Writing PSD with layers
I'm trying to generate a Photoshop file with Adjustment Layers. Does anyone have any pointers, or know of any methods of diagnosing problems in the file?
I've been able to make a file with multiple image layers which opens correctly in Photoshop. But when I try to make an adjustment layer, Photoshop won't open it, giving me the error: "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." I've tried adding various Image Resources and other bits, to no avail.
The few third party PSD parsers I've used don't seem to find any problem with the files I generate. For example, "psdparse" gives a very verbose breakdown of the file, and finds no errors.
Here's a link to a sample file: http://bensyverson.com/share/photoshop/test.psd (warning: 15MB link)
And here's the psdparse output:

done.
Thanks, Tom. The XML output of psdparse is much easier for me to interpret than the verbose console output I had been using.
Incidentally, I think I solved my problem today. From what I can tell, Photoshop cannot handle files with adjustment layers when the Background layer's compression is set to Raw (uncompressed). It's interesting, because PS has no problem opening my images with multiple uncompressed image layers, but as soon as I threw an adjustment layer in there, PS complained ("not compatible with this version of Photoshop").
Switching to RLE for the background seemed to do the trick.
Just an FYI / heads-up for anyone banging their head against this some time in the future.

Opening PSD with layers in photoshop touch
is it possible to open a PSD document with many layers in photoshop touch?
Sorry, no. (It was probably done as a mechanism to prevent crashing. PS Touch supports up to 12 layers vs. the hundreds (theoretically thousands) available in desktop Photoshop.)
You can, of course, do the reverse; open a PS Touch project exported as PSD or PSDX in Photoshop with layers intact. -
i have read a lot of comments about how aperture handles photoshop files with layers. there seams to be quite some confusion.
how does aperture lose photoshop layers...
the answer is as simple and easy as it is annoying:
aperture imports photoshop files with layers just fine (check filesize or open the lib to varify. it's all there). however, as aperture treats every import as a new master, it will create a copy of the master before it opens it in photoshop. while doing so, aperture "expects" the master to be "just a photo" and therefore copies only the underlaying (combined) layer of the photoshop file. you end up with a flattened file in ps.
once this is done, you can open the file (your version) in ps and add layers. save it and they will be ok (and remain) in aperture. open the file again from aperture and all layers are ok. why? because aperture doesn't create another copy of it, it treats this (real new) file "only" as a version.
here's the problem:
if you have a gazillions of photos with layers like i do, you can import them into aperture but never access the existing layers anymore. you might ask: why would you want to do that anyway, just flatten them? simple answer: all curves, colour adjustments etc are used as layer settings, keeping the "original" photos untouched. call it "photoshop" versioning if you want. so it makes a lot of sense actually.
meta date
another major problem is that aperture doesn't allow changes to the most basic tags such as date, camera type, iso/asa etc. what about those 300'000+ photos from the archive, shot with "boring old" 35mm and middle format? being able to set some of the most basic data is a essential features i would have expected from a "pro" app!
apple: i'm generally a big fan of your products, but this time you really stress our "love-relationship" a lot! let us ps users treat files like adults (so we decide if we want to edit the master or not). allow to edit meta data. and for all the non-american users (yes, there is some secret land outside of the us, surprise!) change the keyboard shortcuts. and for those users who can only affort one bigger screen, allow them to use it (meaning, use the browser on a second smaller screen) or simply call it "switch monitors" if you like. and of course - dear aperture: if you create a "version" from the master, make it a "true" copy, not a flattened one. that would make all the difference.
(note: if my english *****, that's just fine, i'm just a 1.0 first release! or in non-apple-terms: a swiss guy with limited english)

the lib to varify. it's all there). however, as aperture treats every import
as a new master, it will create a copy of the master before it opens it in
photoshop. while doing so, aperture "expects" the master to be "just a photo"

