Photoshop Question Layered File

Hey, I have a question. I have never had a client ask me this but he told me if he paid me for a ad can I give him the layered file after? He need to make banners and large format printing...I have google up what is layered file, and it doesn't seem to give me the answer. I am wondering if he meant like editing the photo with tranparents background that is by itself and not paste on the ad? or if he mean when I finished the ad and save as it is and not flatten the layers?

What you client wants is the file not flattened, so he can avoid paying you to do the banners. If you give him the unflattened file, but sure to charge more than you would for the flattened one, because you are giving him not just a finished ad, but all the pieces to create new works from it.
And, of course you can't legally give him any fonts you used, so rasterize any text layers before handing it over.

  • Photoshop CS layered files ok in CS5?

    Does anyone know if there are problems opening layered files from Photoshop CS in CS5? I'm about to upgrade and need to know if the layered TIFFs and PSDs I created in CS will open as layers in CS5.

    Keep in mind you don't strictly have to remove CS when you install CS5.  They can both coexist - just not be run at the exact same time.  That can give you some confidence that you'll be able to open the older files with CS if you need to.  In other words, you don't have to get everything exactly right ahead of time.

  • Photoshop CC layered files preview

    Hey guys
    I'm having alot of issues with thumbnail previews in Finder ever since I updated to Mavericks. Basically, any TIF-files that include layer masks won't show a preview at all in Finder. I just get the static TIF-file graphics, but no actual preview. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I have enabled to maximise compatability in photoshop, and all the files are either 16 or 18 bit files.

  • Photoshop CS6 program error saving layered files

    I recently updated my adobe software and I am still getting issues with saving layered files. I keep gettting program error - only occasionally. Sometimes saving to my desktop works and other times it doesnt. Other coworkers are experiencing same thing ever since they updated. It happens when working on a layered file for any length of time and need to save it out as a layered photoshop file. We are forced to flatten and save as a tif and loose our layers. I think it has something to do with background task but not sure...

    Drag the file to your desktop, open the file there, do your edits, save, and then drag back.
    Let us know what you are working off. If server, what server software are you using. System preferences >> spotlight, uncheck all items.

  • An old question re: "file not compatible with this version of Photoshop"

    Hi All. I'm a new member of forum with an old question.
    Running:
    MAC OSX 10.3.9
    G5
    Dual 1.8 Ghz
    1.5 GB DDR SDRAM
    Norton Autoprotect
    Nortons Firewall
    Antivrus 9.0.4
    Liveupdate 3.0.3
    CS2
    MAC is kept clear of clutter and has plenty of space in all areas. Everything is stored on Xternal HD.
    In recent weeks I have been receiving the above error message when trying to open existing CS2 layered files.
    I have searched forums including these and tried everything which has been suggested: Shut down Nortons. Worked only from HD. No  networks. Tried opening with PS 7 in Classic. IR. Illustrator. Graphic Convertor. Changed to .tif, .tiff.
    Opening files with CS is one thing I have not tried, I have not been able to find a version of 8 anywhere to buy or download.
    I have not had any success recovering layered files, it seems that once a file has corrupted in this way there is little or no chance of recovery.
    Having rebuilt many complex files from scratch I am naturally concerned I will have the same trouble with those. To try and avoid problems my latest files are made up of simple CMYK photographic images in multiple layers - no text, no smart layers, no groups.
    But a simple file made yesterday gave me same error message today.
    So today I have started saving many versions of the same file, an RGB version (so I can possible open in IR), a different name, a version as a tif, a psd, I'm keeping a version on HD which i am working on, and numerous other versions on a LACIE Xternal HD.
    Does anyone have any idea at which point in the process the file actually corrupts? Is it during saving or when sitting on HD, or is it during the opening process? Or is while working on the file?
    Some discussions suggest that if you are able to  actually open a file, a corrupt layer is found and deleted and this resolves the problem.
    If there are a number of saved versions of same file, is it likely that they will all be corrupt or might some be ok?
    I am considering upgrading to a new, more powerful MAC and a later version of PS. Does the same error crop up on these later versions? Most of the forum discussions go back a couple of years so does that mean some of these issues have been resolved in recent months?
    I imagine that it may be the opposite, ie, the more complex the programme becomes and the more virus protection etc we put on our MACS the more likely there will be problems.
    A lot of questions (and line spacing!), for which I apologise, but any thoughts or up to date comments would be very welcome.
    Thanks
    Paul

    i havent had nortons running for sometime to try and avoid this ps
    problem and although i cant really be sure there dont appear to be have
    been any virus problems.
    except of course the ps error. which is occurring with or without
    nortons turned on. i may uninstall it and see if that helps.
    bearing in mind that i am not working over networks do you think this
    issue is a ps bug pure and simple or as a result of some combo of other
    programme such as nortons affecting ps. in other words would a mac only
    running ps still encounter the same errors?

