as a .psd Photoshop file. (Important: Do Not save it as a Fireworks file or another extension, because Photoshop may not recognize the layers, or you could lose data.)
Remember to give your file a different name when saving, so you won't overwrite your original. (A good idea would be to create a backup of your original before trying this procedure.)
Open your newly created file in Photoshop.
Remember that many effects will not show in Fireworks, but should show up in the Photoshop layers.
If it doesnt work, try to look at the answer here: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/photoshop/590-restoring-a-corrupted-ps d-file

Photoshop CS6 PSDs into After Effects CS5.5

Hi there,
Our graphics department have recently upgrade Photoshop to CS6 version 13.0 x64. I am trying to open a .psd file they have created in After Effects CS5.5 version 10.5.1.2. However I get the following message:
'After Effects error: could not open (.psd name) because it is not a valid Photoshop document. ( 51 :: 19 )'
Is there any way they can save their photoshop files differently so that they will open or do I need to upgrade to After Effects CS6?
Thanks in advance for the help.
(wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the photoshop forum - thought I would try here first though)

I've never encountered such an issue, and switch between both versions regularly. On the machine I'm working on right now I have CS6 Creative Cloud installed, but do most of my AE work in CS5 or 5.5 because the clients I'm working for haven't upgarded yet. But all my PSD work is done in CS6.
Is there anything unusual in the file, ie 3D content? As Mylenium says, PS 3D has changed and is no longer supported by AE. Otherwise, are you moving between platforms, ie Windows to Mac? Does the file have a valid PSD extension?

Photoshop cs6 .psd file extension

Hello, if you create an image and it has a .psd file extension. Do you have to download software to view the .psd file extension. Or can if easily be converted to a .jpeg. On my mac I can see the image. At work a windows machine it's asking me to find a program that can view a .psd. I was hoping to convert it to something that will open easily. Thanks!

Here is what I did. I took a picture from the internet and created a new file in photoshop. Then I added some layers for background, and text. Now, the image has 4 layers. It's basically a banner for a title of a page. It has a .psd format. I emailed the photo to myself here at work. I can not open the file. What started this is: If I use this new .psd file I have created and used it in dreamweaver. When someone opens the webpage will that .psd file open for them to see the image? This is why I have been thinking that I need to convert it to a different format. I'm Sorry! I hope this clears up what I am trying to do. Thanks!

Photoshop CS6, Adjustment Layers: where are the graphs?

I am new to CS6, though I used to use CS on my old computer. If I open an image and select Image/Adjustments/Curves (or Layers), I get the large graph on a white background that I am familiar with from CS. But if I select Layers/New Adjustment Layer/Curves (or Layers) and I have Properties showing, I only see a very small version, not very practical to use, of the graph on a black background. I have been unable in this situation (i.e. with an adjustment layer) to find a way of making the large graph appear. I should be very grateful for advice.
In case it is relevant, my new computer is a Mac mini (Intel) with OS 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion).

Hi,
You can resize the Properties panel so it's bigger by grabbing on one of the bottom corners and also dock the properties panel ouside the main panels.
There is also the Curves Display Options for other settings pertaining to way the graph shows and double clicking on the curves layer thumbnail should open the properties panel if it's closed.
You can also set the photoshop interface color in Photoshop>Perferences>Interface.

Photoshop cs6 psd saved file video display is degraded from original imported file

I have had some 16mm film converted to avi 1900 by 1080 pixels, 72 pixels/inch. Photoshop displays it ok. Then when I save the file as a psd and open it again the quality of the video displayed is deteriorated from the origional. Then no matter how it is rendered, it deteriates further. I am using a windows 7 computer. I have tried this with an Nvidia Quatro 1800 card and an Nvidia Gforce 760 card.
Why does not photoshop at least keep the quality of the video as origional in a psd file? I can understand offering to degrade the display for faster display, but not the rendering degradation. I have tried rendering at H.264 High Quality and DPX full range 8 bit, they both degrade the quality, even though the origional avi file is also 8 bit depth. Rendering degrades the colors considerably.
Where can I get information on what is going on in photoshop 6 as to how to control how it saves a psd file and more control of the rendered color depth?

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.

How do you save a Photoshop CS6 psd file as a template?

