Suddenly can't open multiple image files in CS5

I recently transferred LR 5.3 and CS5 (12.04x64X) onto a new PC (OS Windows 7 64-bit). Both programs are working fine individually. And single images in LR open just fine for editing in CS5. But when I try to open multiple images (to merge as a panoramic) or open multiple images as separate layers, nothing happens.  CS5 opens on top of LR, but the files themselves never open. No problems doing this a few days ago with my older computer (same programs, same operating system).
Any suggestions for fixing this would be much appreciated.

When you say nothing is showing up, do you mean it is as if you didn’t use File / Open, or is it more that there is something but it is gray or white or black without any image detail?  If the latter, perhaps something like a video driver update or system-level change has made things incompatible with how PSE11 tries to display images.
Have you rebooted?
Have you reset your preferences?  You can do this by holding down Ctrl-Shift-Alt at the same time while PSE11 is starting up (or at least while the editor is starting up) and you’ll get a message about deleting the preferences file or not before you see the splash screen.   Various other key combinations will ask for an additional plug-ins folder or a different scratch disk location.  If you are going to delete your preferences file you might want to review the settings, first, in case there is something important you need to reconfigure once the preferences have been reset.

  • Suddenly can't open any image files in PSE11

    Last used PSE11 a couple of months ago. The organizer and Elements worked normally. Today I attempted to open some JPEG files in Elements on my PC and nothing shows up in the photo bin or the editing window. Tried with a varieity of JPEGs and non of them open in PSE11. Used the Organizer with no problems but Elements simply won't load any image file of any type.
    Opened a couple of my images in a photo editor that came with my PC and Windows Paint with no problems. What the heck is going on here?

  • Can't open disk image file

    I saved my iDVD project as a disk image onto my hard drive. All of the encoding took place as if I were burning it to a DVD disk. After the encoding was finished, two icons popped up on my desktop: One with a .img extension, and one with a hard drive type image with only the project name and no extension. When I try to open either one of them, my project does not come up. The .img file is totally empty. The other file, the one named "my project name", has an Audio_TS folder which is empty and a Video-TS folder that contains six files, all of which require a "choose application" to open. I tried iDVD as an application, but that didn't work. How do I get my iDVD project to open so that I can burn a DVD disk from it? Right now, the two icons on my desktop are useless.

    The other file, the one named "my project name", has an Audio_TS folder which is empty and a Video-TS folder that contains six files, all of which require a "choose application" to open.
    This is the mounted disk image file and can be played with Apple's DVD Player application. BTW, the AUDIO_TS folder Should be empty - it's not used in video DVDs.

  • HELP! How can I open illustrator cs1 files in cs5

    I updated my old cs package to cs5 and now when I try to open those old files it says that can´t open the illustrator, also old acrobat files seems to be corrupted in my computers opinion. Can you please help me how can I open those? Thank you so much in advance

    You say that it says "can't open the Illustrator". Does that mean the application won't start?
    Will the application start without double-clicking a document?
    How are you trying to open the files (double-clicking the file, dragging the file over the application icon, using the application file-open menu)?

  • Can I Open a CS6 File in CS5?

    So I guess the question asks it all.
    Can I open an Adobe Dreamweaver html doucment in CS5 if I've made it in CS6?
    Just wondering cause I want to do some work on a project at home.
    Thanks in advance, hope this question isn't too noobish (it probably is...)

    Absolutely.  You might not see all the new GUI features (ie: fluid grid), but the code will remain the same.

  • Can you open InDesign CS files into CS5?

    Hi all,
    My former company wishes to upgrade their ooooooooooold software to the latest version:) They currently have InDesign CS and want to make the leap to CS5. The question is...will it be possible to open their current CS files into CS5 once they make the switch? This is really important of course.
    Thank you very much in advance for your help:)

    Did you try https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?ref=sup&product=indesign?
    Anyhow, if it fails, it should be the latter, or something else busted; Creative Suite Trial Versions says:
    CS5.5 trials
    Creative Suite 5.5 product trials will be available for download soon.  Be notified when they are available.

  • Can I open multiple jpeg files in Adobe Camera Raw ?