  • Importing Photoshop layered files to Motion

    I'm having issues importing Photoshop layered files to Motion. When the file appears in the viewer, text or the shapes in the Photoshop file have changed colors. It's almost like motion doesn't recognize a gradient color in the text or shape. I've tried rasterizing the layer but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    hopefully above fixed that! not to hijack, but group layer labels don't seem to imported properly into apple products. is this due to the apple-adobe wars? i am anal so all my photoshop layers are grouped with some organization, but in motion it looks like a mess. thx,

  • Camera Raw edits are permanent in layered file, therefore "destructive"

    I use scanned 35mm TIFF files and DNG digital files, converted from Nikon NEF files. I edit in Photoshop CS3. I use adjustment layers in Photoshop to retain the ability to revise as needed (the "nondestructive" route). To date I have used Camera Raw sparingly due to the fact that I cannot effectively change those edits once the file is converted to a layered PSD file. I say "effectively" because I guess it would be possible to reconstruct the file by editing the original DNG file containing the Camera Raw edits and add the layers added in Photoshop (some of the layers would probably not transfer effectively, e.g. spotting layers). However I do not think that that is a viable procedure.
    Much is made of the nondestructive nature of Camera Raw edits. However, this appears to me to be illusory since one cannot open the layered file in Camera Raw. Among other books I have read the Fraser/Schewe books on Camera Raw and sharpening. The advice contained in those books are, in part, directly contradictory, i.e. they advise (1) to make all possible edits in Camera Raw since the edits are "nondestructive" and essential to obtaining the best quality file; and (2) always doing sharpening, except for any capture sharpening done in Camera Raw, on a sharpening layer. Well, one cannot accomplish both of these objectives. Once the file is converted to the layered PSD file say goodbye to the opportunity to change the Camera Raw edits.
    So my questions are: 1. Have I missed something? Am I wrong about the inability to change the Camera Raw edits after the file is made into a layered PSD? If there is an effective way to do this, how do I do it? 2. What is your workflow for preserving the ability to undo your edits and how do you balance the workflow between Camera Raw and Photoshop? I find it a bit frustrating that the experts write these books, advocating the glory of nondestructive edits but fail to even comment on the fact that that ability disappears the moment a layer is added in Photoshop (an editing step they also insist is absolutely essential).
    I will appreciate any assistance you are able to offer.

    Please read carefully:
    1.  NOTHING is "destructive" if you do not save over your original file.
    2.  Bearing in mind #1 above, there is no evil in developing input data into an image in which pixel values are set per the controls in Camera Raw.  That's what Camera Raw does best!
    Learning from others is great, but keep in mind sometimes people have an agenda in what they teach and "rules of thumb" like "avoid destructive edits like the plague" are developed to start you off in the right direction.  I'm just saying use your common sense as well.

  • Photoshop CC corrupt file, red bar glitch

    I'm working in photoshop CC and a number of my files have a red semi transparent bar running across the bottom of the frame. I've deleted various layers and effects and it hasn't changed anything. Any advice?
    Example:
    [Moved from the generic Cloud forum to the specific Program forum... Mod]

    Is there a layer like that or are you perhaps getting into quick mask mode some how? Capture the layers palette when posting Photoshop questions. With what you have posted we have no idea as to what your document layer structure is...

  • Muse doesn't seem to see Photoshop Adjustment Layers

    I like to place Photoshop files in Muse, so I can quickly edit a non-destructive format, instead of a JPEG. I recently noticed that some placed Photoshop files were markedly more dull in Muse than they appear in Photoshop.
    Opening the Muse-created web page and comparing it with an open Photoshop file, it appears that Muse is not honoring my top layers, which are Photoshop Adjustment Layers.

    As much as I believe that Muse is not really fit for purpose yet, I do not have the issues you are encountering with Opera.

  • Opening Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2 (Mac Tiger 10.411)

    Is it possible to open Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2? After I created them in Photoshop CS3 I reset the preferences to maximize compatibility "always", then I resaved all the psd files. Do you think this will work? I have to open them in CS2 tomorrow at work...

    Also, some old features may have changed in the new version. Specifically, I had some CS3 files from a client that had smart objects that did not open correctly in CS2.
    As I recall, CS2 was able to open a flattened version of the file, just not fully layered with smart objects.
    I actually had CS3 on my laptop, just not on the tower I wanted to work on, so I opened the files on the laptop, rasterized the smart objects, and saved. After this, CS2 opened the files with layers.

