Photoshop layer files NOW BROKEN!
After upgrading to Quicktime 7.1.3, I can no longer import Photoshop layered files. They import as Quicktime files NOT Photoshop files.
This is a MAJOR PROBLEM for me as I use layered files for buttons and now the layers DON'T SHOW UP.
I've tested this with three different computers (two with DVDSP 4.0.3, one with version 4.1.1, all with Quicktime 7.1.3) all have the same problem. Opening up older projects and using old photoshop layered files works fine.
This does not appear to be a Photoshop problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
mike
After a recent series of upgrades, I am having several DVDSP issues, including the fact that my .psd overlay file gets automatically transcoded to Quicktime image. I also have Quicktime 7.1.3, as well as OS X.4.8.
I'm also having old projects not open up, however, and an oddity: when I click and drag in the menu window, it won't create an active area bounding box, so I can't create buttons. I don't know if that has to do with the overlay format. There's another recent thread with another user having the same button problem.
Do you also have any of these symptoms?

Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.
You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two. Ask Apple if you don't know how.

Why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option now?
Hi,
why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option for saving .png in Save As diolog box now? It was working fine until yesterday. Neither I can open a .png file nor save my psd file to png file?
Please help. I am using Microsoft Window XP Professional and Photoshop CS4.In Photoshop CS4, .png open/save support was provided by a plug-in. It is possible the plug-in has been deleted or moved, or has become unavailable to Photoshop because of a change in file protections.
Do you have the file PNG.8BI on your system. It should be here on a 32 bit Windows system:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats\PNG.8BI

Had my Nikon D600 recently in for the updated service call. Camera works fine but Photoshop says it cannot open my RAW (NEF) files now? It worked fine before and I have done all my updates.
The only thing I can think of is if you got a replacement D610 as rumored here:
http://nikonrumors.com/2014/01/27/nikon-is-replacing-some-d600-cameras-with-new-d610-model s.aspx/
In that case, you would need the new version of Camera RAW or DNG converter as per Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras .
The other thing to check is if the files open in the Nikon native ViewNX software. If they don't it's time to call the service center. -
Photoshop CS3 is now closing when I attempt to save any file on our network.
Photoshop CS3 is now closing when I attempt to save any file on our network.
This has been occuring for the past few months. I have 8 years with this not happening on this machine and this network. I now have to save to my desktop, then move the file to the correct folder, re-open it and work from there. Any ideas to fix this??Hi Andy,
This workflow might be working for you however it is not the ideal or correct workflow.
Please refer to below article.
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/networks-removable-media-photoshop-cs5.html
Photoshop is not supported while working with network drives. I would recommend an external or a local drive instead.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums. -

Action script for batch-opening psd layer files flat? (alt+shift?)
hi
i am daily batch processing with an action script to make flat tiffs from psd layer files, like 10-100 files every couple of days in my workflow.
until now i could not fine a solution to begin the batch processing-action with opening layer files FLAT.
the reason is: i am working with huge files, 5-20GB .psb files, (16bit, ECI-RGB, 50x100cm, 300dpi) and it takes a couple of seconds to open with my pcie-SSD.
that multiplies the time it takes to open 50 of such files. i would gain a lot of time, if photoshop cs6 would not open it with layers, but flat.
there is a workaround i am using daily: (osx) hold alt+shift, then click on the layer file in the finder and cs6 opens it flat.
but that did not work in the action script. it doesnt store the keyboard command alt+shift.
any idea how i could save time and use the alt+shift command in the action script or any other solution please?
thanks
peterI just tried to record this using ScriptListener, and it didn't record it either. No indo in the ExtendScript SDK on this either. I don't think that this is possible at this time. Maybe someone who know more than I do can find a way.

Drag & drop images from Finder into new Photoshop layer?
Is it possible to drag & drop images from Finder into a new Photoshop layer?
I can do it from a web browser, but not the Finder.>I couldn't find a way to do so in Bridge, but also I never use that program. Never got into Bridge's workflow. >
I really do suggest that you re-visit Bridge especially the CS4 version.
I just cannot conceive of trying to use a Digital camera, a Scanner or the Creative Suite programs without using Bridge and ACR.
I can even use it to read PDFs and inDesign documents (all pages!) without opening Acrobat or InD..
>I usually keep a "work" window open with all the files I am using for a project, so it would be far more handy to be able to skim them in the Finder.
It is now far more effective and efficient to do that in Bridge than in the Finder.
This is where you would find the new Collections feature to be invaluable:
Just select all the images and other files connected to a project from any folder and drag their icons into the same Collection.
You then have all aliases (previewable at full-screen slide-view size with one click of the space bar in CS4) to ALL of your files which are now visible in. and openable from, a single panel. -
Put InDesign layer onto Photoshop layer?
I've made the InDesign layers (footer) on the master page first, and
place the photoshop file onto each page of the document but
the InDesign layer is covered by the photoshop layer.
How could I put the InDesign layer forward?Both images and footer text are now on the same layer, so the usual stacking order is used. Make a new layer for the footer and put that one on top.

