When I import PSD file then Catalyst stopped working why?

HI,
When I import PSD file then Catalyst stopped working .why? it's a BUG?
Please find the attached image

I'm an a mac, and I haven't had the problem, so I'm not the best for advice. That said, I am sure FC on the pc can import .psd file. I would check the psd for anything "abnormal". If it is a complicated file, simplify as much as possible, flatten effects especially.
**Upload the psd, I could try to import it and upload a fxp

A frustrating problem I'm having importing PSD files into ID CS3

I am doing some page layouts for ads for magazines, and I've had a frustrating problem with Photoshop and InDesign CS3 for the longest time. Basically, I want to drag the PSD files we have already made for our products into my layout and use them as-is, but when I do so, they display as garbled ugly things in my InDesign CS3 layout, no matter what. The fix is for me to load the PSD, copy the contents, make a new file, paste the contents of the last other file, and save it as a new PSD file -- then things will work great. But this is a big pain in the buttocks and I'd like to fix the problem and eliminate this step.
You can see an example : http://twitpic.com/1kxp33 .
Basically, the image on the left shows the garbled image which has been dragged into the layout. It's just a normal PSD, single layer, but perhaps saved with some incompatibilty such as not being saved in "maximum compatibility mode" or having been saved with a color file attached. The pic on the right shows the correct image that I have manually resaved and imported.
Can anyone help me figure out why all of my PSD files are being garbled when I drag them into InDesign?

I just did a test there and the Maximise Compatibility had minimal effect (ironically) on how the image looks in InDesign CS3 or in InDesign CS5
However, I did get a warning that the image was saved witout Maximise compatibility and it may have an effect on performance, nothing else.
Perhaps the other people are not on the same version of photoshop as you are, perhaps run the adobe updater and make sure you're all on the same version update for both apps.
Trashing preferences might clear up your photoshop images - hold down the three modifier keys bottom left corner of the keyboard when starting photoshop (sorry Peter I don't remember the Mac Combo )
Really hard to know why this is happening though.

Import error when importing .psd file created in Photoshop CS3

I have a file that was created in Photoshop CS3. I am trying to import this file into Catalyst CS5, but I keep getting an input error. I created a file in Photoshop CS5 and I was able to import this .psd file successfully into catalyst. So I guess my question is this; Does Catalyst support .psd files created in Photoshop CS5 only? If this is the case, how can I convert the CS3 .psd to a CS5 .psd

I am now building my files using photoshop CS5. A few challenges I have experienced while trying to import into Catalyst:
- If I do a straight import into Catalyst, I loose all my colors in Catalyst. That is, catalyst imports all my vectors without any of the colors I had in Photoshop. My understanding is that Catalyst has libraries to support Photoshop files, so your import from Photoshop should not look any different in Catalyst.
Work Around: I have had to rasterize / merged all my image layers for the different components I have built in Photoshop CS5. Then when I start the import process I click the Advanced button on the catalyst import dialog. From the advanced dialog, I have to flatten (to bitmap) all the images I intend to import.
This process takes about two hours because I have a lot of components on the page.
Is there something I'm not doing right here? I'm not seeing the value add to Catalyst, if it's taking me this long to just import .psd files

Error when importing psd files into Premiere Pro

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Photoshop CS4. Whenever I attempt to import a psd file I get this error message: "File format not supported". I have tested it with different file sizes and properties. My files are RGB and 8 bits/channel. Is there any way to resolve this problem? I am also using Adobe After Effects and importing psd files works great with it.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
The RGB and 8-bit take care of two possible causes, so thanks for getting those out of the way early on.
Does the PSD file contain Layers? Are any of them mostly Transparent, with just a few pixels, such as a small logo? Those have created issues.
What is the exact version of CS4, that you are running? Seems that there WAS an issue with PSD's in an earlier version, and that a later update fixed that.
There is another element with PSD's, that has caused issues, but my feeble mind is suddenly blank on what that was about. Seems that Colin Brougham commented on it not that long ago. I'll see if I can drege up one of those threads, but you might aslo want to do a Search on "PrPro" and "PSD," though the forum Search might still be broken. Maybe Google, and also look for replies from Colin. I'll do the same too. IIRC, one had to Open the offending PSD in PS, and just do a Save_As with a short file name, and a short Path (not buried deeply inside a sub-folder structure), and all was good, but do not recall any other details at the moment. I would also eliminate any spaces in the new file name, just to eliminate any issue there - use the _ like in the old DOS days, though do not think that one had to adhere to the old 8.3 structure.
Good luck,
Hunt

