Will layered psd documents created in CS4 open seamlessly in Elements 12

I am switching from a PC to a Mac and with this change I cannot afford to upgrade my CS4 to the newest version. Because of this I will instead be purchasing Elements 12. I have done a great deal of digital scrapbooking in CS4 and therefore I have a lot of layered psd files. With these psd files open smoothly/seamlessly in Elements 12?

The files should open no problem in pse 12, but certain kinds of layers like adjustment layers (curves,b&w, color balance, channel mixer, exposure, vibrance and selective color) can't be edited in pse 12.
Other things like layer groups are not easily editable in pse 12.
Not to mention a host of other features that photoshop cs4 has that photoshop elements 12 doesn't.
You should probably download the 30 trial version of pse 12 and see if it will do for your kind of work.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
If you aren't familiar with the creative cloud, which is subscription only, you can get the latest version of photoshop cc 2014 and lightroom 5.6 for around $10 a month
(plus photoshop cs4 is out of the upgrade loop anyway)

For some reason my 09' pages will not view documents created in Word 10' any suggestions?

For some reason my 09' Pages will not open any documents from 10' Word. It simply opens up blank. Any suggestions?

I updated my pages and os. I am currently running 09' pages and os 10.6.7. The link I gave you earlier was not correct. I have attached one I just opened up with microsoft word on another computer. My pages opens up but is blank. The link is below:
https://www.vendorportal.ecms.va.gov/FBODocumentServer/DocumentServer.aspx?Docum entId=191194&FileName=VA-255-11-RP-0197-0004000.doc
The only other thing is that word opened it up in compatibility mode and said that the document originated from the internet. Could this be something that is causing pages to not open? Thanks for all of your help.

Pages 5.0 will not save documents created in Pages 09

I have hundreds of important documents I created and saved in Pages 09. I got a new Mac Mini running Mavericks 10.9.5 with the new Pages 5.0. The new Pages will not save my Pages 09 documents. Pages 09 will not save them either. Help!

1. Is it possible you installed from a demo installer and your 30 day trial period is up, when it goes into Read Only mode?
2. Where and what was your purchased disk?
3. Where are you saving to?
4. Have you tried saving somewhere else eg an external hard drive and see what happens then?
5. The auto-saving issue with Pages 5.2.2 could be problems with iCloud and online access.

I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files?

I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files? What can be done so that I can either open and see the layers or how can the sender save it in a way that it doesn't "merge" the layers in some way to just one?

Could try saving as tiff provided layers and transparency are chosen at the time of saving. But it's hard to give a definitive answer as it depends on the final usage. For example PSD's tend to work better in applications like In Design in comparison with tiff.

Document created in Pages 06 will no longer open with it!

I have a document created in Pages 06. I have the trial version of Pages 08, but it's run out of it's trial period. I just opened the document briefly to read it, and 08 opened it. I wanted to see it in 06, as I needed to change it and save it, but, once closed, if I try to open it with version 2, I get a message saying it needs a newer version to open it! Get Info makes it appear that I can open it with version 2 by selecting that, but in the end, I get the same error message. It's looking like I'm being forced into upgrading here! Any help? P.S. In Get Info window, I see that version 3 is marked "default." Perhaps if there were a way to change that, I'd be OK. But "changing all" in that same window does not fix the problem.

It would appear that you saved that document at least once with Pages 3/'08. Unless you marked the box to save in iWork '06 format, it will save in the current version. Changing would require opening it in Pages 3 & saving as iWork '06.
If it is only that one file, you can send it to me (zip/archive it first) & I will save it as Pages 2 & send it back. Click my name in blue next to this post. My public e-mail address is in the biography section. Just replace (AT) with @.

OS 10.6.8 on documents created by Pages 3 will not open They want a Version 4 while my iMac does not install because it needs 4 Pages 10.7. But I can not install 10.7 because my iMac is not Core2 duo ... Funny dilemma!!

You should be able to Save as: iWork 08, but i don't know how it works on Mountain Lion. On my Snow Leopard the Save as window has a part looking like this
Or you can send me the document if you are in a hurry and I save it as iwork 08 for you. Click on my blue name and you'll find my address.

How do I open documents created in apple works that will no longer open?

How can I open documents created in appleworks that will no longer open now that I have pages?

If you have the Apple iWork '09 suite installed, you can open pure AppleWorks word processing, spreadsheet, or presentations in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote respectively. You can not open AppleWorks documents in Pages v5, Numbers v3, or Keynote v6.
If you do not have the above iWork '09 suite, then download the free LibreOffice suite. Drag and drop your AppleWorks documents on the LibreOffice icon, and it will sort out what will open them. Note: LibreOffice will pause shortly after it takes you to an optional donation page — before continuing the download. Everything installs under /Applications/LibreOffice.

Pages Documents created on iPad or iCloud will not open in iWork Pages on Macbook

I recently purchased the iPad Air and installed the latest version of Pages on it to share and create documents in Pages over iCloud between my devices. Before, I never had any issue creating a Pages document, say on a Windows OS at work, and then opening it up on my Macbook Pro in the latest version of Pages (5.0). Now when I attempt to open a Pages document created or edited on my iPad or through a browser using iCloud, it will give this message on my Macbook:
"You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store."
I have repeatedly checked and all software is up to date. I have also attempted turning iCloud off and on again on both devices. One of the biggest reasons I bought the iPad was to have my documents on the go, but if I can't edit them later on my laptop, what's the point? Any ideas?

