  • .psd files won't open

    I was using tiger and Photoshop 4 on a PowerPC. I now have a MacBook Air and 10.5. My .psd files won't open as stated in the following message "The document "filename.psd" could not be opened. I have also got the message that the file is corrupted and won't open. I used graphic converter to open the file and it did without issue and after I resaved the file it opens without issue, but not in Preview. It opens in graphics converter.
    Is there a fix so that my .psd files will open in Preview?

    You can try saving in another format that is compatible with Preview on the old machine. If that doesn't work, you might want to try using other 3rd-party PDF readers such as Adobe reader.

  • I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open

    I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open. I am a new user to Windows 8.

    The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
    Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
    If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).

  • .psd files dose not open with Camera Raw

    I noticed that if you have a ".psd" file  even if it is Flatten, it will not open in camera raw. I can easily save it to a Tiff or other formats and open it in camera raw, but I wonder why .psd file dose not open in camera raw
    Thanks

    Yes, Trevor, you can indeed opened a non-layered PSD in Adobe Camera Raw—at least in perpetual-license CS6 and earlier, I don't know about the Cash Cow subscription version 14.x which I'm not going anywhere near.
    What you cannot do is open a PSD in Camera Raw by double clicking on it.  You just have to go through  File > Open menu item and its dialog box.
    Once you are in the Open dialog box, select the PSD file you want to open, go to the File Format button on the lower left-hand corner of said dialog box and from the list of formats available in the pop-up menu choose Camera Raw.  The Open button on the lower right will become active and you can then open your file in Adobe Camera Raw.
    Just be sure not to choose the "Photoshop Raw" format from that list of formats in the pop-up menu. "Photoshop Raw" has nothing to do with digital photography at all; it's an ancient, obsolete file format that no one should be using these days.

  • Lightroom opens Photoshop CS4 for edit but file doesn't open

    I have tried looking for this thread but have not found it... 447 threads are a lot to scan...
    When I try to edit a Lightroom 2.3 file in Photoshop CS4 Extended, Photoshop launches but the file does not open (same for all other edit options: layers, pano, etc.) and the follows box appears in Lightroom: "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS4 could not be launched"...
    I have Windows XP Home Edition with SP3... over 3GB Ram... and all current Adobe updates...

    Ah, now in that case this is where you'll find everything that you need to know, including access to the download. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4579
    Having said that, with a Mac doesn't Camera Raw install automatically from within CS4 by choosing Update from within the Help menu?
    Oh, and another thing. If you open CS4, go up to Help, from the drop-down choose About > Camera Raw. If it indicates 5.5 then the raw plug-in is already installed in the correct location. It won't show if it's not installed in the correct location.

  • PSD files will not print from Photoshop CS4 (previously posted in Acrobat printing and prepress)

    My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
    Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
    I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
    Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
    In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
    Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
    Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
    Has anybody already found the fix?
    I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

    Just a few examples, since you ask:

  • PSD files corrupting without opening them.

    I am an experienced Photoshop user. For many years I have been bringing psd files home to work on using various external hard drives. My work computer has PS CS2 and will soon be updated to CS5. My home computer had CS4 updated to CS5 a couple of months ago. I use the external drive at work to hold my psd work files. They open and save normally at work and I have never had a damaged file.
    For the past several months when I take my hard drive home and view the photos in Bridge many to them are damaged with what looks like shifted color layers. This is without opening the files-only viewing them in Bridge. The files will open sometimes with a damaged file warning, sometimes not but always with damage. The damage usually only affects one layer.
    Sometimes, but not always, I can take the home damaged file back to my work computer and have it open normally with no damage! Has anyone seen this before and knows the cause?

    Look for red Error entries.  Disk failures, for example, are pretty obvious - they say stuff like "Drive 0 detected a bad block and recovered".
    Ideally a system shouldn't accumulate any Error entries, though in practice there will probably be some that are unavoidable.

  • .PSD file doesn't look like in Adobe Photoshop

    Hi everybody!
    I have problem with Adobe Fireworks CS4 trial. My friend created a .psd file in Adobe Photoshop and sent it to me. When I opened it, some layers didn't look like in Adobe Photoshop. They had 50% opacity, but in Photoshop was set only 20%. Some layers had diferent color. In Photoshop was set white, but in Fireworks i saw yellow.
    Do you have any ideas, how to solve the problem ?

    Was the original file done in CMYK?
    8 bit - RGB
    See this article:
    http://www.viget.com/inspire/save-for-web-simply/
    which is a follow-up to this article and its "lively" discussion:
    http://www.viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift/
    Thanks for the links.
    The most frustrating thing is difference in the opacity between Photoshop and Fireworks. It gives me more work to do.

  • Links to files doesn't open in a new window

    I've noticed that links (that refers to a specific file) created in Adobe Indesign doesn't open in a new window like the links that refers to a website when I autoconverts it in Acrobat Pro X.
    Example:
    LINK1: http://www.acrobat.com/testfile.pdf <--- does not open in a new window when clicked
    LINK2: http://www.acrobat.com/testfolder <--- opens in a new window when clicked
    Are there any way to fix this?
    Will the same problem occur if I create the links in Acrobat instead?
    I'm asking this because I don't want the form to disappear when the links are clicked.
    Best,
    Mikey

    Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
    "Open search results in a new browser window"
    I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
    In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
    Does it make any difference?

