PSD files issue

Hi there,
The following happens to often and has just happend (again) which has stimulated me to post.
Working with a Nikon D300, open the raw files in ACR and apply some adjustments. Click Open Image and the file opens in PS (CS3) Apply some further adjustments and attempt to save. The default file type on the Save dialog box is psd. I change it to TIFF and save.
Now, in Bridge, I have the file as a ***.psd, no tiff whatsoever. When I click on the 888.psd, I receive a PS message saying the file is not a recognized PhotoShop file type.
What is happening? I don't want it as a psd anyway, but that is what PS created, even though I opted for a tiff.
How can I resolve this issue?
Many thanks,
Rex

Thanks for your reply. That may be the problem. It could also be created by the fact that Nikon RAW files by default start with an underscore to show the colour space. May be PS does not like _1234.psd as a file name?

JPEG/PSD issue--I open a jpeg and edit it (levels, crop) and then "save as" and the save as option shows there are now levels in the image and it wants to save it as a .psd file or a copy with layers. What am I doing that has these settings appear?

16bit? Pixels extending beyond the canvas? (from a crop with delete unused pixels turn off). Have you previously been saving PSD files?
IME you sometimes have to tell Photoshop that the first save of a session is JPG, and it remembers from there on. The way to 'tell' Photoshop that JPG, or PDF, or PNG etc are now your preferred format is to Ctrl (Cmd) click on that format in the Save As drop down list. So long as the file does not have parameters that your chosen format does not support, then this should work for you.
[EDIT] Just noticed that you did include 'Crop' in the subject line. Do you have 'Delete cropped pixels' checked?

Transparency Issues with PSD files in FCP 7

I'm having some weird file layer transparency issues with FCP 7. I'm working on a project that's made up entirely of graphics drawn in Photoshop CS5. They Photoshop settings were done to match an HDTV 1080i (16:9) sequence in FCP. In FCP, the pixels were set to square, field dominance to none, frame rate to 29.97 and compressor is Apple ProRes 422.
I exported my PSD files out of Photoshop, with each layer being exported to its own file. In general, things were fine, but there were a few files where you could see the outline of the character against the background, but mind you that this is only visible once the video is rendered out in the FCP timeline. Nothing is visible in Photoshop, nor is it visible while viewing from the Browser in FCP. I told this to the artist and he went back and made corrections, making sure everything was on a transparent background, but the result was still the same - once I rendered the graphics out in FCP, these edge lines were visible.
I then went back into Photoshop, opened all the files that were giving me trouble, clicked on the "foreground color" and changed it to a color other than white, then back to white and hit ok. That seemed to work - even when rendered out, I was getting no artifacts, until I tried enlarging the graphics over 100%.
Also, with some of the same graphics, I was trying to layer them so that a guy was in the foreground with other people and a van behind him in the background. Once again, no problem in Photoshop, but once brought into FCP, the background people were actually being displayed over the main foreground character.
I'm pretty baffled - what to do? I'll attach a photo of the weird lines around the characters. It might be hard to see at this size, but if you download and enlarge it to 300% or so, you'll see what I mean.

Just saw that Adam's original post was an older one. Will keep this here anyway to maybe help the most recent poster.

Adam, did you try what David said about pointing to the root folder? Did that work?
When I copy the SD card, I name a new folder on my hard drive something specific, like Smith Wedding. Then I copy everything inside the SD card to that new folder. The first level inside my new folder now has folders for
AVF_INFO
PRIVATE
and on down from there. When you open Log and Transfer, point it to the Smith Wedding folder (of course whatever you have named yours).
ClipWrap2 also works great to convert the files beforehand if you want.
What camera are you using? I have the Sony NX30 and it was giving me fits because the .mts files don't ingest if the clips are longer than 11 min. My problem is that I'm still on FCP 6.0.6. I think 7.0.3 fixed that. But I did find enough work-arounds to keep the camera.
This is a link to the full discussion if you are interested.