Imported PSD Files Are Being Erroneously Resized in Captivate 4

I am trying to import PSD files to use in my Captivate 4 project. I verified that the PSD image size is 800 x 600, and my Captivate project dimensions are the same 800 x 600. But when the import process completes, the layers are erroneously resized to smaller dimensions. I have tried the same thing on two separate installations of Captivate 4 on two separate PC's with the same results.
Here is a screenshot of the PSD file in Photoshop (image size = 800 x 600):
Now here is a screenshot of what the imported PSD file looks like in the Captivate project (screen size set to 800 x 600):
When I do the import, I'm selecting: File --> Import --> Photoshop File..., then I select the "As Layers" option, and do not check the box next to "Scale according to stage size" (I have tried using this option as well with the same results, although I don't believe I should have to rescale when the PSD image size and Captivate project size are the same.)
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for such a prompt reply...the single .psd file with many layers is imported using:
Import Kind: Composition
Layer Options: Editable Layer Styles; Life Photoshop 3D (although there are no 3D layers in the .psd...so I'm unsure if this default is needed?)
Oh!! Never mind...I just tried Import Kind: Composition -- Cropped Layers and the layers were not cropped...kind of counter-intuitive since I would have thought "Cropped Layers" would crop the layers rather than the other way around.
Thanks for your help...if you just reply to this post I'll mark your reply as the answer, thanks for suggesting the direction to look for a solution, cheers!

Importing PSD files with layers.

Sometimes when I import Photoshop files that have layers,
I can double-click them, and they open as multi-layer sequences where I can control the opacity and blend modes of the layers. Sweet.
But then sometimes they don't, so I have to go back to PS and render .png's of the layers that I want.
So I ask: What am I doing wrong when it doesn't work as expected?
FCP 6.0.6
Best regards;
E.

PSDs from Windows machines will not open up as layers inside FCP. This has been an issue since the first days of CS.
Open those PSDs in Photoshop on a Mac, and then resave as PSD. They will then open up fine in FCP.

AME CC 2014 (latest) when I import a file, the last pre-set I used is automatically applied to the file

And I can't seem to find a way to stop this behavior.
If I control click on the preset below the file in the Queue Pane and select remove, it deletes the preset and the file from the Queue.
Any help appreciated.
thanks
MtD

I seem to recall the previously, when I imported a file into AME, no preset was applied until I selected one. Is that incorrect?
Or is the correct workflow to select the preset, then import the file?
As it is now, I have one extra step if I happen to not want the preset that was applied on import, I need to delete it - after adding the preset I do want. Seems an odd way to work to me.

Why does Premiere Pro CS3 no longer import .psd files?

Over in the German forum, BjoernG has already asked this question as of this past June. He's gotten no answer, so let's try it here. Like Bjoern I use PPro CS3. Mine is on WinXP with all updates. I import PSD files as keying masks. I've never had a problem until this evening (27 Aug 2014). I tried to import a mask I've used many times before. And it has always worked before. Tonight PPro refused to recognize .psd as a supported file type, so it didn't show in the import folder file list. When I told PPro to show "all files *.*", it showed the file. When I selected it, PPro even showed the "import file" window, then displayed the "File Import Failure" window with Error Message: File format not supported. See the picture.
This is a file I've imported into many previous projects with no problem whatever. In fact, I started with a project file from last year which showed the mask file in the project assets but offline! Even though the file had not been moved.
If PPro CS3 is as obsolete as Adobe claims it is, then who's been messing with it? And how can we get it "unmessed"?

I couldn't imagine what any of those steps would do for my problem – but I didn't have a better idea so I tried them:
> If Premiere is acting weird, restart computer.
It's a laptop, so it was off all night. I turned it on this morning.
> Hold down shift+alt while opening Premiere.
If I hold down shift-alt before clicking the desktop icon, all it does is select all icons from top left to the Premiere icon. It does not start Premiere.
If I press and hold shift-alt immediately after clicking the icon, Premiere displays every tiny module it loads rather than summarizing. I held shift-alt until Premiere was fully up and idle.
> Then empty all media cache.
I did that. As I write, Premiere is busy reconstituting all of that.
Then finally, the acid test: Try to import a .psd file. Bzz-z-zt! Still claims it's an unknown file type.
> jpegs do not have transparency. You can save as png instead.
I'm using it as a track matte key, so white is equivalent to transparent. I do have to select "matte luma" instead of "matte alpha" in the effect. I'll save your advice in case I ever do need transparency.
Follow-up: I checked my other licensed copy. It accepts .psds just fine. I checked Help About for both; they're identical: 3.2.0 (374). So the problem must be in an internal setting, an external influence, or a defective module. And remember, it's not just me, Björn in Germany reported the identical problem in June.

Layers of imported .psd files are cropped?

Hi, when importing .psd files the images on layers are cropped...?
In Photoshop an image on a layer is moved across the visible portion of the document as if it is animated, through the use of comp layers (each new comp layer the image is move a little bit). However after importing the .psd into After Effects only a portion of the image is visible...it is impossible to recreate the animation roughed out with Photoshop comps because some of the image on the layer being moved is cropped.
I hope that makes sense...how can .psd files be imported into After Effects without cropping? Thanks

Thanks so much for such a prompt reply...the single .psd file with many layers is imported using:
Import Kind: Composition
Layer Options: Editable Layer Styles; Life Photoshop 3D (although there are no 3D layers in the .psd...so I'm unsure if this default is needed?)

When I import my files only the audio plays back not the video. If I export the sequence its there?

