Unable to Open Photoshop

When I attempt to open "Photoshop Elements 11" I get an error message stating "Photoshop unable to open due to missing file, please reinstall" This program worked fine yesterday. I did reinstall Photoshop 11 and it seemed to be OK except when I tryed to ope the program I recived the same error message, Unable to open due to missing file. I tryed Photoshop 9 and got the same message. Preimere Elements 11 works fine.
PLEASE HELP ME.

Hi Frank,
Are you on Windows or Mac?  Does it give any info about what specific file in missing? Sometimes there is an option to show more info or something like that.

    Hi there,
    I'm very sorry you're having issues opening Photoshop. There is a special help page just for this error here. Additionally, there is an older thread where a user found the Licensing Repair Tool (located here) to fix this issue. Give it a try! I hope this helps.

  • I am currently unable to open photoshop CC/Win7

    I have the monthly service. I use am using a windows 7 system. I have opened photoshop twice and now it won't open. When i click on it the hour glass flickers and then nothing. Everything thing else seems to be functioning fine on my computer.  I have read through some of the other discussions and trried to use the task manager with no success. I have shut down and restarted, only to find it un changed.  I try to open photoshop files from my pictures, nope. As the right click administrator option, and nothing. I feel it may be caused by not closing the program. Any ideas?

    1. reset your preferences: hold down ctrl-shift-alt while starting ps cc.  you will see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
    2. if that fails: uninstall ps cc, restart your computer and reinstall ps cc.

  • Unable to open Photoshop Elements 2.0

    I just installed Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) and get this error message when I try to open Photoshop Elements 2.0: "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit." My guess is that Photoshop Elements 2.0 will not run on Leopard. Is this true and is there a Mac software compatibility list somewhere so I can be sure I buy the correct version of Photoshop Elements? Thanks.

    Yes, it's true that Elements 2 won't run on Leopard. Which is a pity; it's my favourite version. I had to "downgrade" to Elements 4 when I installed Leopard.

  • Why am I unable to open Photoshop from my Adobe Application Manager?

    Whenever I attempt to open Photoshop on my Application Manager nothing happens.  On the right hand side it says that Photoshop is up to date, but it doesn't give me the option to download.  Any suggestions?

    JJMack gave you the correct answer.
    It sounds to me that you were asking that question because of a possible misconception. namely that the application needs to be downloaded every time you want to use it.  That is incorrect.
    Once installed, the Photoshop application resides permanently on your hard disk.  If Photoshop is fully updated, there's absolutely nothing to "download".

  • Unable to Open Photoshop CS6

    I have been using Photoshop CS6 Extended Since the beginning of January '13. About a month ago whenever I opened it a pop-up window advert for Creative Cloud would come up, which I have no interest in at this time, and the only way I could get into Photoshop was first to click on the close window button (I us a 27 inch iMac), and then click on the "Yes" tab in response to "Are you sure you want to close." This was a bit annoying to have to do every single time I opened photoshop, but at least I could still access the program. Now the tab closes and photoshop does not open at all, implying that the only way in is to opt in to a trial of a service I have no interest in. Any ideas of how I might fix this issue?
    Jonathan

    try this--
    Mac OS: Choose Applications > Adobe Application Manager (if it's there)
    open the application manager--look for 'updates- or updater and uncheck it--then try launching Photoshop (it might work)

  • Unable to open Photoshop 7 missing a file HELP!

    I had a virus sometime ago, when I went in to open Photoshop 7 I noticed my Icon was missing from my desktop, I looked into the photoshop 7  and files are there but I do not see an exe file, and really not sure what files are missing looks to have most other files just no exe file.   how can I get it back, I cannot find my install disk, I do have my serial #, is there anyway I can download the needed files?

    I am sorry Webgirl0284 but we do not have Photoshop 7 available for download or any replacement media.  I would concur with Rave that you may want to look at Photoshop Elements 11 for a low cost alternative which may give you the functionality you need.  You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html.

    I doubt you need anything special. The files should open without conversion. You can double check with Adobe.

  • Unable to open Photoshop Touch PSD in Adobe Collage ?

    Hi,
    I just create some text in Photoshop Touch and saved it to my Creative Cloud as a PSD.
    When I add an image in Adobe Collage the PSD is not shown with the other files. It is there in the Photoshop Touch Cloud folders.
    I can add an image saved as a PSDX, JPG and PNG.
    Will Adobe Collage only open PSD files from Photoshop CS 5.5 ?
    Sean Udal

    Sean,
    Yes, If you upload your PS Touch creations to Creative Cloud as a .PSD files these are not available for import in Collage. We have a bug logged for this and  we are investigating this issue. We would keep you informed via this thread.
    However for now, as a workaround, you can upload the same creation to Creative Cloud as any other format (.PSDX, .JPG or .PNG) and import it in Collage.
    Or
    You can download the .PSD file from Creative Cloud on your desktop and upload it again. It would start showing up for import in Collage.

    I was getting an error on my iMac computer when trying to open up CS4. I deleted the files and reinstalled 3 times and still getting error and unable to upload file. Please help. I have done the steps that the customer care site told me to, but still errors!

    If you deleted files it is not a good thing.  You need to uninstall, run the adobe script cleaner, then reinstall.

  • Unable to open Photoshop CS5 from LR3

    Just installed LR3... and found that when I have a photo open in it and  I  attempt to go to "Photo" / "Edit in"  within LR3 all references to Photoshop are "Dimmed". Have checked everything I can think of in Preferences, etc. but can't figure out why I can't get PS to open... The photo file is a Tiff... I opened all of them in LR 2.7 without any problem.
    The only program that I am able to access is Canon DPP. Help or suggestions???
    I know it must be something really simple,,, Thanks

    Or remove and reinstall CS5 if you are uncomfortable editing your registry.