Photoshop PSD files will not open in AE or PREM?? This was fine in CS6 and CC - just did the CC2024 update and now issues-any help much appreciated

Titles says it all really,
Recently upgraded to the 2014 CC update and now i can't send PSD files…or any files for that matter into Premier or AE. If i save the file in Photoshop CC2014 then i can see it in finder etc, but i try to import and i get the notice 'importer reported a generic error'
please help i have work to finish

I am having the same issue. I can create a single layer file in Photoshop and it imports fine. If I create a file with 2 layers it crashes Premiere cc. Premiere will not display the box with options to import single layer, sequence etc. Any ideas?

1st LR3 issue. PSD files not retaining star rating on edit in cs4

When editing in photoshop and then saving the psd file lightroom correctly imports the file back in but it doesnt save the star rating back into lightroom... An issue if you edit in filtered mode like I do... as you have to remove the filter, star it and then filter again... LR2 didn't do this...
Any ideas?

I'm getting this too. The reason (for me at least) why this is a major pain in LR3 is because by the time I decide to edit in PS I've done selections using star ratings. So by this time I'm filtering using star ratings.
With this bug, the TIFF/PSD disappears until the filter is removed - as I said, major pain.
I'll use the circumvention but it's a real nuisance.

An issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when saved to a network file share

It has been reported and reproduced by Support, an issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when they’re saved to a network file share.
Upon initial investigations Support have observed the following behaviour when saving a Photoshop file.
The document is initially saved as a new file on the file share.
The original .PSD file is deleted on the file share.
The newly created file is renamed to the same name as the original file.
An issue often arises when steps 1 and 2 complete however step 3 fails. When a file is reported by users as having disappeared, the new file created in step 1 can be renamed from .00_ to the original *.PSD file name on the server as the *.00_ files are normally hidden by the desktop operating system. This allows people to see and open the file from both PC’s and MAC’s using AFP and SMB protocols.
A related issue often reported by users is that they receive an error message “Could not save as” when trying to save a .PSD file. Troubleshooting the issue confirms that the user is able to save the file if they perform a “Save As” operation in Photoshop.
From the reported problems and observations there is clearly an issue with how Photoshop performs a file save operation further exacerbated by the fact the process doesn’t fail safely.

Sounds like you're hitting one of the known MacOS filesystem bugs - worst when working with SMB volumes.
Apple knows about this, and we are pursuing workarounds to the OS bugs.
Yeah, if you value your files, don't save directly to servers, especially on MacOS.

PSD files don't up-load because "maximum compatability" issues

I have a load of PSD files that don't load because they were saved in previous versions of PS when maximum compatability did not exist in preferences. The problem is they are mixed in with other files and Light Room does not identify the specific files.
When I eventually do locate one the fix is easy enough to resave with this setting.
Currently I am sorting all files by type, sorting out the PSD files, running an action to correct then upload. Really takes the fun out of this.
Any suggestions?

Hi Gaspar,
Are you using a preloader for the project? If so, the default
one in Captivate waits for 60% of the project to load before
playing. Perhaps try to add the preloader if you aren't using one,
or remove it if you are to see if that makes a difference. In
Captivate 3, you can change this option in Preferences -->
Project --> Start and End --> Loading Screen.
Good luck,
David
Edit: I just tried this too and got the same results when
publishing with all versions of Flash - I was a little surprised to
see it even with Flash 7 exports, because Captivate has let me
embed .swf animations into a single .swf project file using Flash
7. I'm guessing that whatever Flash "engine" Captivate uses to
create its own FMV .swfs must be Flash 8 or 9. That would be
something that would be nice to adjust - especially because of the
lack of the ability to merge .swf files into one file. I guess I'll
send a feature request again...