Photoshop CS1 files not opening with a double click?
I'm not sure if this is an Adobe related issue, but I recently installed Tiger on my 2005(white/1.33ghz/PPC G4) ibook. With Panther, and with every other OS/application, I was able to double a Photoshop File and have Photoshop open along with the file. Here's what happens now: I double click the photoshop file (any photoshop cs1 file), Photoshop opens, but my file doesn't open. I have to find the file and open it from the menu bar in order to access it. This is very annoying for me as I open Photoshop files more than anything. Here's what I've done: I got info on the Photoshop file to make sure Photoshop CS1 is selected as the host application. Check preferences and settings in Photoshop, (didn't find anything related though, but everything is the way they were when I was on Panther. Possible Obstructions: I also have Photoshop 6 on 0S 9 installed on my computer. I have many filters on this version that I don't on CS1. I don't think this is the reason but I could be wrong. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
-EllzExcept Adobe tells you to reinstall Photoshop (or least that has been their recommendation), which is completely unnecessary. The problem is that this is missing when you do a system upgrade:
"/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types"
Reinstalling Photohop will, of course, create the ScriptingAdditions folder and place the "Adobe Unit Types" file inside it. If you still have your Previous System folder, or a backup of it, or access to another machine with Photohop installed, you can simply put the ScriptingAdditions folder into your /Library folder. If not you can create the ScriptingAdditions folder yourself (note there is NO space in the name), then download and unzip this:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/pdfs/AdobeTypes.zip
and put the "Adobe Unit Types" into the ScriptingAdditions folder.

Excel Files become "Broken" and cannot be opened
Our environment is as follows:
SharePoint 2013 server, web application running in 2010 mode. Our users are primarily on thin clients in a 64-bit Citrix environment running Office 2013 applications. We use a redirected desktop/my documents on a network drive so that users will
have their documents and settings on any computer they log into.
The issue we've run into is that sometimes one of the Excel files becomes "broken" and will no longer open. This seems to be related to when a user has the file open for long periods of time and loses connectivity or if the user's Excel /
session crashes. When the file becomes broken, the symptoms are:
Open document from SharePoint and Excel splash screen reads:
1. Starting...
2. Contacting the Server For Information. (This message lasts ~2 min)
Then an error message in Excel states:
"Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action."
OK
"Could not open 'https://sharepointurl/site/subsite/documentlibrary/document name.xlsx'."
OK
Microsoft Excel cannot access the file
'SameFilePathAsAbove'. There are several possible reasons:
The file name or path does not exist.
The file is being used by another program.
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
OK
Empty workbook
We've had problems determining "who" broke it, but the result is the same - nobody is able to open it, whether using Excel2013, Excel2010, or the Excel Services thru the SharePoint "view in browser" option.
Our terminal servers reboot nightly, we've tried rebooting the 2 SharePoint application servers and the SharePoint SQL server to no avail. It seems like the file is stuck waiting for itself. In some cases, we've found that older versions of the
file can be restored (generally a few versions back) but when versioning is not enabled then that possibility is out.
We cannot seem to resolve where the issue lies at it's core or how to resolve it. This happens much more frequently for the documents that users keep open for long periods of time making modifications to them, but we suspect that's because they are
just more likely to have a SharePoint document open if their computer or Excel client crashes.They don't want us (the dealers) to edit the spreadsheet, but they do want us to read it. It's their pricelist, they wouldn't sell a lot of equipment if we couldn't see how much it costs! The point is that Numbers won't even open a spreadsheet that is edit protected, not read protected. This is a major issue, it should at the very least tell me I can open or import the sheet as a read only.
Excel will always open the spreadsheet, it just can't make changes to it.
For right now, when I need to get information from the pricelist in Excel, I have to copy and paste the info from the edit protected page to another blank sheet. This is a royal PITA because the Excel pricelist has 50 plus pages. I have been officially told to do that by my manufacturer. But they won't give anyone the password to unprotect the edit function of the sheet. Go figure. -
I have an ipad I used with a computer which's now broken. I bought a new Macbook Pro and signed into iTunes with my usual Apple id and pw. I connected my ipad to the new Macbook but it won't back up my photos or Apps from the ipad to the new macbook. Help
What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
