PSE6 Not Opening .PNG Files

Hi,
I've seen this question posted before but I haven't been able to find an answer on how to correct it. I am running on a Mac OS and I have PSE6 (recently purchased and downloaded.) I am trying to open my .png files and it isn't working. I get an error message saying this type of file is not compatible (even though I have been able to open them in other versions of PSE.) Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

Did you drag you PSE icon and put out onto desktop. This might have caused part of the program to not be found. So drag it back under the application file in the correct directory and it should work. If not, I would suggest unloading and reloading.

DW won't open PNG file to edit in Fireworks

I have a complex Fireworks file inserted as part of my html page. I'm trying to edit and update it from Dreamweaver, but it will not open the file in Fireworks.
It's a png file that has been updated from an older version of Fireworks, but I've done a save-as and re-exported the slices and html, then re-inserted it into the page. It still will not open the file in Fireworks.
As a test, I created a new png file, exported it, inserted it into the html page, then tried to edit it in Fireworks. And that does allow me to edit, click done, and then the changes show up on the html page. So it's something with my original file, but I can't figure out what it might be.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Can you open images normally in Photoshop Elements? I would recommend including this information as well as which verson of iPhoto and Mac OS you are using to the Photoshop Elements forum. It might also possibly be a problem with iPhoto but the users in the Photoshop Elements forum should better be able to determine where the problem lies.

Can't open PNG files in PS CC

Hi.
I can't open png-files in PS CC. The following error message appears (Translated from Swedish): Can't fulfill your request because it's not the right type of document/file type.
Can anyone help me with this, please?
Thanks

Okay I have gone over some common problems. I don't know what else it might be.
Google "photoshop will not open png" and see if there are some answers we might have both missed.

Photoshop CC can´t open .PNG files?

I can´t seem to open .PNG files with Photoshop CC.
Looking around the net for answers i found out that resetting your Photoshop preferences might be able to solve the probem.
This unfortunatly creates a new problem, how do i reset the preferences in Photoshop CC? - all the guides/tutorials i found was for CS6 or older versions.
So how do i solve this problem?
Best regards
Jannik

Could not open the file. An internal error occurred.

Hi,
Anyone can solve my problem? Urgent!
I can't open a png file. Others files was ok, just only one file can't open after save.
It show : Could not open the file. An internal error occurred.
Thanks!

Seems like is corrupted during save or was caused by a Fireworks crash.
Try open with another version of Fireworks.

Could not open the file. Not enough memory

I have always used fireworks cs4 normally, but today, i experienced a bit of trouble. there is one png file that when i click to open it the fireworks loads but then a message pops up (could not open the file. Not enough memory) after a bit of researching, i found out that this error happens when i bring to stage one of the common libraries menu bars. (menu bar 4). Does anyone know how to fix this?
ps: I am able to open this file via file-open-*png. Please i really need help. Is the library corrupted maybe?

Hi,
It opened on mine (1.2Gb). I don't think it's a memory issue. I've used FWCS4 with 512mb RAM, never had such a problem. (of course it was very slow at the start, and i used to leave for a cup of coffee first and then come back when it was ready for work. That's why i upgraded to 1.2G .)
Import this menu bar from the common library, save it again as a png and then open it with fireworks the way you did, to see if the same error occurs.
Has this happened with other files as well?

How do I open png files and maintain transparency?

How do I open png files and maintain transparency? I have many image files I had hoped to manage with aperture along with my photos. I find that it wants to display them with a black bacground( they were designed for white) and when I want to edit that is kept even when I open with a psd format. What do I do?
Thanks

and when I want to edit that is kept even when I open with a psd format. What do I do?
Transparency and layers are not supported in Aperture. You can import png-files or psd files with a transparent background and export the originals unchanged, but as soon as you edit them, the transparent background will be lost.
Aperture is an application to manage photos and not graphics compositions, sorry.

Pse 6 opening png files

hello, I am having trouble opening png files on my pse 6. I have opened these files on other versions of pse before, but with this new version i can't open it. The message comes up that "could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file". Can anyone help.

First go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 Paths folder
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 Settings folder
Repair permissions and try again.
if that fails, try running the installer again over the current install (I'm assuming this is an admin account where you're having the problem), only choose Repair Components when you get to that screen. If you can't do that, try uninstalling and reinstalling.

I am trying to import developed images from LightRoom 5 Photoshop 6 for further editing. I am receiving this message and the images will not open.....'Could not open scratch file because the file is locked, or you do not have necessary access permissions or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file. How do I fix this?

Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

Bridge will not Open a File in Photoshop

Yesterday my Bridge stopped opening files. I have to go to the file folder once I know the file name and open it the old fashioned way. Anyone know if there is a secret code to get it to open files again?
This morning I went to the downloads and downloaded the latest Bridge update, but it did not debug it.
Even when you go to Bridge> File> Open, nothing happens.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. I had been using a trial version of Photoshop CS2 and Bridge worked fine when double clicking it opened files. I then upgraded to PS2 from Ver 3.0 I am a switcher. I installed my new Photoshop CS2 with phone support from Adobe. They had me delete ps2 trial version. I have also running a copy of Adobe Creative Suite CS student version. It still works when double clicking browser. I have not changed any Mac settings. I am using a G5 with 1 gigabytes RAM.
After using I noted immediately , that Bridge didn't resemble what I had seen in the trial version. It also did not open my files from Bridge to Photoshop when double clicking.
I called Adobe today. He had me delete all my settings for PS2 and shift command opt right after double clicking Bridge to reset something or other. He would not wait to see if it worked. he told me my problem had to do with file associations and it was beyond free tech suport. get off phone or give him a credit card. well. it still preforms as before. I cannot open a file from Bridge unless i use the finder and open with...and this only works for the one individual file. I can see no preference setting in finder nor in Bridge relating to assigning Bridge to open to ps2 upon double clicking. He told me...when i double click my Mac doesn't know if I am trying to view or edit. So it doesn't go to PS2. For god sake, I bought PS2 to edit of course if I am in it and click the Bridge icon or go to Bridge from the Dock I am intending to go to PS2. I have no other app to go to in the CS2 arena.
aside; how can i get from ps2 to any of my Creative Suite apps, say InDesign???

I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

Hi,
Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
Please let me know if that works.
If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

Could not open scratch file

When I try and open Photoshop, I get the following error "Could not open a scratch file because you do not have the necessary access privileges" followed by "could not initialize Photoshop because you do not have the necessary access privileges". As a result, Photoshop fails o open.
I have tried repairing Disk permissions, I have deleted the Photoshop Settings file, and I have tried Resetting Home Folder Permissions.
I am the primary user, and it's only my user account that has the problem. When I try and Reset Home Folder Permissions for my account, the process never completes. When I perform the reset for the other users, it takes seconds.
I've tried reinstalling Photshop, but still get the same error and Photshop fails to start.
I concerned this is the beginning of a worsening problem with OSX LION.
Any suggestions???

Hi,
having the same problem here. We have 10 Mac Pro machines with OSX 10.6.8 and CS5 Photoshop 12.0.4. By now five of these machines have given the same error: "could not open scratch file because disc is not available" and "could not save ... because of a program error".
The scratch disk is the same one which has the system and it hasn't been touched.
I have repaired the disk permissions.
This just started two days ago and haven't noticed it before. Any clues what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Janne