Jeff,
In the few moments after answering your first reply, I double-checked the Mac App Store and it revealed an update for Pages 5.1 -- Issue Resolved! I guess it was just cranky software today. Thanks for your patience.

Action recorded using RAW open step will not work with layered PSDs

Hello,
The title says it all.
I have an action for resizing photos (and some other things), that I want to make general enough to work on NEF's, JPG's and PSD's. When I recorded the action I used a NEF file and the action works great also for JPEGs and also PSDs that don't have layers. When running the action on a layered PSD, the step immediately after the "open" step fails, no matter what it is. For example, if it's "hue/saturation", I get the error "hue/saturation not available".
So I was thinking that the image should be first flattened so I added 2 additional steps just after the open: one to add a dummy 0-opacity layer and another step to flatten the image. But no matter what, I keep getting an error at the step after the open: "new adjustment layer not available" or the like.
I'm thinking that the problem is with the open step actually. For some reason, the o CameraRaw open step is unable to produce a suitable image out of a layered PSD.
Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!

Thanks for the explanation.
However, I am still puzzled as to how the programme can detect lack of time code when the tape was not even rewound or played. I belive the time code is written on the tape.
Anyway, I tried iMovie and found that the programme detects the camera and controls it. However, it does not recognise the downconverted DV signal. When I turned the DV conversion off, the video was detected and imported using MagicMovie in HD. I still have not gone round to burning on a DVD. ( I only read the article mentioned by Sue after having tried the iMovie programme - somehow the link that was so clearly stated in the reply missed my notice earlier on).
I have actually recorded the downconverted DV video on a standalone Phillips DVD recorder but the DVD only plays in that recorder and my Mac DVD Player even tho I have finalised the +R disk. The same problem occurs with a +RW disk.
I appreciate the replies and the explanations. Thanks.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
My home and office have different version each.

Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems.

Open multi-layered PSD & always work on original?

Hey guys,
I have two problems with new Aperture.
1) In Lightroom I was used to drag a PSD-File on the Photoshop icon and Photoshop openeded my PSD like I saved it with all my layers and preferences. If I do that in Aperture I just get a small and one-layered version of it. So I always have to click on "show in finder" and then I can open my PSD file from there. Can I change that somehow? I just want to open my original, mulit-layered PSD-file in Photoshop out of Aperture without anychanges or copies.
2) Can I turn these "working copies" ("Arbeitskopien" in german) off somehow? I always want to work on my original photographs and PSD-files without an extra copy of the file whenever I do something.
Thanks a lot!

Select Photoshop as your external editor and PSD as the external editor file format under Preferences->Export. Then select the photo, right-click, edit with Photoshop. This will not create an extra copy of any PSD in the library.
Selecting an orignal RAW-photo will always create a PSD, since Photoshop is unable to read the adjustments Aperture made. This behaviour is probably different from Lightroom, because LR and PS use the same RAW-engine.

Pages App on Mac won't open documents created on iPad

My pages app on my mac wouldn't open documents created on my iPad, it said that I needed to down load the newest version which I belive I had. So I put it in the trash hoping I could re install but now I can't open it at all :-(

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Can't open documents created in Pages with macBook pro running maverick

Hello,
I just bought the new MacBook Pro and downloaded iWork. Now when I create a document in Pages and save it to Documents, I can't open it. I get an error messages saying a file is missing. Also, all my old documents created with Pages that I transfered from my old MacBook won't open. It says file too old, need to save to Pages 09.
Tried opening the old documents in Pages 08 and saving them, but still can't open them.
Any suggestions?

Further to my earlier post about this problem, our IT man came in to the office, by coincidence, so I grabbed him and it seems that he has cracked it.
You need to proceed as follows :
Select the document by single click on the icon (i.e. select it but don't double click which will try to open it.)
Go to File Menu and chose "Get Info"
Half way down the drop down menu, chose "Open with" then select Pages 4.0 (i.e. the iWorks 9 version)
This process will open that particular iWorks 8 document.
But, if you also tick the "Change All" box it means that opening with the new version of Pages will become the default and will apply to all iWork 8 documents so you should not need to bother with this ever again.
So far, that seems to work.
(One might have thought it would have been a good idea for Apple to have built this in as a default ?)

Does iWork for iOS allow me to open and edit documents created in the Microsoft Office suite?

Hi all,
I have just purchased an iPad 2 32Gb. I want to be able to use it for work.
I need to be able open and edit documents created in Microsoft Office. Primarily .doc and .docx files. Is this possible? or am I better with D2 or Documents to Go.
Also, can I save a document attachment from an email and open it on my iPad for reviewing and editing?
Cheers
Mr Bunyip?

Yes, "pages.app" will open these files. In the same manner "numbers.app" will open xls,xlsx and "keynote.app" will open powerpoint files.
iwork09 files from a Mac can also be opened. And you can save each files back in various file formats, also save them as pdf.
Also, can I save a document attachment from an email and open it on my iPad for reviewing and editing?
Yes. "open in .." then a suitable app is in the list : say you get a docx, then pages will be presented as app to open it.
Cheers
Mr Bunyip?
Enjoy it.
