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.

    Is anyone else having this problem?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • How do I mass protect about 200 pdf files in a directory without opening them individually?

    How do I mass protect about 200 pdf files in a directory without opening them individually? I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
    They can all have the same password.
    Any ideas?

    If they can all have the same password, just make 200 copies of the protected file in your operating system...
    Edit: I think I misread your initial post. If the files are not identical, you can use an Action to encrypt all files using the same password.

  • .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.

  • Advice needed regarding a - Adobe Photoshop Image 15 (.psd) - I can't open them correctly?

    Hi folks,
      I recently agreed to work on some art for a friend, he sent me some files that appear on my PC as Adobe Photoshop Image 15 (.psd) - Only when i open them in my Photoshop CC (All updates installed that are available from the time this was posted) they don;t appear to be the correct images? I have Google'd the phrase above but nothing appear on my searches that would enlighten me to what i may need to open these files correctly? can anyone let me know if the file type above is meant for Photoshop or one of the many additional programs within adobe's CC? If it is a Photoshop format then i apologies for time wasting and it may be that the file was corrupted possible before being sent?
       Thank you for your time.

    Does you friend also use Photoshop CC or does he use Photoshop CC 2014.  There may be some incompatibilities is some layers if he uses CC 2014..  However  CC should be able to open  .PSD file.   And Adobe Photoshop Image 5 type files like PSD, PDD extensions should be associated with Photoshop.

  • I want to print several attahments at once without opening them one at a time.

    What I am trying to accomplish is this,
    I'm trying to at one time print several attachments at one time without opening them one at a time.
    They are receipt from our supplier so we receive an average of twenty a day it will be so time consuming to have to open each one then print everyday.

    The best you may be able to do is create a filter that automatically or manually detaches or saves the attachments to an external folder (for that, you need the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/filtaquilla/ FiltaQuilla] add-on), and then you could select the attachments in Explorer and print them.
    If the receipts were displayed inline or in the message body, you could set up FiltaQuilla to Print the messages, and to have the printing done in the background without having to OK each message, the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/printingtools/ Printing Tools] add-on would help.
    But for only 20 messages per day, it may not be worth going to the trouble of setting up this method.

  • Psd file corrupt

    My psd file corrupt in CS6. What might be the solution??

    This is the user-to-user discussion forum on Adobe Audition.  I presume there is a similar forum for Photoshop?
    Since your question is to do with a Photoshop file you need to re-post it there.

  • .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.

    How do you delete mail and trash in OSX 10.9.2 without opening them.  I don't want to open suspect mail that might cause a problem.

    I think you can just drag it to the trash folder.  Otherwise you have to select it and press delete.  If you have the preview window going, just selecting it will open it.  So you have to have the preview window closed.
    P.S.
    I don't think you can get into any trouble just opening a message in Apple Mail.

    Ask Apple to re-enable it. I had an unauthorized purchase last October. They disabled my account until the problem was solved. However, I asked them to reopen it, and they just asked me to provide some security information (billing address, a recent purchase you made, etc.), and then they re-enabled it.