    Hi, it seems that I cannot do this - not an option in PE11 ??  Such a pity if not ! 
    I can open one JPEG at a time, or multiple Raw images in ACR. 
    Have checked other sources including Barbara Brundage "The Missing Manual" but whilst it does not
    specifically say you cannot, likewise there is no indication that you can.
    Cheers
    Mistyisle

    Many thanks, Barbara.  Must admit I had more or less assumed that was the reason.  Just living in hopes !

    PS  - your manual is excellent, an invaluable resource 

  • [AS] Can't open multiple indd files of a chosen folder

    Hi,
    I just can't get the opening of a bunch of indesign files inside a chosen folder with AS.
    I write this :
    --Prompt the user for a folder to be picked including indd files
    set
    b originfolder
    to (choose folder with prompt "Choisissez le dossier contenant les fichiers Indesign")
    --Try to open all the indd files included in the
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3" to open every file whose extension ends with ".indd" of folder
    b finalfolder
    end tell
    I am going nuts failing. I heard about a "creating list of files" way but when I try it, error says that it can't convert the files to a string.
    Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Larry,
    You 're right.
    This is the point, it works fine !
    thanks

  • Suddenly can not open a.TXT file... whahoppened?

    Hi,
    I am running latest OSX and my wife was in her account and trying to work. She downloaded a .TXT file that she wanted to open and when she tried it said she didn't have the necessary permissions. She is not an admin on this machine but this used to work in her account and now it doesn't and I can't figure out why!
    HELP

    Have your wife log onto to her account and navigate to the .txt file she downloaded. If it isn't already there, drag it to the Desktop so it's easier to work with. Now, select that file and click Command + I A window will open. Click the pop up menu and click Text Edit.
    Now, go back into the admin account and run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utilities is in your Applications/Utility folder.
    Hope this helps,
    Carolyn

  • Photoshop CS6 Retail Subscription suddenly will not open any image files

    I signed up for a trial subscription and I have 18 days left.
    I was using this as recently as yesterday and it was fine.
    Even the 'windows' menu shows no open windows BUT the recent places menu shows the files I tried to open.
    What could the problem be?

  • I suddenly can not open pdf files. I have had Adobe Reader Xl and just ran into this problem

    I have had adobe reader xl for some time and suddenly can not open a pdf file. I received an email yesterday with a pdf attachment which I can not open. What could be my problem?

    Can not in my post means I tried to open a pdf attachment to a email. I received  nothing happens. I do not get a blank screen or any messages. Nothing Nothing happens at all. I can click several times and get no response.
    I did discover that by clicking on the Adobe Icon on my deskt topi get an Adobe box containing  "Do you want to allow changes to your computer. I click Yes and get to my computer where I can find the above mentoned attachment which I think I had previously saved. I then get the attachment whick I can print. This may be printing from my hard drive - I am not sure. I think I could go through this procedure every time I want to open a atachment but it seems a long way around.
    Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I have thought about removing Adobe and reinstalling. Maybe there is a corruption to my Adobe file.

  • Suddenly cannot open an image file

    PS 7 on a Vista machine with lots of RAM.
    All has been working well for months and suddenly I cannot open any image file or start a new one. Tried re-installing from OEM disc and no improvement. Removed PS7 VIA the Windows utility and re-installed entire application from OEM disc with still no improvement.
    When I try to open or start a new image the blue bar at the top of PS is illuminated, then I click on FILE and then on either NEW or OPEN. At that point everything stops. The drop down menus are grayed out and I cannot close the program by normal means. In order to close it I have to go to Task Manager and close the thing.
    BTW: Sometimes Task Manager shows that the PS EXE application is using 44K and other times it shows about 7K.
    Any suggestions will be happily recieved.  Jack

    I really hate to be a pain, but this has me stumped.
    I tried to go to the preferences as you suggested but the same thing happens there. PS just freezes up and cannot be used at all. Even the red X at the top right of the screeen does nothing. I have to use Task Manager in order to quit the program.
    I have removed PS from my machine VIA the Windows utility and reinstalled it several times with no improvement. I say that, but at one point I was able to open an image but when I tried to add another the system did the freeze up thing as above.
    At some point I began to get sort of an error message during the PS bootup telling me that the PS interface font could not be loaded and that I should reboot my machine. I did that but there has been no change.
    Frankly I cannot afford to buy time from Adobe to fix this so I am relying on you and the other folks on the board to hold my hand through this.
    I thank you for your time and expertise.
    Ralph