Motion having issues with layered PSD files. Adds more to images

Motion is distorting my layered PSD files in a way that I can't seem to figure out how to fix. Here are two examples of what I'm talking about:
http://www.coyopa.com/motion_problem.jpg
http://www.coyopa.com/motion_problem2.jpg
There are two PSD images. The person is one layer and the background is the other. As you can see with the background layer turned on, the image is stretched or smeared. When the background layer is turned off, elements from the distorted background are appearing, such as the extended black shoulder or the line coming out of the head.
The images I started with with were high res scans saved as grayscale TIFs. I converted them to PSD and switched the color space to RGB. I did my work in Photoshop and imported them into Motion which is when the problems began.
I suspect the problem may be my graphics card which is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I am running Motion 3.0.2 and Leopard 10.5.8. My Motion project settings are XDCAM EX 1080p30.

I'm having a similar problem, but changing the resolution to the exact max of 2896x2896 doesn't work for me...and neither does any smaller resolution for some reason.
Today, my layered PSD file is at least not experiencing the crazy tile-effect you included in your posted images, but it is now:
1) always converting the top layer of the PSD file to a flattened image of the whole file.
2) ignoring/mutating my alpha channel information, as areas that should be transparent and smoothly masked off are now opaque and/or blocky.
My images are large, but I need to keep them large for dollying in real closely when i fly a camera through the scene. This is not a problem in After Effects, but I also need to do a lot of these 2.5D animations and several need particle/replicator effects... and I just work much much faster in Motion than AE. I don't remember having this problem with Motion 3 at all, but I can't say I've done a scientific comparison (nor do I want to uninstall M4 for M3).

Any body else having issues importing Photoshop .psd files in 10.1.3?

I used to load a .psd file into the timeline and as long as it was 8bit, RGB and all the layers were rasterized it worked like a charm. Now the individual layers do not show up, and it just loads .psd as normal images.
Am i missing something?

Yes I've tried it in 10.1.3. Looks like this
Can you post a copy of the PSD file somewhere that it can be downloaded?
Did you try trashing prefs though I don't see why it would effect this.

Photoshop CS6 colors have shifted for PSD files; no longer match Bridge colors, resulting jpg colors off too

Until last night, Photoshop has been working relatively well** (see below) However, I processed a batch of DNG files through Bridge and saved them as PSDs. When I opened up the new PSD files in PSCS5, the colors had shifted - more green, less saturated.
I went back to the DNG files and opened each up separately in PS - the color looked good. I edited them, saved them as PSD files, and reopened them in PS - the colors were bad.
I cleared the Preferences (by holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift) when restarting PS. Although it cleared up the pre-existing issue explained below **, it didn't fix the issue with the colors.
I rebooted my computer. No luck.
I looked for available updates. None available.
I recalibrated my monitor (ColorMunki). No luck.
I don't know what I did/what happened to cause the problem. The day before, everything was fine.
I tried to fix it by experimenting with option under View. The closest I could get the colors to matching those shown in Bridge was to set View--Proof Colors-- Monitor RGB.
But here's the kicker - when I did a "save as" in PS the resulting jpeg had the same gross color shown in PS before setting the proof colors to Monitor RGB - and the jpeg colors are gross in Bridge and PS! The same thing happens if I run a batch of PSDs via Bridge and save them as jpegs. The resulting jpegs look gross in both PS and Bridge.
HELP!
I'm using a PC with Windows 7. All the images jpegs, DNG and PSD are in the RBG color space.
**(except for one weird issue - when I would try to open up a color balance layer, it would open a levels layer instead)

I can't open up a specific .psd file in Photoshop cs6.

     Well, there's a specific file I can't open. I've worked on it previously, but a week later, and it won't open. All of my other PS CS6 files are intact, and will open immediately. However, this one file takes so long to load (2+ hours) that I end up restarting my computer in order to work on all of my other things. The size isn't the issue, either; it's only 70 megabytes, as opposed to some of my more heavy-duty files that run upwards 200 megabytes.
     I'm thinking about opening it on another computer to see what happens, but I'm concerned about the fact that I can't open this particular file. I'm not sure if it's corrupted, based on the fact that it just sits on my computer and just tells me that it's loading.
     Is there something I can do to make it open, or modify the file? I've already tried defragging my computer and other things, and I'm at a loss here. I really don't want to start working on this from scratch, so I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Unfortunately, few have ever had much luck rescuing information from corrupted PSD files.
Do you have a backup?