Trying to save a psd file as a template so the original cannot be altered or saved over. How do you do this?

Thanks - that is perfect. Also found a "read only" option for all. So you have to do a "SAVE AS" and can't write over the original.
Thanks again.

Photoshop CS6 - All Layers updating

Hi
I have copied the Background Layer and deselected this. I have then made adjustments to the copied Layer and when I commit the Background Layer will change as well. I then created a New Layer and selected only this one, but then all layers were changed. Please can you help as to what I may have missed. I cannot seem to find anything that will work,
Thanking you
Anne

Hello,
Are you using Adjustment Layers? (those will affect all layers below it by default)
If you clip the Adjustment Layer (Layer>Create Clipping Mask) then it will only affect the layer immediately below.
or
Are you viewing at 100% (View>Actual Pixels)?
In many cases of Adjusting, you need to view at 100% to see exactly how your image is changing.

Problems opening multiple images as layers from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS6

I'm having trouble bringing multiple photos from Lightroom 4 into Photoshop CS6 as layers. In LR4, I select the multiple photos I want to bring in, right click and from the pop-up menu select "Edit In", then "Open as Layers In Photoshop...". Photoshop CS6 then opens but the photos do not load in. I then get an error in LR4 about a minute later that says "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." However Photoshop just opened before I got the error. How do I fix this?

Maybe a keyboard issue - shortcut key toggling multiple times. But, if you're sure your keyboard is fine, then try this:
Reset LR preferences:Windows 7/ Vista: The preference setting file is Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs, in C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\. Rename/ move this file to a different location. LR will recreate preferences during next launch. See if this fixes the issue. The reason we're renaming or moving it is so that if it doesn't fix the error, you can move it back there so you don't have to recreate your in-application preferences again
Reset Photoshop preferences: Follow instructions here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
See if either or one of the above suggestions works.

Photoshop CS6 3D disabled

Yesterday I signed up for Adobe Creative Cloud and delightedly started exploring the 3D features in Photoshop CS6. It worked perfectly well and there were no crashes.
This morning the Adobe Application Manager said there was an upgrade for Photoshop CS6 with "New Features". While it was downloading I watched some 3D tutorials.
Then when I opened a file in Photoshop with the intention of putting what I'd learned into practice, I got the following message:
"Photoshop has detected graphics hardware that is not officially supported for 3D, and has temporarily disabled 3D functionality. Updating the driver of your graphics card may resolve the issue.
Check the manufacturer's website for the latest software."
I have an iMac with an NVIDIA geforce 9400 256mb graphics card. It therefore cannot be upgraded as it is built-in, nor is there any sign of updated software either from Apple nor NVIDIA.
So this is my introduction to the Adobe Creative Cloud. Something works for one day and then is "upgraded" and ceases to do so!

If it's any consolation, you're not the first person to be affected by this change in hardware requirement between dot releases.

The blog post (first link) says
"Please note: The system requirements for Photoshop CS6 Extended have always indicated that you need 512 MB of vRAM, but this wasn’t a hard enforcement."
I can only see subtleties like that (then enforcing the requirement in a subsequent dot release so that functionality is suddenly disabled for some customers) creating grief and confusion for customers, as your post indicates.
The engineering effort is to be applauded but the timing and execution of introducing the new requirements is poor.

Change Color Selecting Layers in PSE10 for a Drawing from Photoshop CS6 (non-photo) .PSD file?

Hi Everyone,
I have a drawing that was created in Photoshop CS6 (non-photo) and saved as a .PSD file. I am able to open the file in PSE10 and see the drawing and select the layers. I am having trouble with figuring out how to change the colors on each layer in PSE10. When I select a layer where do I go to change the color of that layer? Can this be done in PSE10 as this a drawing created in Photoshop CS6 and not a photo?
TIA,
ClearInk8

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Here are the steps I have tried.
I made sure the RGB Color (Image>Mode) was selected.
I selected the star layer
Next I selected Layer>Created Clipping Mask
Then I selected Color blend mode
Then I selected Solid Color
When I choose a color the entire canvas fills with the solid color and covers up the drawing.
What step am I missing?
The small red square outline you have next to the orange color box in the color fill layer I am not see this small icon.
