Picture saved as just a file instead of an image

I saved a picture on photoshop, turned off my computer, and when I turned it back on, I found that my picture was no longer a '.PSD' file but just a file that cannot be opened by my Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. Is there any way I can change the file back to a PSD or just a regular JPEG?
Thanks,
Emily

And by "turned off my computer" do you mean "I properly quit out of all applications and shut down"?
Or, did you just power your system off, or did you put your system to sleep?
Just to make sure you know, Emily: It's never a good idea to shut down your entire system without first properly quitting all running operations.

  • Saving data in one file instead of many

    Hi. I'm trying to save cursor values so that I can plot them on a graph later on. I've managed to do this, but instead of saving just one file I seem to be saving the same number of files as there are cursors. All the files are exactly the same and contain the data exactly how I want it, but I just want one of them. I'm automatically saving the data when the stop button is pressed in my program and I don't really want to create another button to save the values if I don't have to. Does anyone know how I can solve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Click on the Write To Measurement File vi.  I believe (without seeing your settings) that in the Action Box you have "Save To series of files (multiple files)" selected rather that "Save to one file".

    But then when I mount the cdrom back, instead of the contents of the ISO image, I find the "isofile.iso" file!!
    I tried installing brasero and using it instead, but the same thing happened, what could the problem be?

    You should not be using the "-dao" switch and get rid of the burnfree thing as that is now deprecated and will be used anyways if your drive supports it, so:
    sudo cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrom isofile.iso

  • Import error on XMP files when bringing in image sequences to AE cs6

    Hey everyone,
    I'm having difficulty getting AE 6 to import my still image timelapse sequences.  It throws an error called-unsupported file type extension.  I did not have this problem with cs 5.5.
    My workflow goes as follows. 
    -bring RAW stills into bridge and batch edit them in camera raw. 
    -move stills to LR timelapse and de-flicker them
    -import still sequence into after effects.
    The xmp files should change as I edit them in camera raw and in LR timelapse but they will not import into AE cs6. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks for your time. 

    They are still pictures that were shot in RAW on a still camera.  It calls them cr2 files in windows explorer.  They are raw image files brought into bridge and when edited in camera raw-the metadata is saved to an xmp file that accompanies each image.  Then you bring the images into LR timelapse and it just adjusts the xmp(metadata) files to deflicker them.  Much in the same way that camera raw works.  You do not have to export the still at all because all of these changes are saved in the metadata.  Then you drop the still sequence into AE and export it as video.  It just wont let me export them into cs6 with these xmp files. 
    The raw files are called cr2 files and without the xmp file-they will import into AE.  I tried importing some other camera raw files (NEF files) into AE with the xmp's and it worked.  For some reason it does not like these RAW cr2 files with the xmp metadata. 
    Thanks for your time and help, 

  • My hardrive just got diagnosed as 'faulty' even though its only 1year8months old!!! I had adobe bridge installed on the computer with many picture files that included raw images. How can I get these raw files back after computer died?

    computer did not start up one day. it was a white screen
    took it to a mac bar and they said the diagnosis was a faulty hard drive
    I had backed up most of my images ( i am a photographer)
    had not backed up atleast 6 files full of raw images!!!!
    they suggested sending it to a data recovery specialist which would cost around $500!
    I am not getting the answers I need on how, why, or what is going to be recovered or if raw picture files will be able to be saved.
    Not sure what to do next because I dont have loads of extra money laying around to pay for something that should have not occured in the first place if I was actually sold a good computer.
    payed $1095 for this imac and it only lasted just under 2 years. I feel cheated and scammed! Has any one else gone through this same thing?? what did you do?

    If it is only 20 months old it is still covered by the 3-year Applecare.
    You did take out Applecare didn't you?
    I had backed up most of my images ( i am a photographer)
    had not backed up atleast 6 files full of raw images!!!!
    Why did you, as a photographer, not make several backups, not just one or a partial one, of your material?

  • How to get the full path instead of just the file name, in �FileChooser� ?

  • When saving a jpg it has suddenly started saving as 'file'instead of jpg

    When editing a jpg then hitting 'save as' it has suddenly started saving as a 'file' instead of a jpg and can't be viewed as a thumb nail or opened by double clicking. I have to right click and 'open with' and view it through windows picture viewer....what has gone wrong and does anyone know how to get it back to how it should be. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no joy...