Why is my .psd file not rendering correctly in ae

Some layers of the .psd document are not rendered correctly. However they are imported.
The strange thing is that when I first move from Photoshop to Illustrator, save it as an .ai file it is rendered properly (in Ae).
I am kind of clueless as to what is causing this issue.
Kind regards,
Jelle

Okay if more information is needed, i'll provide. However you may disregard my initial comment about illustrator. It flattens the photoshop layers so I do not have any flexibility in After Effects. In other words, my main question remains: why is my psd file not rendering correctly in ae?
Further details:
-photoshop cc and after effects cc.
-macbook pro retina
If still not clear enough, please tell me what details you are looking for furthermore

CS6 Photoshop crashes when trying to use type tool or opening up .psd files. Any ideas on how to fix it???

I have Adobe CS6 Design Standard (MAC). I have had it about a year and a half and use it a ton! Just yesterday while I was using Photoshop, I clicked to use the type tool, the "initializing type tool" box popped up then a few seconds later the whole program crashed. I tried opening it back up and every time I did it just kept crashing. I restarted and shut down my computer, but still no solution. I even uninstalled the program then reinstalled. Same thing. All of my other tools work just fine (brush tool, eraser, crop, etc.). Also, when I try to open up a .psd file the program crashes as well.
I tried searching the internet for solutions, but couldn't find much. One suggestion was to delete the Adobe Photoshop program settings file, I did that but it still didn't work. After each crash a report would be sent to Adobe, then another window would pop up saying that Adobe has found a solution for the recent crash. There is a link that says "please CLICK HERE for further details" but the link doesn't take me anywhere. It just doesn't work!
Has anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas on how to fix it? I really need to get this up and running again!!!

This is a user to user forum and Adobe Staff does drop by.
First thing to try is Reset the Type Tool by right-clicking on its' icon in the Options bar.
If you still have problems, it could be related to fonts. Here is a step by step troubleshooting help doc for that.

ITunes/iOS no longer syncs .PSD files?

So I've recently updated my iPod Touch 4 and iTunes to their latest versions, on Windows 7. I'm not sure which update caused the issue, but iTunes is no longer syncing my PSD files created in Photoshop Elements 7 to the iPod. I tried to delete the Photo Cache but to no avail. Prior to doing that, iTunes didn't actually erase any PSDs; it just didn't add my new ones. Now all of my photos are deleted from the iPod, and now NONE of my PSD files will sync.
How can I resolve this? My PSD files are very important to me, and I do not want to have to save them in a PSD AND a JPG just to sync the former format to my iPod for viewing.

I've had exactly the same issue with my iPhone 3GS and iTunes 10.4. I reported it to Apple and was told it was likely an error that crept into 10.4 and to expect a fix in an upcoming release of iTunes. I'm waiting for that to happen still...

Why Can I No Longer View .PSD Files In Windows?

Recently, I installed PS CS3 10.0 Extended on my PC. It replaced PS CS3 10.0.1 Extended, a version which was not mine. Before the change, I was able to 'view' the .PSD files in Windows. Now, all I am able to view is the icon.
I addressed this in the Microsoft forums, to no avail, as of yet.
Is this an issue with Windows or, perhaps, a setting in PS? I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
Su Hall

Su,
The display of PSD's in Windows is related to the psicon.dll (think that is the correct name). It was included for years in PS, but was discontinued, due to troubles at about the time of XP. At one time, the user could get a copy of that .dll, and install it, however at a point in the past, that trick stopped working for most users. Not sure why you had the Thumbnails for a while, but not now. My guess is that the .dll was removed, or corrupted.
I just use other utilities, like Bridge, and ThumbsPlus, and seldom have my View Option set to Thumbnails in Windows.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW - what OS are you on?