file. you end up with a flattened file in ps.
OK I think I'm getting it, thanks. I think I'm a pretty bright guy but I'm having issues keeping track of all this Master/Version stuff in Aperture (probably because it's not easy to know which is which).
So if I have this correct, here's the way it works:
1. RAW files (the primary reason I'm playing with Aperture).
You start with a RAW master. It can't be altered anyway (by Aperture or any other RAW converter). However, you need to end up with a rendered color file (the role of a converter). When you do this and ask for the image to end up in Photoshop, you get a version. If you add layers while in Photoshop to this file, saving back in Aperture provides yet another version with layers or it's flattened? I'm assuming you end up with a new version (the 2nd) and this has layers. If you want to access it, you're going to have to do this outside of Aperture otherwise, opening from within Aperture (open with external editor) will produce a flattened new copy (version). Is that correct?
2.Existing PSD files with layers.
You import a file into Aperture with layers because you want to use the DAM features of Aperture. The file has layers and they remain intact but should you wish to edit it FROM Aperture, the file you get will be a copy and it will be flattened (because Aperture doesn't want to mess with the original). Correct?
IF you export the master (PSD with layers) file, you get your original file with layers. But if you alter it in Photoshop to keep layers intact, and you want to bring it back into Aperture, you'll end up with a new Master (again with layers intact). So you have this kind of round-robin where the original master, layered PSD can be accessed but if any alterations take place from Aperture, the original is left alone but the version is flatted.
Seems what we need/want is an option to take the Master out of Aperture, edit it and have it reinserted back into the Aperture library in such a way that it replaces the original (something Aperture tries not to do).
once this is done, you can open the file (your version) in ps and add layers.
save it and they will be ok (and remain) in aperture. open the file again from
aperture and all layers are ok. why? because aperture doesn't create another
copy of it, it treats this (real new) file "only" as a version.
So here I'm not clear. When you say open your version in PS, is this using the Export or Open with command? Export should provide a layered file since you're asking for the Master right? Open With creates a copy yes?

Photoshop CS3 shuts down after opening a PSD file with layers
Hello, I have met a problem with Photoshop CS3 (Windows XP SP2, no network printer) - after opening a PSD file with layers (saved with CS2) Photoshop shuts down. No error message.
Can some of you help me? (The only software that I have installed after Creative Suite CS3 is Corel X4. I have installed no upgrades of CS3.)> I have installed no upgrades of CS3
You should!
Even if it doesn't help here you should. -
JPEG/PSD issue--I open a jpeg and edit it (levels, crop) and then "save as" and the save as option shows there are now levels in the image and it wants to save it as a .psd file or a copy with layers. What am I doing that has these settings appear?
16bit? Pixels extending beyond the canvas? (from a crop with delete unused pixels turn off). Have you previously been saving PSD files?
IME you sometimes have to tell Photoshop that the first save of a session is JPG, and it remembers from there on. The way to 'tell' Photoshop that JPG, or PDF, or PNG etc are now your preferred format is to Ctrl (Cmd) click on that format in the Save As drop down list. So long as the file does not have parameters that your chosen format does not support, then this should work for you.
[EDIT] Just noticed that you did include 'Crop' in the subject line. Do you have 'Delete cropped pixels' checked? -
CS5 Misinterprets Layered PSDs with Spot Channels
I haven't seen this mentioned yet; if you routinely use layered Photoshop files with spot channels, and might be opening older files into CS5 be warned that CS5 appears to misinterpret the tonal values in the spot channels of these documents.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a layered CMYK PSD file with one or more spot channels, and make sure that this file contains halftones on the spot channel(s), not all solid coverage.
Flatten the image and save a copy.
Place both images into Illustrator CS5. Notice that the spot channel(s) in the layered version appears much lighter than the flattened version (which matches the original image), and will output lighter as well.The CMYK channels display and output correctly.
Repeat the test with CS4. Both versions of the image will place and output identically from Illustrator.
Not sure what's going on here, but the only workaround I can find is to flatten the image. This could prove very dangerous when opening CS4 files that were set up this way into CS5, especially if the user is not familiar with how the file is supposed to look (prepress operators, etc.).
[Tested using CS5 and CS4, Mac OS X 10.6.x and Windows Vista.]
Additional info 3:39pm: if you start with a flattened image and add layers, retaining the Background layer, this issue does not occur. It is only if the PSD is "fully layered" with no flattened Background layer.I don't actually see this but you
mention this happens with older files and I do not have any older files
like this so I really can't say.
No, this is with new documents created in CS5 as well. I referred to older files as they are my biggest concern -- if an older file was set up like this, with layered images containing spot channels, they are going to open and output different from CS5. And the likelihood of this going through to production without being caught is not insignificant. (These could be older files we have on backup that we're processing for a reorder, or from a customer who is using an older version of Illustrator...)
But I do like the idea that when you import a
photoshop with spot channels in CS 5 the spot channels are treated as
separate objects in the layers panel, rather than one collective object
like in CS 4. And that the spot color is properly set to multiply.
That is actually pretty neat, I hadn't noticed that (since we always link our images, rarely do we embed them). I'm not sure that Multiply mode shouled change the image data like this, and I'm also not sure how the file is handled by AI when it's linked... so I grabbed our film exposure bar and brought it into CS5 four ways (embedded / layered, embedded / flat, linked / layered and linked / flat) to test all variations.
The results are the same no matter how the file is placed; the spot content in the layered file is lighter across the board than the file, and the flattened version is correct.
(The forum resricts the size of attached images, and the resized image of the full test is a little difficult to see. I posted a second one below that, which is a close-up of a layered and flattened image showing the differences in the spot color data -- the lighter one is from the layered file, and is significantly altered from the original file.) -
How can I open a psd file with layers in touch?
I want to edit a psd file with layers in photoshop touch. Is this possible?
No. (Kind of, sort of.) You can export PS Touch projects for import into desktop Photoshop and have the layers intact for further editing but you cannot do the reverse; any imported PSD will be automatically flattened. (I'm guessing this was done to prevent crashing. PS Touch supports 12 layers max vs. the potential thousands available in desktop Photoshop.)