  • Double-clicking on files doesn't open them

    Just started today:
    If I navigate to a file in the Finder and double-click on it, nothing happens. It doesn't open. If I open the application (e.g., MS Word) and go to the file menu and choose Open, navigate to the file, the file will open. But it happens in all applications, not just Word -- double-clicking on any file won't open the file in its parent application. It's like the link between files and apps has been lost.
    I restarted the Finder twice, restarted the whole computer twice, repaired Permissions with Disk Utility -- nothing has helped. Still can't open files by double-clicking on them.
    Am I missing something?
    Tx,
    WK

    Kappy,
    Followed these "Get Info" box instructions for two different files and their apps -- the correct apps were already listed as the Default, but I reselected them and "Changed All" again anyway. Still no change. Double-clicking on these docs in the Finder does not open files or the files creator Application. The only way I can still launch files and the proper App is through Control-click and "Open with" command.
    I even deleted the com.apple.finder.plist and restarted, thinking the Finder prefs file might be corrupt, but still no change, so took the original plist file out of the Trash and put it back in the Library>Preferences folder and restarted again. No change.
    THEN - a breakthrough. I checked the Keyboard/Mouse Prefs Pane and the double-click speed for the mouse was set completely to the right. I backed it off one "notch", went back to the Finder and double-clicked on a Word file and Voíla! -- the file and Word opened as it should.
    Went back to the Mouse Prefs Pane and moved the Double-CLick Speed indicator all the way to the right again ("Fast") and went back to Finder and focused on double-clicking files as fast as I could and they opened fine.
    SO -- I'm embarrassed to say that I just wasn't double-clicking fast enough. Not sure how the Speed indicator got moved so far to the right, but I have backed it off a notch to a normal double-click speed that I've used for years, and all seems to be working.
    Thanks again for all your help -- I learned some good things about how to connect files and apps which will no doubt come in handy in the future.

  • Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

    I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
    CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
    Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
    While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4.  I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

  • .CR2 files won't open in Photoshop CS4

    I recently got CS4 Extended version of Photoshop and need to work on my RAW files, but they won't open. I can see the thumbnails in Bridge and when I try to open them Photoshop says they're "not the right type of document"...so...not sure what to do. I've done a ton of research and cannot figure out why these files are unable to open. I need help!

    I've had the same problem recently and worked on the solution this morning.  I havn't read the full info stream here, but can tell you what finally worked for me today.
    I also have CS4, and recently bought a Canon 7D.  My .CR2 files would not open, due to proprietay issues with the new camera.
    I first had to buy a download of WinZip, since I wasn't able to open any download from Adobe.  The WinZip was about $30.  Next, I went back to Adobe/downloads/updates and used Find Product Updates menu.  I found the compatable update of RAW plug in was 5.7 for our CS4 version.  I clicked the link to this download, and began the process by clicking Save.  I then went to the Download folder and found the file from Adobe in the WinZip folder.  At this point I went back to the Adobe download site and printed out the download instructions concerning where to find the old plug in, what to do with it, and how to install the newer downloaded plug in. 
    After all this, I opened CS4, Bridge, located my first .CR2 file, and it worked just fine.  I was also able to convert these .CR2 files, once opened, to DNG files.
    Hope this helps.

  • PhotoShop CS6 .psd file currpt/not open :( my lots hard work

    Hi Friends,
    Today Accidentally my photoshop has closed at that time i am working on my demo template work from last 2 months, so again i open my .psd file thier is error prompt “could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop”.
    Several time i try but it can’t open my .psd file. if anyone face this type problem or have any solution to solve this i will be very thankful to you, of-course its my two months hard work.
    Thanks

    Here's a good trick that's works in many cases. You'll be using Fireworks to open, and re-save the Photoshop file. This will fix most corruptions.
    Open the corrupt Photoshop file in Fireworks.
    Use Fireworks to save it as a .psd Photoshop file. (Important: Do Not save it as a Fireworks file or another extension, because Photoshop may not recognize the layers, or you could lose data.)
    Remember to give your file a different name when saving, so you won't overwrite your original. (A good idea would be to create a backup of your original before trying this procedure.)
    Open your newly created file in Photoshop.
    Remember that many effects will not show in Fireworks, but should show up in the Photoshop layers.
    If it doesnt work, try to look at the answer here: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/photoshop/590-restoring-a-corrupted-ps d-file
    Try some repair tool:

  • Recovered .psd file won't open

    I accidentally deleted some files (all different formats including .psd), I managed to get these files back using Disk Drill but unfortunately when I try to open the .psd files I get the error message: "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." This is pretty weird because I created the files using this version, I have also tried opening them in different versions of Photoshop and none can open them.
    Any ideas? These are important files for work so any help is much appreciated

  • PSD file on mac, opened on PC not the same colors??

    my PSD file has a specific color i need, PMS 300 in my logo. So on my MAC i make it. When someone at my work opens the PSD file on a PC, it is not the same color. why arent the colors the same?? even when i save it as a PDF, if someone on a pc opens it at my work. its a different shade of blue.

    Windows based PCs are sRGB by default. Many apps are not even color managed and can't display images tagged with other profiles correctly.
    Photoshop and Bridge are color managed, but what are they using to view your files?
    Add to that users who are not educated in color management and you have a problem.
    Those who target their files for commercial printing use Adobe RGB, a much larger gamut that will look desaturated in an sRGB environment like Windows.
    So either they get a viewer that can read these tags, or you will have to send them a copy of the file converted to sRGB.
    This can be found in Photoshop's Edit menu.
    Edit > Convert to Profile... if your image is already tagged as Adobe rgb
    You can still keep your Adobe RGB tagged files for print, but you have to explain that to your Windows users.
    It's not the best answer, but might hold until all PCs are on the same page and your co-workers educated.