  • How to open your Photoshop Touch project file in Photoshop

    How to open your Photoshop Touch project file in Photoshop
    When your files are stored in the Creative Cloud, you can access them on your mobile device using Adobe Photoshop Touch, or on your desktop computer using Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop Touch can open files in the following formats: PSD*, PSDX, PNG, JPG, and GIF. And, with a free plug-in for Photoshop CS5, CS5.1, and CS6 you can open the PSDX files created by Photoshop Touch in Photoshop.
    [Note: PSD files can only be opened via the Adobe Creative Cloud. The file is converted,  layers are flattened to a single layer, and  other info that is only supported in Photoshop is removed.]
    Download the plug-in (if you have CS6, skip this section)
    1. If you have CS5 and CS5.1, you are required to download a plug-in to be able to open your PSDX files in Photoshop. If you have CS6, you are not required to download the plug-in (it is native within the version). In a browser on your desktop computer, navigate to the Creative Cloud Homepage ( https://creative.adobe.com ). Sign-in to Creative Cloud using your Adobe ID, then navigate to the Creative Cloud Apps & Services page (https://creative.adobe.com/apps).
    2. Click download under “Touch App Plug-ins” to start the download and install process. Included with the installer is a plug-in for Illustrator CS6, which enables opening of Ideas files (.idea) in Illustrator, and a plug-in for Photoshop CS5 and 5.1, which enables opening of Photoshop Touch files (.psdx) in Photoshop.
    3. You will be asked (if you haven't already) to install the Adobe Application Manager. Follow the steps to install the manager, and the Touch App Plugin should begin the download and installation process. If it does not, click install next to the “Touch App Plugins” icon in the Adobe Application Manager to start the process.
    4. You're all set to start opening your PS Touch files in Photoshop CS6.
    To save a Photoshop Touch file for upload to the cloud.
    1. Launch Photoshop Touch and ensure that you are in the organizer view. (Tap Done in the upper-left corner of the screen to move from edit view to the organizer view.)
    2. Tap to display the share menu.
    3. Select the file(s) to upload
    4. Select the file format to upload to the cloud. Then tap OK.
    5. Once you save the file format, you have a choice to e-mail the file as a attachment, or save a copy. By pressing cancel, it still can be uploaded to the cloud.
    Uploading PS Touch files to the cloud.
    1. Tap the settings button in the top right corner.  Then tap My Account.
    2. Tap Sign in. Sign in with your Adobe ID. To obtain an Adobe ID, go to : https://www.adobe.com/account/sign-in.adobedotcom.html. Once you are signed in, the total storage available in your Creative Cloud is displayed.
    Sync your Photoshop Touch files to the Creative Cloud.
    1. Tap the Creative Cloud icon. Make sure the Sync files toggle is switched to the on position.
    2. When Creative Cloud sync is turned on, you can see your files being synced to your Creative Cloud account.
    Open a Photoshop Touch file in Photoshop
    1. On your desktop computer, launch a browser and navigate to the Creative Cloud website. When you are signed in, navigate to your Photoshop Touch file. Click to select the file.
    2. Tap the download button in the top right corner.
    3. When the download dialog button pops up, select PSD. Once the file has been downloaded, you can open in Photoshop (CS5, CS5.1, CS6) on your desktop.
    4. When the file is opened in Photoshop, it displays its layers (Note: that if the file is dragged and dropped, and NOT downloaded, it will not display the layers).

    Lightroom 5.3 should be able to open D600 RAW photos.
    The problem is most likely that you used some version of Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer. This interferes with Lightroom's ability to read the files. If the files are still on your camera card, use Lightroom to directly access them from the camera card. If they are not on your camera card, you can still fix the files, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/6181267#6181267

  • Can i convert a non layered file to a layered file bases on used colors?

    can i convert a non layered file to a layered file bases on used colors?

    I have heard questions like this before.
    Some people seem to think that each colour should be on a separate layer.
    I hope you are not one of them, because it is a complete misconception and defeats the object of Illustrator’s object stacking system.
    Why do you think you need to collect objects of the same colour onto separate layers?

    bring up the tool and a photoshop project file

    File Export is disabled
    try may other files, get same result

    I have no idea what it has ever been used for (Save As usually being the route to export to a different format), but it exists and is greyed out in PSE12 as well. I suspect a hangover from an old version.

  • "Place into Photoshop" with multiple files

    I'd love to see this feature in Bridge
    Import multiple files into an existing photoshop file (with a predetermined size ) as smart object layers in photoshop.
    The options that Bridge currently offers falls short in 2 area
    Load Files into Photoshop Layers-- does not import smart objects and creates a new photoshop file that ends up being as large as the largest imported file
    Place into Photoshop--only lets you do one at a time
    I need "Place into Photoshop" with multiple files
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks!!

    I agree, placing multiple files into your PSD as smart objects all at once like InDesign would be a great (and logical) feature for Photoshop to have. The only "workaround" I have is to create a shortcut using Ctrt+Alt+Shift+D (which is not used by anything), so you can place pictures/graphics more quickly, rather than using the menu each time.