How to batch convert psd to png with layers
how to batch convert psd to png with layers
i want to convert lots of PSD files into PNGs WHILE RETAINING
LAYERS!
simply batching and choosing custom setting flattens the
thing.
how do i do that!??
and i KNOW it can be done somehow - because i have some old
png's i KNOW come from the same psd source. ironic, isn't it?
besides - feature wish for adobe developers:
A) batch conversion should include 300dpi to 72dpi and vise
versa.
B) batch conversion should include PSD to PNG and vice versa
- including layers and transparency.
C) RGB to CMYK option when converting from 72 dpi to 300dpi.
D) batch exporting should include PNG32 which it doesnt now -
but somehow DOES include the outdated and stupid gif-format.
E) i'd like the Actions feature of photoshop - makes batching
complicated procedures easly.
F) I'd like support for the brushes of photoshop
G) Better selecting tools for details like hair and fine
edges.
Important notes is that i as webdesigner often need to make
certain aspects of my clients graphics into print material. Also
that i use fireworks for picture editing.
Praise for the developers of fireworks
A) the compression facility of JPGs is AWESOME!
B) PNG as fileformat is likewise awesome - i end up using it
for almost all i do these days. Transparency and good file sizes. I
have used fireworks cs3 to convert all psd and tiff and ai files to
PNG.
C) the vectors and styles and method of selecting and editing
things in fireworks is FAR SUPERIOR to flash and photoshop!senocular wrote:

[CS5][Save for Web][Anti-aliasing] Fine lines in exported PSD with adjustment layers
Hello,
You can reproduce the bug this way:
- link a PSD with a adjustment (Levels, Brightness/Contrast) layer in your AI file
- Save for Web, with AA for Art (not text) selected
In the exported image there will be artefacts, white lines usually.
Flattening the PSD or deleting the adjustment layers will solve the problem and anti-aliasing will be applied correctly.
I used CMYK/RGB settings, FOGRA39/Adobe RGB 1998 for all the files involved.Hi,
I am experiencing this same problem of pixelated gifs when I use the "save for web" dialog from Illustrator, but this solution has not worked for me. I have tried the trick of using type-optimized anti-aliasing, but it doesn't change the output at all. I've done this from within the "Image size" tab as well as through Effect>Rasterize>Options)Anti-aliasing: Type Optimized. My image is a logo made entirely from text, although for some of it I used "outline path", so I'm not sure if it still qualifies as text...I'm a newbie at this stuff, so the technical details are still quite opaque to me.
Does anyone know of a solution to this that does not require me to add Photoshop to my workflow?
I'm using Illustrator in CS5, version 15.0.2.
Thanks in advance

Quick question, I have a layout in AI that I need to convert to PSD.
Did the File > Export > Photoshop .psd > Retain layers.
Then AI tells me that "some containers/layers are reduced", and the PSD I get has simply 3 layers out of 12. The rest are rasterized into a graphic.
I've tried fiddling with the export settings but no change.
I've seen a few people asking this question but no replies. I'm hoping maybe someone can help?
Thanks Angus
Win XP, CS3 Design Premium, lotsa memory (RAM and Disk)I was fighting with this same problem, and the case is to remove all dynamic filters like: drop shadow, round corners, inner glow, all of those (effects from apperance panel) must be rasterized or you can use an "expand apperance" option.
For "drop shadow" for example "expand apperance" is no enough, because after this illustrator makes transparency mask, so rasterization is the only way. After removing all this stuff, export to psd is quite clear with editable text and all elements keeps separated layers.
Now with that knowledge if you design web pages in illustrator like I do, is good to design all flat elements with text in illustrator then export to psd (without fighting with apperance filters), and all effects like drop shadows, glows etc. add in photoshop. Easy, but all YOU web guys should use illustrator please, it's easier to design, files are smaller, and export or slicing options are the same as in psd, illustrator has pixel grid and raster preview !!!! ,so why the hell you still work in psd only

