Photoshop Elements 8 won't open my jpg files

I'm sure this problem has something to do with my cat who loves to sit on my keyboard and make havoc, but since yesterday, when I try to open a jpg file, nothing happens.  I just do what I normally do, file > open, and then navigate to the jpg format, but given that this latest incident of cat-sitting, when I do that the jpg does not open.  I have nothing but the big gray Photoshop home page.  I hope that someone has seen this before and can tell me how to solve this problem.  Thank you!

Hi Jen,

I'm sorry but I LOL'd seen your post - the cat sitting-on-your-keyboard contraption!

I do not think that your cat might have messed up your keyboard - because if this is the case your file > Open (with mouse) should work!

Moreover, since your Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows), you can right-click an image file / PSD files and open with > Photoshop Elements to see if it opens?

BTW, you mentioned you see "Screen in Photoshop" - are you on Photoshop or Photoshop Elements? They are 2 different softwares.

Please, post a screenshot if possible to help us help you.

  • Why the Adobe reader won't open my jpeg files?

    Why the 11 adobe reader won't open my jpeg files?

    Hi Nassman,

    Adobe Reader is a single reading software for PDF files. JPEG is not a supported format that would open in Adobe Reader. You must open the Jpeg in application that supports this file format. (for example, Photoshop, Picture Viewer, MS Paint)

    I hope this helps. I would like to know if you have any further questions.

    Kind regards

  • Are there benefits to open a jpg file in RAW in PE7 format

    I have just fallen on the command "open as" and found it opens my jpg files and I was wondering if all work in this area was worth experimenting. My camera won't take RAW so this isn't an option. Or am I better not waste time to experiment and change in the normal PE options?

    There are advantages to opening RAW files not in the window of the cab.  Of course whether they are valuable to you, or not only you will know.

    First of all, these adjustments are related to the treatment of the image and no image editing - there are subtle differences.

    Second, any treatment you are doing here is not destructive that changes are not "done" in the data of the final image, but occur as a set of instructions in the image file who have replayed when you view it.  A slightly less obvious advantage is that the order in which you perform the adjustments is not important, but as a rule of thumb that you work the high control down.

    Third, the control names are a little more intuitive, in my opinion.

    So the most notable advantage is that treatment changes you made can be cancelled at any time in the future.  Unlike a normal JPEG edit that changes the data of the actual image and can be difficult to undo.

  • Photoshop elements 13 will not open in Mac

    I downloaded Photoshop elements since the Mac App store 13. It worked fine for two weeks, but now I can't open, even if I re-uploaded. When I click on the Photo or Video Editor editing in the PE13 homescreen, I get this message box: "Please do not run this application from this application package. On the other hand, it please run Adobe Photoshop elements 13... from your Applications folder. "But when I launch it from the applications folder I get the same message, and I can not open editing Photo or Video Editor. (Organizer opens, however.) Any ideas?

  • Photoshop Elements 10 does not open on my Mac

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 10 on my iMac for 2011 with no problems.  Today, I'm going to open and it does not open.  The only thing that appears is the title of the application in the upper left corner of the screen (see below).

    Screen Shot 2015-06-06 at 10.35.59 AM.png

    Here's what I've tried so far:

    1. stop and restart the computer

    2 put the Mac OS software in the last update

    3. update of Adobe Flash

    4 closed and restarted the Application

    5. search for Photoshop Elements upgrades 10 (none)

    6 went to the Applications folder and created another shortcut on the desktop

    I thought to re - install the software, so I downloaded the installer from the Adobe website.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 can't open:((HELP!) .cr2 files

    Hello

    Problem: I need to open the files Canon EOS 6 d on Photoshop elements 10 with Mac OS 10.6.8 .cr2


    What I tried:

    I have Photoshop elements 10 and can't open files .cr2 (RAW) of my Canon EOS 6 d. Error "could not complete your request because Photoshop Elements does not recognize this file type)

    I updated Adobe plug-ins

    My problem remained, and I read that I could use a file Adobe's DNG Converter to convert my photos so that I can open it using 10 P.E.

    I downloaded and installed different versions of the DNG Converter, the latest versions as 9.0 I couldn't install from my Mac OS is old. (10.6.8)

    Older versions of the converter (6.1, 6.6), I was able to install correctly, but when you try to convert the files I get an error saying "the source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files. I tried changing the settings to include as many versions and types of files as possible, but still got the same error.

    I don't know where to go from here. I need to open the files .cr2 Canon EOS 6 d on Photoshop elements 10 with Mac OS 10.6.8

    Any suggestion or help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Unfortunately, mac os x 10.6.8 cannot use the (9.0) DNG Converter, so you can download and install the 8.3 dng converter, which is the latest version that works on mac 10.6.8 and it should be able to convert your Canon 6 d files.