    Thank you Juergen.. you are absolutaly correct.
    I had some ...'s in my file name. How silly of me, I have been using photoshop for sooo long I should have realised. Might have been helpful had it come up with a prompt saying 'invalid file name', I have had that pop up before in one program I have used....thought it was photshop, but it didn't do it this time.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Can the VideoMaster Video Binary Files be saved as bitmap files instead?

    Hi,
    When I run VideoMaster it only seems to capture files to be saved as .vbf files.  I am not familiar with this standard and suspect that a large amount of data is compressed.
    All the frames on the product that I am testing are I -Frames and I wish to compare these frames.  Since a .bmp file is uncompressed, I reckon this would be the best way/ simplest way to compare two files.
    Any capture cards I have used previously allow the video/ grabs to be save as bitmap files. 
    Is there a way of saving the files as .bmp files instead of .vbf using Videomaster? 
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Hi Sean,
    VideoMASTER .vbf to BitmapThis is actually a feature that will be released in the upcoming VideoMASTER 3.0, which is to be released soon. The feature will allow to save the image in the video buffer to one of the following formats:
    .bmp
    .png
    .jpg
    In the case of analog video, it will take the first frame, if more frames are acquired, and save that to disk. In case of digital, we only acquire s single frame, so it is that frame that is being saved. The feature can handle analog video such as Composite video, S-Video and Component video, and in the case of digital, it will save the digital image. All formats are saved as 8-bit of RGB information.

  • How can I remove the list of 20 recently saved items when you click on the arrow on the far right side of the File Name screen for images, web pages, ect?

    When I right click and go save image/page/ect as the file save popup screen appears and on the right side of the File Name bar there is an arrow. If you click the arrow it shows the last 20? items that have been saved and their save location. Is there anyway to not have the list of recent items there or at the very least a way to clear them? I'm running Firefox 17 on Windows 7.
    Also when you save items as you were typing in the name you want to save them as it used to show filenames with the same name as you type that are saved in that directory so instead of typing the whole filename or copy/pasting you could start typing a filename and then hit the up or down arrow, backspace and just change the end of the filename without having to retype the entire filename.
    Hopefully you understand what I mean and can help me fix it, thanks.

    It's in the proper directory. I can scroll down the window on the right and see the files but if I start typing the file name of one of them the autocomplete drop down thing that shows matching file names does not appear. In the back of my mind I'm starting to think a setting got changed and then the list of matching file names stopped appearing but I can't recall what setting may have been changed, if it was a firefox or microsoft change or for certain if anything got changed at all. Yeah I know I'm not helping my own cause but what can you do.

  • Will save webpage as file instead of opening it

  • Signature preferences (AIR) are not saved in the fla file

    Hi,
    - I create a new fla file in Flash CS5 Professional,
    - I go to publish settings and select AIR2 as the target
    - I click the Settings button on the right
    These settings are supposed to be saved with the fla file, since all of them are related to the project.
    Application name, icons, files to include, etc, are all preferences related to the fla file of which you are editing the settings.
    However, when you go to the "Signature" tab and select a digital certificate to sign the air application with, this setting will NOT be saved into the file.
    Instead, whenever you publish ANY air application, it will use by default the last certificate you have used, even if you used it to publish _another_ application.
    That is absurd, because this is a tab within the "publish settings" and all publish settings are specific to a fla file.
    Is there a way to fix it? Perhaps some global preference somewhere, or a windows registry key?
    Or is it just a bug?
    thanks
    m.

    I would think the signature is the signature specific to the user/company who has opened the fla and is used to identify the developer/company who has created the application.
    Now if the signature setting was saved on the fla, and the fla is opened on a different guys machine,
    first - he would not have the signature that you had and at the same location
    second - it does not make sense to him, since he is not you.
    It is unlikely that that a person/company creating applications would sign the swf/air with different signatures.
    So I would think that the current behaviour is correct and the signature is specific to the person who has opened the application rather than the application itself.
    Hope this explains it.

    Seems to be ok especially if you enlarge the object before you copy it into photoshop.
    I think what you are pasting (never bothered to try this) is just the screen preview, hence the need to enlarge. Why would you waste your time doing that instead of exporting to a high-res PDF?
