PS CS3: PSD image content is completely altered

Using Photoshop cs3 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, AMD Phenom II quad-core processor, 8 gig corsair memory. It's a brand new custom build machine.
My PSD file went from looking like this (300 ppi, 8-bit RGB, 20 or so layers):
To this (300 ppi, 8-bit RGB color, flattened image):
This really sucks. Any ideas as to what occurred?
Thank you,
- Sanchez

It sounds as though the file was corrupted.  It's always a good idea to save multiple different copies of a work in progress from time to time.
Did you take a software crash while saving?
Do you have any Error or Warning messages in your Windows System Event Log describing any problems with the disk drive?
Do you have an older copy you can go back to, assuming you can't recover the latest one?

  • Acrobat 9/PDFX1a from Indesign CS3 dropping images.

    Mac OS 10.5.5, 16GB RAM, Acrobat Pro 9, Indesign CS3 (5.0.3).
    I export to PDF, chose PDFX-1a from the Job Options. Turn on All Marks, and Use Document Bleed.
    Looking at the PDF in the Mac OS finder, the preview shows no images. Opening the PDF with Acrobat, it looks fine.
    My client is complaining there are no images (They are using Win XP)
    it appears as though under some odd circumstance PDFX1a is completely dropping placed psd images (Yes, they are CMYK and at 100%, one layer with transparency. The knockout fo rhte images is there, just no images.
    Bug? Any idea why? This is a new one on me.
    Using PDFX3 resolves the issue. But I've never had a problem like this with PDFX1a before.

    Thansk Jon,
    I can emulate it a few ways... Both the Finder Preview and Quicklook show the issue.
    Opening the PDF with Illustrator 13.0.2, the PDF preview looks correct, but after opening, images are dropped.
    Same is true with Photoshop 10.0.1 - PDF preview looks correct, but images are gone after rasterizing.
    Placing in ID 5.0.3 both the Preview and the placed art don't have images.
    See here:
    But when I open the PDF with Acrobat it looks fine. I also analyzed the PDF and it's completely compliant with PDFX1a according to Acrobat Pro 9.

  • How can I make the bleed image content reappear in indesign cs6

    Hi there,
    I created a 3mm bleed in the document setup and made sure the artwork filled the bleed area. Then, suddenly, after playing around with some view settings (and maybe some other things that i cant remember), the bleed image content will not show up in neither indesign nor the exported pdf. When I set the view mode to normal, it just shows the bleed content area as white. I see the bleed lines and see that the images are filling the bleed when selecting the images themselves, but the bleed area is completely white and I can´t send my files to the printer as the content will not show up there either.
    Has anyone experienced this and know a fix? I was thinking that maybe the reset preferences would help, but I´m unsure.
    Grateful for any help
    Lise

    Hi Larry,
    I am in Normal mode and yes, the W shortcut toggle works.

  • Certain psd images are saving darker as jpegs

    I use Photoshop CS3.
    Certain psd images are turning out darker after I save them as jpegs. The shadows are far more predominant and the images are significantly darkened. This only happens with photographs that I have edited over the past two or three days. All photographs that I have edited four days ago or more save exactly as they appear in photoshop. There is no darkening whatsoever. I can't figure out what is causing this recent batch of photographs to save differently.
    Both batches are RGB 8 bits, Color Mode 3, with an ICC profile of sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Thanks.

    Is your display profiled and calibrated, and if so, what software/hardware did you do this with?
    What version of Windows are you running?
    It sounds as though your Windows Photo Viewer may not properly be using the document and monitor profiles to do color-management.
    Windows Photo Viewer has been color-managed since at least as far back as XP SP3, but I'm wondering if your monitor profile just isn't being interpreted correctly.  Perhaps it's in a format your OS software can't handle.

  • Dreamweaver Hotspots fracturing PSD images

    I have a PSD image I want to publish in Dreamweaver CS3. I
    can make a hotspot in DW, but after hitting "enter", it sort of
    fractures the image template. That is, pieces of the image become
    not aligned and it looks really bad. Is there a way to do this in
    DW without putting the PSD back thru PS and slicing it again?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The truth of the matter is that any HTML written by a
    graphics application
    (whether it be PS, or FW, or whatever), is only useful for
    prototyping work.
    It is just not robust enough for use on the web.
    If you give us a link to your page, so we can examine its
    code, the issues
    there will be easy to spot.
    What this means for you is that if you are serious about
    using DW for web
    development, you will have to become much more capable with
    HTML and CSS. A
    good place to start is here -

  • Image content not defined in TileList

    I have two images on a canvas, one is directly on the canvas using inline code, the other is embedded in a tilelist. Both images render. When I click and drag the inline image, the drag proxy appears normally. When I click and drag the image in the tile list, I get an error when I try to make a copy of the bitmap. This is occurring because the content of the image in the tile list is NULL, even though the source value is correct and the image has been loaded. I'm assuming this is some sort of itemRenderer issue, but I'm not clear on how it retains the source of the image, but not the content. If it's duplicating the image and referencing another bitmap, how do I access that bitmap?
    The code is below with the exception of the image.

    If this post answered your question or helped, please mark it as such.
    Accessing items in containers when renders are used can be problematic, because Flex recycles the items for large data sets.
    So this code works fine but uses a Repeater. You may have to do some thinking to rework your concept, but this works:

  • 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.

  • What to do with a psd image in Modified folder that I can't see.

    With an original jpeg image I modified the image in PSE (which is set as default editor in iPhoto) using layers. I did a Save. The psd is in my modified folder but is not displayed by iPhoto. I understand that I should have used a Save As (eg to desktop) and imported that image back to iPhoto.
    Is it OK to move the psd image out of the Modified folder to desktop and then import it back into iPhoto? Thanks,
    Owen

    Yes.