When I import my files only the audio plays back not the video. If I export the sequence its there?
I am new to Premiere having just downloaded the 30 day trial yesterday, I jumped straight in and imported all of my files from my video camera however in Premiere only the audio plays back with the displays just showing a black space.
Out of curiosity I dragged three or four shots into the sequence editor and then exported them and played this through VLC and the video was there?
As I said I am completely new to Premiere having only spent around 3 or 4 hours with it in the past, I read a few forum threads around similar issues but couldn't find any solutions and as I am trying to edit together a short film for a college project due in soon I need to try and find a way to fix this A.S.A.P
Any help would be appreciated and if theres any more info I can provide please let me know.

Can not import PSD file (comes in as Quicktime Picture)

I've created a PSD for a layered menu in DVD Studio... but I can not get it to come into DVD Studio as layered PSD... comes in as QuickTime Picture.
PhotoShop - I am using PhotoShop v8.0 The image size is 720x486, 72 dpi. I have 18 layers, and have Rasterized all of the layers.
DVD Studio Pro - I am using version 4.0.3
I've had this problem, and it seems to be intermitent... some files work fine, others do not. I've been going back to an older version of Studio Pro to import the file, then opening it up in DVD Studio Pro 4. I'd like to find a fix.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tony

Quick update:
I opened a new PSD file, dragged all of the layers into the new PSD file... saved it &... it works! It comes in as a Photoshop Still. Why? As far as I can tell, the 2 PSD files are identical. Any thoughts on settings within PSD to insure I can import files into DVD Studio without issue?

When I import .jpg files they sparodically turn to black. Any suggestions?

I am using Premier Pro CS3. When I import .jpg files, they suddenly turn to black. Any suggestions?

Dan Isaacs wrote:
I also think that JPEGs themselves can be sometimes problematic in CS3. You may also want to try converting them to PSD or BMP.
As I remember from discussions on the old forum...
Depending on how the JPG was created (which software and/or which camera) there is sometimes "extra" information inside the file header that confuses Premiere since it is not part of the basic file specification
Solution was to open in Photoshop (or, rarely, a non-Adobe program) and save to a new name or, as Dan says, to a different format

Importing PSD files create a black line to the right of some images

I am importing PSD files into Framemaker 11 and they keep giving me a vertical line on the right side of some images. I already know that other image file formats don't cause this, but I prefer the practicality of PSD files and not having to deal with duplicate files of the same image. I figured that native Adobe files that are supposed to be cross platform compatible should work without any issues. I get lines when converting to PDF documents and when I print them out also. I’m getting ready to publish our catalog and would like to prevent the printer from cleaning them up again. Does anyone know how to fix it or if Adobe is currently addressing this issue ? Who can I contact to let them know about the issue, since it has been around from the time Frame started accepting PSD files?
Thanks,
Tomas

Hi ais007,
This is gonna sound really crazy, but this happened to me a couple of years ago. Below is the answer....hope it helps for you!
Found the answer to this in the framers digest mailout (framers Digest, Vol 71, Issue 9). Hopefully it wll help you too.
I am not sure about the Illustrator files, but for Photoshop, resize your images so that the last number is an even number. (example: change 3.25 to 3.24)
This worked for me! I couldn't believe it!

When I import .mts files into Premiere 7 the audio is intermittent?

Good afternoon. I am new to this forum and your help would be appreciated. I have recently purchased a Sony Hard Drive Camcorder X105E and I have done my first filming. When I import the files into Premiere Elements 7 and preview them the audio is intermittent on playback. What am I doing wrong cause I cant figure it out?
Thanks in advance for your answers

OK, on the I/O, you have one, nicely sized, physical HDD. You don't have it partitioned, do you?
With one physical HDD, so many things are happening at the same exact time:
1.) your OS is reading/writing to it
2.) your program is reading/writing to it
3.) your media is being read from it
4.) your OS's Virtual Memory is probably being used, so it's reading/writing to it
The problem is that all of these (plus possibly some other programs/Processes) are fighting to get their data handled at the same time. Each is telling the HDD that it needs the heads in one place on a platter. Same for the next program, and the next. Unfortunately, regardless of the speed of the HDD and the speed of the controller, the heads can only be in one place at one time.
Especially for the Audio (that is more I/O intensive, than the Video usually is - it taxes the CPU much more), you will benefit from more physical HDD's.
I just posed an ARTICLE in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum. It links to two articles by Harm Millard. His article on HDD setup is a gem. Now, it takes things to a professional NLE level, and few are quite ready for that, still the info is good. Much can be extrapolated from his suggestions. Though he lists the ultimate Video editing setup, many concepts can be applied on a smaller scale. You might want to read over the linked articles. They will give you some things to think about.
Also, I just saw an ad for a 1TB WD ATA-300 HDD for US$ 79.00 at Fry's Electronics. While you may need an ATA-100, this shows how far prices have fallen. I've got an ATA-100 1TB, to augment my 4x1TB SATA II's, and it's not that old. I paid US$ 400 for it! Should have waited, but then I've used it for the last year, so all is not lost.
Good luck,
Hunt
