Photoshop Suddenly Stopped Opening Files

Suddenly Photoshop CC will not open any files. I was in the middle of processing photos, finished one up, saved it and tried to open a new file... and nothing. No error message. When I try to open a file, Photoshop lets me browse to the file and click on it, but then nothing happens. I've tried using Lightroom (which works just fine) to "edit in Photoshop" and Photoshop opens, but the photo never loads or even acts like it is loading. I've tried RAW files and JPEGS. Other editing software on my computer opens photos just fine. This happened BEFORE I installed the most recent Windows updates, so it's not that. I uninstalled Photoshop CC and re-installed. I've restarted my computer. I've completely shut down my computer and restarted. Nothing works and I've got 35 photos to edit by tomorrow morning. $9.99 a month sounded like an awesome deal, but my old CS4 was at least reliable. I'm on Windows 7. I do not have apps running. Nothing changed in the 10 minutes when I edited a photo and saved it and tried to open another one. There is no malware on the computer. And the only suggestion I've seen in the forums so far is to re-install the OS- which is ridiculous. I'll uninstall Photoshop and move to GIMP before I reinstall my entire OS because Photoshop suddenly quit.
Suggestions?

Restart your computer to make sure you have a nice clean working environment.  Open Task Manager, and try to open a JPG.  Do you see any clues under the Task manager Processes tab?  Any double instances of the same process, for instance?
Is anything else opening with Photoshop?  Plugins, or extensions?  Do you still have Photoshop CC 14.2 installed and have you tried it?  That might get you past the current rush job.

  • Photoshop CS6 stopped saving file extensions

    I am running PhotoShop CS6 on Mac Yosemite 10.10.2.  Photoshop suddenly stopped saving file extensions.  I can open the files saved on my computer, but others cannot because the file extension is missing.  Under preferences > file handling > append file extension, "always" is selected.  It doesn't matter which file format PSD, JPEG, PNG, etc., the file extension is not saved.  I have the capability to view the file, but if I send it to someone else, or if I save it to dropbox and download it back to my computer, the image cannot be viewed.

    Try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

  • How do I get Adobe Photoshop to stop scanning files?

    Louie,
    You need to give us a few more details... Your post left me for one

  • Light Room 5 has suddenly stopped importing files.

    My LR5 has suddenly stopped importing files. I've tried creating a new catalog and nothing.
    Why is this happing and how can I fix it?

    Hi, I had the same problem since yesterday. Apperently LR made a subdirectory on my destination-drive, which wasn't accesable for LR.
    By reselecting my destination (in the upper-right corner) everything works fine again.
    I can't explain the cause for this, because the problem occured when I wanted to import the second out of 3 sets of pictures I wanted to import.
    The first set gave no problem at all, and the second one, just a few minutes later caused me all this trouble of desperatly seeking for an answer.
    Hope it will be usefull for you as well.

    My iPhone 5 suddenly stopped opening the Apple Mail app.  It had worked flawlessly for years, but just stopped.  It worked on my iPad, and of course on the computer.  What's going on, and how do I fix it?  I've turned the phone on and off several times, soft reset several times.  There was no change in any settings when this happened, nor any new apps were added.  Thank you for any help you can give.

    Does it not work either way? Sending and receiving? Did you check the settings and make sure that nothing has changed? If you can receive email, but not send it, check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    Hi,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues. Which tablet is it exactly that you are using?
    Which Android version do you have on it?
    It would be good if you could give us a screen shot of what you are seeing.
    Would it be possible for you to share the file that you cannot open?
    You could send it to me privately.
    Could you also please let us know what you were doing before the file got corrupted?
    From which version did you upgrade by the way?
    Thanks,
    Ignacio

  • Why did my downloads to my Mac suddenly stop opening up after downloading?

    I bought a MacBook Pro about a week ago and everything has been going great!  Once I got past the Photoshop serial number issue, editing photos has been amazing compared to the pc I was using prior.  I was able to download my add-ons and everything was working until all of a sudden when I went to download more photoshop software, my downloads stopped opening up.  It is not just the downloads from a certain source, it is any download, .dmg and pse.  Any ideas??  Thank you!!

    Gwenmary considering that you were previously receiving messages to input a serial number it sounds like you are facing connectivity difficulties.  I would recommend completing the steps in Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html to allow you to download and activate the Adobe Creative software included with your membership.

  • My photoshop will not open files or create new files, please help?

    Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 will not work,
    When machine is first started the program works, for about 10 mins, then
    I can not open files, create new ones. When it does work it can not perform functions like transform etc.
    I tried disabling third party plug ins
    I tried creating a new account on my machine
    Nothing seems to work.
    Can any one shed some light on the problem?
    Cheers!

