Video frame won't open in Photoshop CS6

I recently upgraded to CS6 and am having a problem with Photoshop.
In my previous version (CS5.1) I could drag a single frame of video from a .mov file and drop it onto my Photoshop icon and Photoshop would open that frame as new document.
But now in CS6 when I try to do this I get the following error:
"Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
Why won't this work now in CS6?
I'm on a Mac Pro, 12-core Intel with 24 gig of ram. Everything updated and licensed.
Thanks.

Hi Meredith,
I'll try attaching a little video, showing what I'm talking about. But here's a bit more detail.
I used to be able to open a Quicktime movie, scrub to a particular frame, and then drag that frame from the QT player onto the Photoshop icon in my dock and it would open in Photoshop as a new document.
The document would have the name "Movie Clipping", and it would just contain that single frame.
This worked regardless of the QT file's codec (H264, AppleProRes, Animation... etc.)
But when I try this drag and drop from the QT player onto the CS6 Photoshop icon, it always errors.
Hopefully this video attachment will work. Thanks for your help.

Camera Raw won't open in Photoshop CS6

Wanting to begin using the Camera Raw plug-in for PS CS6, I find that it isn't active. (1) In Bridge CS6, the ACR icon in the top menu is grayed out; (2) after clicking a JPEG image file in Bridge, then right-clicking it, there's no option to open it in Camera Raw; (3) using Bridge's File menu, there's no Camera Raw option visible; and (4) in PS CS6, going from File > Open, then choosing "Camera Raw" in the Enable options drop-down list, each JPEG file is grayed out.
My attempts to activate Camera Raw involve (1) downloading DNG Converter 8.7.1 and (2) attempting to download ACR 8.3…Adobe Update. That second effort failed, getting this error code: "Camera Raw 8.3(CS6) U44M2P7". I currently have AdobeCameraRaw7.0ALL and AdobeCameraRawProfile7.0ALL installed on a Mac running OS10.7.6.
I don't know what else to do. Please tell me how to activate Camera Raw using Photoshop CS6.
Thank you very much.

Benjamin, I thank you very much for your prompt and helpful e-reply!
I've downloaded and installed the ACR plug-in for v. 8.7.1.311 Now, files open in Camera Raw, as expected, when using Bridge CS6. That's great.
I have two questions, Ben:
1 -- -- Although the first three options that I mentioned above (working from Bridge) are successful, I'm unable to open JPEGs in Camera Raw directly from Photoshop [as in option (4) above]. I'd like to be able to open JPEG files from PS; is there a preference I need to set to get PS to recognize and enable ACR?
2 -- -- Should I now delete all files related to AdobeCameraRaw7.0ALL? Or are those files required to run with the new plug-in?
Thank you, my friend.

Bridge won't open within Photoshop CS6

I have no problem opening bridge on its own, or if I right-click on an image in my folder, but if Photoshop is open and I click on the "Launch Bridge' button at the bottom, I see "Waiting for bridge to open" forever. And then if I launch bridge on its own, close Photoshop, and restart Photoshop and now click on it, it will open quickly. I don't understand why this is so. Can anyone shed any light on this pls?
Thank you

Indesign CS6 won't open after Photoshop CS6.

Indesign was working like a charm, then I had to install Photoshop which installed without error, since then whenever i launch indesign the splash screen comes up and gets as far as "setting up service registry" and then just disapears. It works with other users on the PC and I have tried creating a new profile for the user without any joy.
The following error is in the event log:
Faulting application name: InDesign.exe, version: 8.0.0.370, time stamp: 0x4f72c3ee

Its running on windows 7 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated.

The program has been uninstalled and reinstalled and the problem is still there. I was considering running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, and reinstalling, However from the documentation it looks as though it is for installation issue? Would it be of any help or is there a better tool to use to remove all traces of indesign from the PC/Registry? so i can reinstall?
As This issue was caused by installing photoshop is there any mileage with uninstalling both then reinstalling them?

I had to do a system restore on my MacBook Pro. Every app opens except Photoshop CS6. I get an error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error."

My Mac was rebooted off the system disk. I have CS6 for Design and Web. Every other app opens. The only one that won't open is Photoshop. I tried to launch it without the preferences file, it still didn't launch. The Plug-ins folder is empty except for a folder called Panels, which is also empty. Should I uninstall and then reinstall?

Consider resetting the Pen tool by right clicking here
and if that doesn't solve the problem a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.
By the way, if "The custom shape tool is 99% of what I use!" have you considered Illustrator?

HI,
If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
With Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself (on it's own) and restart iChat (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.
This just started happening.... When I open Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 in Windows 7 and click on Organizer to open my catalog, I get a message that reads, " The catalog could not be opened because it is currently in use by another program." I know of no other program. I do backup my pictures with a Seagate backup external drive. How can I resolve this so I can work with my pictures again. Could this have anything to do with Adobe's switch to Adobe Revel?

Have you tried restarting the computer?

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Some video's won't open in flash player

I have windows XP service pack 3 and IE 8. On some web sites, some but not all of the video's won't open.I get no error code or anything, but there is what looks like a capital "T" in the upper left corner of the box where the video should be. There is what looks like a red dot in the left angle of the "T". I have the most current flash player, 10.1.102.64 as confirmed when I go to Adobe ..../about. The same video will play if I use Chrome, and the strange thing is that the same video WILL play if I open IE8 using my wife's user account. I have concluded that it must be one of my IE8 setting, but I have compared setting on the two accounts and I can't find the problem. Any suggestions?

If the .swf, you need to create a file association to the projector.

Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?

Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?
I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.
I spent hours working on this, so please let me know what the hell happened and how I can make sure it never happens again...
also--why would CS6 come with such a devastating feature?!?! Who came up with this???

Welcome to the forum.
I did not see any reference to Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Did you use one of those?
Good luck,

Why do i get an error 16 when i try to open adobe photoshop cs6 on my mac?? plz and thank you

when i try to open adobe photoshop cs6 on my mac an error 16 pops up. can anynone tell me the solution??plz

When it happened to me, it turned out that my permissions to the Application Support folder was unintentionally changed during an update, causing the problem.
A Terminal command fixed it. Copy and paste into Terminal. You need to be allowed to administer this computer from your account.
If you are asked to enter a password, enter it blindly, because usually there are no dots and cursor movement when you do.
sudo chmod -R 777 /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe
