GIMP :: Can't Open Some PSDs
Apr 14, 2011
I have a few older PSDs that were saved with Photoshop CS that will not open in GIMP or in IrfanView... instead of the PSD layers, I get a white image that has a message in four languages that says, "This layered Photoshop file was not saved with a composite image".
Yet I have other layered PSDs that were saved of similar images at the same time that do open in GIMP just fine.
Also what is very strange here in these files that won't show their image is that the paths in these original PSDs do show up in GIMP, but normally GIMP cannot read path information from PSD files... or from PSDs saved in GIMP anyway.
how to get these images to open with their original content, or show their images at all?

I just bought a website template and there are certain files that won't open in gimp like psd's and even some png's and jpg's (though the ones I need most do). My girlfriend was able to open the psd's in photoshop. Anyway to get all these files to open in gimp?
I've attached the psd, the png and jpgs wont attach (maybe because they are tiny 70 byte files that dont matter). (Im using Windows 7 64 bit)

I'm receiving the error 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' when I try to open some psd's.

The last few entries in the error log are ...

I have about 40GB of .jpegs and some Photoshop files that I can no longer open. When I try to open the .jpegs, Photoshop says Invalid JPEG marker. Windows Picture Viewer says no preview available. Internet Explorer just shows a small x in the corner. Others like IrfanView or Paint and say things like Image Header Corrupted or Invalid File Type. I have tried a dozen applications with no luck. I have tried several recovery tools with no luck. The files themselves are still there. The dates are correct and the file sizes are correct. They just can’t be previewed or opened. When I open them in wordpad, the screen is empty. When I open them with a Hex editor, I get all 0’s in the middle section and dots in the right section. When I zip them, the compressed file is still relatively large so there must be some data there.
I had the files on a hard drive (D) that I use for storage. My computer got zapped with a virus or spyware that I was unable to remove so I reformatted my system drive (C) and reinstalled a fresh version of Windows XP. I have done this a half dozen times over the years on several different computers with no problems. This time was different. After Windows installed, I got a screen that said something about orphaned files and that Windows was updating them or renaming them. It scrolled for about an hour through all of my .jpegs.
After this was finished I could not open about half of my .jpegs on the D drive. (I have a backup off most of my files but there about 1,000 shots that I hadn’t back up yet.)
Does anyone have any clues as to what happened or how I can open these files?

I can get Photoshop CS2 to open up and work fine. Only, I cannot get it to open any files up. .jpgs, .pngs, and even .psds don't open. It says that there is a program error, and it doesn't say what that error is exactly.
I've tried "Open As" and tried to open the files as something different but that didn't work at all. I can open up images in ImageReady, yet I can't transfer them back to Photoshop to work on them. It also won't allow me to create a new canvas, (the same message pops up).
I recently moved, but I'm not sure if that would have caused any issue for Photoshop to act up like this. Everything else on the computer works fine and dandy. And it hasn't ever done anything like this before.
I'd rather not have to uninstall and then reinstall it,

I have tried and tried again but there is something preventing me from opening PSDs and JPGs. Along with that, when I first start up the program, I have about a thousand errors all having something to do with Plugin.dll.

Since I updated CS6 recently (I use the creative cloud) I have had problems with saving some PSDs in photoshop. My workflow is as follows: I import from lightroom 4 as 8bit psds into Photoshop, do my editing and then click to close the file. Then usually the save box would pop up and I would click "save", sending the psd back to Lightroom. This still works on some files, but others just close (even though I have done substantial editing on them) and I have lost a lot of time, having to redo the editing. I tried to use the "save as" command and the file is saved correctly and is also sent back to lightroom, but it takes so much longer and is annoying to do... I have tried to close and reopen the applications, but it still happens...

I have been contracted by a customer to remake a logo of theirs. Like always it should be a vector file so they can scale it and print it resolution independent. The problem is their logo includes some effects (pillow embossed text and graphics) that are much easier done in Photoshop. So I'm left with the option of manually creating highlights and shadows (drawing a line then using gaussien blur)in illustrator to imitate the photoshop pillow emboss.Â
I was wondering if I placed a photoshop image in illustrator and saved it as an eps or ai if screen printers and other printers that require a vector file be able to use it or if that wouldn't work at all. I also know that there is a way to save photoshop eps. However when I try to do that with this logo that option is not available. I am using Photoshop and Illustrator cs5 on mac OS 10.6.8

I'm using Gimp 2.8.4 on a MacBook Pro.
I have been working on an image file for several hours now, and as a result, there were MANY files open (probably over 30).
I attempted to save the file, and recieved the following error message:
"Could not read the contents of [folder name] Too many open files"
I then closed each of the open files except the file I was trying to save, but got the same results.
The same error message pops up when I try to open a file as well.

I have several .psd images that I need to turn into .swf's. The only solution I can figure is to place the psd into illustrator and save. Is there a faster/easier option as I have hundreds of files that I need to do this to! I also need them to be .pngs.

