«.. . not a Photoshop document valid"error opening file cc Mac on PC

I get an error "Could not complete your request because it is not a Photoshop document valid." message every time I try to open a PSD file created on a Mac using Photoshop on my PC using CC CC. Other people have been able to open the file in the same place, so that the files are not corrupt. Someone knows how to fix this?

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.

The other day, I spent many hours editing the photos for a client. I saved all and closed from Photoshop. When I tried to open the. PSD, they came all this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I capotais. I saw the thunmbnails and previews with the Mac OS Finder and could see the images in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.

Finally, I remembered that they were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be the TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited coming in Lightroom in Photoshop, they opened as TIFF. However, when I did ' save under ', I wanted to name them in the same way to other files that I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the name of the file in the Save dialog box as to make it easier to name the new file that I kept, but I didn't know it was change the name extension ".tif" to ".psd" file as well. The older MacOS (version 9 or earlier) do not rely on file extensions fo identification file types, so it didn't hit me right away this would be the problem. When I changed the extension of bad .psd file in .tiff, open files in Photoshop very well.

Then... If you encounter this not "a valid Photoshop document" error, try to find out if it is actually another type of file (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc.) by getting the information from another file program or just experiment with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file is not actually corrupt, but just named incorrectly!

    my media browser has been set to "sequences in the selected folder" and even if everything was showing according to the normal and me thinking as "sequences in the selected folder" was not what I had and going through the set up/view/format by default/coils/color space default - my media browser deleted

    I am tempted to use the file in directory Oracle sitting on a Windows Server.

    Windows is interoperable with Linux? Linux includes UNC?
    Do not think and do not believe.
    Using Samba on Windows Server and NFS did you mount this directory on the Linux server.
    If you have not it isn't going to work. Apart from that: Windows can deal with forward slashes, so this isn't the problem.

    Hi and thanks for your time.

    The program was an application to create your own music

    I don't have any problem installing other applications programs...

    The solution was a scan with malware bytes who discovered infected with the registry data.

    So I deleted it and after running a lot on the line scans, I deleted the program, I wanted to install.

  • Photoshop displays do not like the default program to open files in Windows 7

    I can't get Windows 7 to recognize Photoshop CS6 (with all updates from Adobe) to recognize the Photoshop as a valid tool to open files.  It ignores the PS in the process of selection of applications to open - even when I drill until the appropriate folder and select PhotoShop.exe.

    Fixed using regedit. Change HKEY root/applications/Photoshop default of 5.1 to 6.

    So I asked to switch me to CC.

    Guess what? Always get the error message. I just changed this file yesterday without problem.

  • How always have "enable all documents" selected when opening files in Indesign CS6?

    Whenever I open a file in CS6, I must still select 'Open documents' to see my files that have already been converted to CS6. Front, once a file has been converted to the new version of indesign, you would see in the menu open automatically when 'readable documents' has been selected. Now when I go to find a file that I've already converted to the CS6, it makes me still select 'Open documents' because it does not appear as a "readable document.

    hope it makes sense.

  • Photoshop CS5 crashes when opening files. Help?

    I read previous discussions, but have not been able to deduce what I have to do. Help, please!

    Here's where I am.

    I downloaded the demo of photoshop CS5 2 weeks 30. for the first week, I worked in photohop every day and had no problem open and edit psd files.

    I have not used photoshop for next week.

    I went back to Photoshop (nothing has changed on the config of my h/w or s/w in the meantime), and it repeatedly crashes whenever I try to open a psd file.

    Ive been deleted and the file preferences - no effect.

    I am running CS5 on a dell optiplex PC with windows XP

    Why this is happening, and what should I do then?

    I noticed that they have not done a new version of the trial version as well.  No explanation was offered for this.

  • Application process, do not run after the validation error

    Hi all.

    APEX 4.1
    XE 11 GR 2
    WIN7
    Firexfox

    I have a page where I add additional javascript code to a page by using htp.p in a process of application "before the footer. It works fine as long as there is no validation error. When the validation fails (for example a UK-check with the location of the error value "Inline notification"), the page is re-fondue, but the application process is not running and so my extra code is missing from the page.

    Is this intended behavior or am I doing something wrond?

    Andreas

    Addition:

    I tried the sam using a 'local' page process, but these do not seem to fire.

    This is the expected behavior. Generally, the process and calculations source item, the actions are not executed when the page is re-made after validation errors. They also provide great potential for confusion of side effects (for example reset to a default value for an item that had an invalid value sent).

    However, the engine provides a special treatment for the process with the built-in Inline Validation errors displayed condition so that they will be run when a page is rendered with validation errors. See + {: identifier of the thread = 493070} + for an interesting discussion on this topic.

    An alternative (and in my opinion a more classic and rather more clear) would be to generate the JS in a dynamic region of PL/SQL code on the Page zero. Always reuse the code on all or several pages, but is more clearly part of the rendering of the page as an application process and does not rely on a very obscure condition, being the only way you can make it work.

  • Problem opening files with Mac OS Mavericks and elements

    I recently installed Mac OS 10.9.x Mavericks.  Since then, I've had problems opening files in 11 elements.  I upgraded to 12 items, blindly hoping the problem fixed itself, however it does not.   When I try to open a file from the Finder window appears then disappears immediately.  Occasionally, it will remain open until I scroll down to the bottom, but then closes.   I keep files on an external drive, but the drive work with other applications, so I don't think it's that.  If anyone has had a similar problem and has ideas, I would be grateful that the program is unusable at the moment.  Thank you very much anticipation in

    It is extremely important to remove update preferences to the Mavericks:

  • App does not start on the Simulator, error: (this file could not be opened. Make sure you have the proper permissions and try again).

    I get an error when I try to run my application after packaging and loading on the Playbook Simulator.

    When I try to start my application, I get a white screen for 1 second, it flashes black for a second before leaving white and then I get this error message: "this file could not be opened. Make sure you have the proper permissions and try again. »

    I have in my source folder:

    config. XML

    Icon.PNG

    Index.html

    Load.js

    Progress.CSS

    I don't think that my code using anything that requires permissions. (that is to say, does not use the shared files, or camera, etc.)  At the moment it is simply a text box and a button that calls code that retrieves data from the database I have. API reference, he said that I don't need permission for the use of the HTML5 and sql database.

    This is my config file:

    
    http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"

    I don't have any uses which I put in the "access_shared" to test, but it did not help.

    My app works very well in the Opera browser, and also in the training Simulator, I don't understand why it does not work on the playbook Simulator.

    I read something on the extension of the Javascript and exporting to a JAR file. Do I need to do? I have only a single .js file with a few defined variables and functions that implement the functionality of database/sql.

    I can't think of anything...

    Make sure that the index.html file referenced in your config.xml file has exactly the same name as the index.html file in your application.  You list all of your files with the 'I' for 'Index.xml' in capital letters.  The Tablet OS applies a case-sensitive file system.

    If this is the case, I suggest rename Index.html index.html, reconditioning and try again.