  • Photo/Edit-In CS6. psd image does not show in LR after save/close.

    Whenever I edit (a copy) of an image in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 4.3 (Photo/Edit-In), after I save and close the image in CS6 the new psd image does not show in Lightroom. In order to see the image in Lightroom, I need to close Lightroom and then reopen Lightroom. It is almost like Lightroom needs to "refresh". Does anyone have a solution that does not require me to close Lightroom? I have tried to use View/Sort by extension, filename, edit time, etc. with no effect.

    This should not be so. I'm assuming that you do a <save> in CS6 - as opposed to <save as>. Only with <save> the image file will automatically be imported in Lr while <save as> creates a new file that Lr "knows" nothing about until you import it (for instance via "Synchronize folder").
    If the behavior you describe follows a <save> in CS6 it is not normal.
    This could be due to a corrupt Preference File. This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
    BTW: Re-installing Lr does not replace the Pref. File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.
    See here for where to find the Preference file for your OS: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m-4.html

  • Need to resize to print  BUT do not want to crop image content PE 5.0

    I have scanned an image into PE 5.0 The dimensions are:
    Pixels: 2321x2915,
    Document: 7.737x9.717,
    Resolution: 300.
    I want to print this image so it fits in a 5x7 frame. It's a portrait and there isn't any room to crop to fit without losing valuable image content. I've tried everything (I think); using my printer options to print to size, resizing in PE 5.0, etc. I still end up with a 'cropped photo'. I tried scanning to a 5x7 size and I still get an irregular size image that won't fit in a 5x7 frame. Is there any way to scale the dimensions of this photo, maintaining aspect ratio, to fit a 5x7 frame without cropping any content?
    I have spent hours and hours trying to figure this out (very humbling experience :) - so any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    Mark & Juergen - thank you so much for your responses. Your examples are exactly what I got when I tried adding canvas and that's not what I wanted; it would only add canvas on two sides.
    I guess I've worked with spreadsheets too long, scaling to fit the paper is a slam dunk in Excel :) I was hoping for some creative work-a-round but I guess it's time to get a bigger frame and a custom mat. Thank you, I really appreciate your time and expertise.

  • Transparent PSD image in Illustrator changes color of vector background after print.

    Hello, I really don't know how to explain this so I'll just upload my files which are located here: http://rapidshare.com/files/4040672260/Green%20circle.rar
    I have a green vector background in illustrator and then I placed psd image over it and created PDF for press and under Color bitmap images I selected no compression.
    After viewing image in Acrobat all seems ok, I even checked with picker, but after I send this to printer (xerox in thsi case) I end up with this: .
    Both .psd and .ai are in CMYK color space. For this particular case I could use mask to cover up that transparent space but my original project has shadows which I cannot mask by vector :S.
    Can someone plz explain to me what I am doing whrong or how to set color profiles or whatever is neccessary to avoid this issue. One thing I was using was, opening PDF in Photoshop and flatening all. Problem is that sometimes I need vector files and cut lines for cutter. Don't want to have bitmap, if I can have a vector? Also when I flaten image I do get same CMYK values in photoshop (with picker) than I have in Illustrator on vector object, but when I print this they don't match at all.
    Does someone know a solution?
    THANKS in advance and sry for my bad english.
    Stefan

    Nothing worng with your .ai or .psd file, prints fine here. Problem is with your tranparency flattening.
    Most likely you can fix that by print >>  Advanced >> Custom >.> Move slider all the way towards rasters.
    If you need more help, let us knwo your printere, and screenshtos of your print settings can help.

  • Why won't my trial of CC Photoshop let me save my PSD images as JPG or GIF?

    Why won't my trial of CC Photoshop let me save my PSD images as JPG or GIF?

    One thing to check is that your PSD is RGB/8 or /16, but not /32  (32 bits per channel)
    If that is not the problem
    Let's try this:
    Close Adobe Photoshop if it is opened.
    Find the following:   (windows user can hit windows key + r, then in run cmd line type "%appdata%" to locate your "AppData\Roaming" directory)
    \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Adobe Preferences CC Settings
    Rename the  "Adobe Preferences CC Settings" folder to "Adobe Preferences CC Settings_old"  so that preferences settings can be recreated.
    Reopen Photoshop CC and open a new or existing file to verify that your "save for web" option is back and not grayed out.

  • .MOV to .PSD image shift...HELP!!!!!!

    I have a .MOV and a .PSD file of the same image, the .MOV is of the .PSD image animating into its place on the .PSD. However when the track (.MOV) jumps to the Layered Menu (.PSD). there is an image shift. How do I prep the files so that the uncompressed quicktime movie and the photoshop file will line up seamlessley?
    Any help appreciated!
    Bill

    I don't know enough about how you applied the motion to tell you exactly why this happends, but I have clue:
    If you are animating the motion in FCP in an uncompressed sequence, the frame size will actually be 720x486. When this gets encoded to mpeg, it gets cropped to 720x480, 4 lines top and 2 bottom, to keep the field order the same.
    I start with a 720x486 file in photoshop, and then manually crop it 4 top and 2 bottom to prepare the version of the still file for the DVDSP menu.
    I might also recommend simply extending your motion quicktime to include the still at the end. It should only add a minute of video to your disc. You can even set the menu in DVDSP to a stilll at the end, as opposed to looping.
    Another thing that can effect positioning of photoshop layers in FCP or DVDSP is if there are any pixels on the layer outside the bounds of the canvas. A quick "select all-image:crop" will eliminate this.