I'm making large prints (40x60) from Illustrator files, and the print plugin requires Photoshop. I am converting the AI file's Document Color Mode to RGB, then exporting to PSD as high-resolution 300ppi, using artboards.
Â
When I export the AI files to PSD and view them in PS, the photographic elements appear pixelated at 100% whereas the text & graphics are smooth and high-res. I've checked the linked photographic files, and they are not pixelated. So what I've had to do is export editable PSDs from AI using the "Write Layers" option, open the files in PS, and then re-place the photographic elements so that they are no longer pixelated.
Â
FYI, Anti-Aliasing is set to Art Optimized (Supersampling). The AI and PS files are both sized to 40x60, and the PSD is opening as 300ppi.

Is there a way to delete the LR metadata from files? I can delete the xmp sidecars using the OS, but I also want to delete all the LR metadata from jpgs, etc . Is there a plugin that will do this, or do I have to use exiftool?

I have just upgraded this evening to PS CC after I upgraded I cannot now move any type without it leaving marks over any images in the PSD file when I save the file as a jpeg etc the marks are still there. They appear even if the image layer is turned off or I delete the image layer...move the edit then paste the image back into the PSD...the marks still appear.

I'm using Gimp 2.8.6.Try as I might, I'm still trying to figure out how to effectively 'merge' 3 shots of the same scene taken at 3 different exposures (using the exposure bracketing feature on my camera).The idea is to end up with the equivalent of an HDR image.
I assume that I open the first image and then open the other two as layers . .

I have five PSDs I want to make into one 5-page PDF.

I want the text to stay vector/selectable in the PDF (and not rasterized during the conversion process). Is there any way to do this?

I export high res TIFFs and PSDs a lot from Illustrator. One option is EMBED ICC PROFILE. I'm going to PS to build my composite. When should I embed the profile, and when shouldn't I?
Â
When I open in PS, even if I don't Embed, doesn't PS know what colorspace the doc was created?

Before I got LR4 I developed a series of images (thousands) with Bridge and Photoshop. I've now decided to build a LR catalog of the series.
Â
As I import I want to use the Image # option to rename files, making the whole mess of photos "cleaner" with unique names, etc. Of course I want ot import Raw's and the Tif/Psd images I made along the way. I notice the Image numbering process does NOT recognize the relationship between the raw and edited files. So files (img_123.nef and img_123.tif) become (img-01.nef and img-02.tif). I would prefer the tif file be named img-01.tif so the link between the two remains obvious.
Â
Key to creation date & time? I realize this is a really specific issue, but if the point is to make the series tidier and more coherent it would be a useful feature.

I will do absolutely ANYTHING to restore this picture. I've been working on it for hours. I thought I learned my lesson from working for hours and not saving, but apparently my lesson might now be to save in 8 places while working.
I was working on a drawing, saving as I went, and my laptop shut off unexpected as I was saving. I thought it saved before it shut off, but when I came back on, it wouldn't open the xcf file. The preview still shows up, and the file is still 1.37MB. Is there ANY way of redeeming my drawing? Any other programs I could open it in or way to fix it?

I just installed GIMP 2.6.11 on Windows 7 64-bit, then tried to open a .png file.
Alas, instead of the image, I was surprised to see an error message box stating:
"Opening C:UsersmePicturessnapshot.png failed: Unknown file type"
I have GIMP 2.6 running perfectly on Windows XP (32-bit) and never had any such problem.

I recently scanned in an old photo and thinking I was being clever and losing zero quality, I saved it as a "Raw Data Image" using GIMP.
However, I cannot open it now, GIMP doesn't recognise it, and when I select Raw Data Image in the File > Open dialog, it just shows a garbled image and some sliders/numbers for me to play with.
Can I save my image, or will I have to scan the photo again (after spending months talking the owner into letting me borrow it and scan it in the first place!)

OK, first let me say that I use Gimp all the time.......... IN LINUX. I'm trying to install Gimp 2.6.12 on a Win 7 machine for a friend. The installation went fine, but for some odd reason there is only the default dialogs panel on the left, but none on the right. When I try to open the layers dialog or any other dialog, absolutely nothing happens. Was there something else that needed to be installed prior to installing Gimp? I'm going to assume no since one dialog is already open.

How do I open a new image in Gimp?
I open Gimp
I drag an image file into Gimp
That's OK. Image is opened
Now, I want to open another image Dragging into Gimp doesn't work - wherever you drag it?Why is this?
Another way I like to open is to press 'Ctrl O' and then paste the path of a folder and press return This then takes me to that folder and shows me all images inside(The same behaviour will work with any other program on WIndows) With Gimp, this is not possible .There is no path displayed when you first click Ctrl O.I've found how to get the path: click on one of the locations on the left pane and then click on the 'Type Name Field' icon - this then gives you a location in which you can type the path
it only takes a second or two to do, but it would be nice if we just could past the path name or start typing the path name after pressing 'Ctrl O' - like ALL other Windows programs!

I only just found out about them when I was looking for some textures on Tumblr and I believe they basically change the color of an image, if I'm right?
How can I use them?