Erratic behavior with Photoshop with layers
Hello All
I am writing for a friend of mine (here in Italy) who has not been able to resolve some major problems with his computer. I specified photoshop above as he generally on uses this program (he is a professional photographer), but it does appear to be a software problem. He has already changed his graphic card (Radeon 9600 Pro), so this is not the problem.
I will try to summarize his problems (problems which have happened since he bought his computer two years ago):
1. When he uses layers in photoshop, and only with layers, sometimes a channel is randomly moved and transformed into the complementary color. Although this happens in all three channels it is more prevalent in one of the channels. He is using CS2 (original), but had the same problem with CS1.
2. there are also red pixels randomly on the files (this too, though, is sporadic)
3. when he prints, he can go through the entire day of printing and all of the sudden one of the pictures will have a problem (and that problem will continue until he restarts the printer). His printer is an Epson 4000. The motherboard in this printer has also been changed.... two times!
Do you think that this is a problem with reading and writing?
He has reinstalled the system more than once, and now the problem is worse than it has ever been. While at the beginning it happened once in a great while, now these problems are getting worse and he is seriously worried about ruining his files (that he needs, obviously, for his work). Here in Italy he hasn't been able to find anyone who can fix these problems. As a photographer you can imagine how important it is for him to not have a reliable means to work on his photos.
If any of you have advice we would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

If I go to PS and add layers can I bring the photo with layers back to Lightroom?
If I go to PS and add layers can I bring the photo with layers back to Lightroom?
JoeKostoss wrote:
This is more complicated than I expected: I had to go back to LR to check what I did previously. Here is what I found. I hope this helps to explain what can be done. You can have both layers and LR adjustments; you just cannot see the layers in LR nor can you see the LR adjustments in PS. The good news is that they are both there and can be changed as needed.
I have a photo (Raw) of a blue jay sitting on a branch with the background out of focus.
I made many of the usual LR edits such as exposure, contrast, whites, blacks, sharpening, etc.
I wanted to print it as a Birthday Card so I sent it to PSCC 2014 as a smart object.
In PS, I added a type layer "Happy Birthday"
Back in LR, I now have a psd Happy Birthday file stacked with the original raw file.
Fine and as yet, no ADDITIONAL LR edits AFTER rendering right?
I made some LR adjustments to the psd file such as crop to a different aspect ratio and add a vignette.
I printed the psd file on a folded card.
So far so good, you're still in LR. LR can take the new edits made there AND the layers and spit out a print. Nothing new or special here.
Later I wanted to use that same image as a anniversary card.
I told LR to edit that same psd file in PSCC 2014, this time not a smart object, but selecting "Edit Original".
You got your original layered file. Nothing new or special here.
PS opened with the "Happy Birthday" type layer intact and with the smart object background layer. Of course, the LR edits, crop and vignette on the psd file were not visible in PS.
Because they don't exist there! They will when you render them.
I clicked the eye of the Happy Birthday to render it invisible.
I added a new "Happy Anniversary" type layer.
Saved the new revised psd file and returned to LR.
In LR, I still have only 1 psd file stacked with the original raw file, but now it says Happy Anniversary. Note: sometimes it may take a few moments for the new PS edits to appear. By selecting another image and then reselect this psd file tends to speed this rendering of the new image.
So where in all this is the LR edits you produce AFTER up created the layers after opening the layered doc in PS?
I now have a new card ready to print just as before with all the LR edits originally made on the birthday card including the LR edits, crop and vignette made on the original psd file.
And as far as I can tell, all those edits were applied in PS AFTER rendering.
If I send that psd file a third time to PS, I still have the smart object layer, and both type layers. I can add a 3rd type layer "Happy Easter" if I so desire and return to LR.
Again, the crop and vignette are seen in the one psd file in LR.
So...yes, I can have both layers AND LR adjustments including the original raw adjustments through the smart object background.
No, you have a layered file and you have instructions but the layered file isn't rendered with those instructions and doing so would flatten the results. -
i have photoshop toch, but i can't open a psd with it (my psd is in creative cloud) So how can i open a psd with my tablet? Thanks
Please choose New from > Creative Cloud.
Be aware that the layers will be flattened.
Thanks! -
Using CC2014, I have a psd with smart objects. I would like to place it into indesign along with type & logos. I would like to then export a pdf from indesign hoping that the smart objects stay as vector. Exported a pdf 1.7, but everything rasters. Writing a postscript gives the same results. Any help?