    There is a script running which Noscript lets me forbid, called akamaihd.net. It runs a script which is the same as in html when you highlight a word then attach a url to it.
    I don't know why I am seeing it but not others. FF and Chrome seem susceptible to it. It's not malware as usually thought of because no virus/malware program finds it here.
    Unfortunately, I have to forbid this script for every site I visit.
    In the other thread where your browser displayed an 'i.trkjmp.com' link which isn't really in the web page, I gave you a Google link for info about the problem. You said that it must be something else. Well, for months now, Chrome and Firefox users have been troubled by extensions which cause the 'i.trkjmp.com' problem. You might want to revisit the link I gave you.

  • Photoshop does not open files, nor able to create new documents

    Has happened at least once before;
    * open file in Photoshop seems normal up until actually rendering the window where the document should be visible; no UI shows for the opened window
    * same goes with File -> New; dialog visible, I can select file size and other settings, but when confirming - I do not get a document window opened
    No obvious changes to my system lately except a new version of Flash Player installed at last reboot.
    Illustrator and InDesign not affected (open and new works as expected)
    Best regards,
    Henrik

  • After an Automatic Adobe Update, Photoshop crashes on opening files

    I just did the automatic adobe update to photoshop (CS3) and now I crash on opening files (file-open....crash!)
    I tried deleting the preferences file, still crashes in the same place
    I have un installed the program, reinstalled from the original program disc (not done the update) and it still is crashing.
    I haave a Macbook pro with 2.33 Intel core 2 Duo processor, and am running 10.5.6
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Carrie

    You really need to be running the updated version of CS3. If its crashing in the new user its probably a system thing.
    I would run Diskwarrior or Apple's Disk Utility from the DVD. then I would update the System to 10.5.7 with the 10.5.7 Combo updater downloaded from the Apple website.

  • Photoshop Cs5 not opening files

    I'm not actually completely sure if this is an issue with Mavericks because the problem started about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but my Photoshop Cs5 won't open files anymore. As soon as the app launches, I can click on "open..." but as I'm selecting the file, the window will close and after that, every choice on all the drop-down menus is grayed out and can no longer be selected. I've already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 with no luck, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS Cs5 with no luck. Help pleaseeeeeee D:

    Reset your Photoshop preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
    Uninstalling and reinstalling WON'T do that unless you used the CS Cleaner from Adobe to uninstall.
    Also, check your Performance preferences:
    Toggle OpenGL drawing, quitting Photoshop between changes.

  • Can Photoshop CS5.1 open files created/saved in CS6?

    I work in a collaborative environment. I've upgraded to CS6, but those i work with are working in photoshop cs5.1. Will they have problems opening files i create or save in CS6?

    I don't know that I can offer a better long answer, nor do I know of any published list of things you can save in a Photoshop CS6 document that won't open properly in an earlier version.  I have tried a few things myself, like creating shapes, text, etc. and found that Photoshop CS5 sees them all just fine.  But it's not hard to think of things that wouldn't work, such as putting a brand new filter as a smart filter in a document.
    Just using the cool new features would not necessarily net you incompatibility.  For example, doing a Content Aware Move or one of the new blurs just manipulate pixels, and at the end of the day the layer will just have pixels on it, which every version of Photoshop has known about all along. 
    Things like recording brush strokes in an action and trying to run the action on an earlier Photoshop would yield incompatibility, because older versions wouldn't know how to play such brush strokes back.
    There is a "Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility" setting in the File Handling preferences, and the implication is that others will always be at the very least able to open a flattened version of the document, but I'm not sure that covers every case of individual incompatibility between recent versions of Photoshop.  I've never had occasion to test it out thoroughly. 
    Maybe one of the Adobe people can speak to this in more detail.
    Do you still have a copy of Photoshop CS5 installed?  If so, and you're not sure about whether your PSD file is going to be compatible, you could of course try it yourself to be sure.

  • Final Cut Suddenly Stopped Recognizing Files It Had Recognized Before

    FCE 4 has suddenly stopped recognizing certain files that it has recognized without a problem for the past several years I’ve used the program. It won’t recognize 1920x1080 mp4, but it WILL recognize 1920x1080 mov and it WILL recognize 1080x720 mp4. All .h264 codec. Using AIC 1080x60i in FCE. It also won’t recognize .jpg or .tif. There was no software update that could have thrown this off. It was a working one day, not working the next kind of situation. Files play fine in QT. Reinstalled the program. I still get the same File Error: Unknown File. Any ideas?
