henry_ting2 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Some folks send me a few pictures with extension of *.psd (photoshop ?) and yet after I opened it in Photoshop Elements, I only get a blank page. Can some photoshop expert help ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy. Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Henry, I am not familiar with PS Element, but psd is a PS format file. Try to open it with file selection (Open as...) as psd., you may get lucky. Otherwise, you can choose to send them to me, and I will see if I can convert them to jpeg file for you. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detox_q Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Why not try to open the file with another application? on my mac I can open psd files with PREVIEW, (windows will probably have something similar). If the file opens then you know the problem lies with Photoshop, which I suggest you reintall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry_ting2 Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Never mind, I figured it out.Photoshop Elements does not support PSD format. Surprising huh ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_barnett2 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Henry, the .psd formats advantage is that you can save all your work History, along with the image, so at a later date you can go back and alter any of the parameters. Normally your History for each image saved as say a TIFF is deleted when you close the Photoshop application. This is a useful tool, so naturally it doesn't get put into the slimmed down and cheaper Elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detox_q Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I use Elements as my only image editing program and it DOES create and opens PSDs. I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry_ting2 Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Thanks Mecagoentó. I was fighting with the psd file and just cannot open it. It gave me a blank page instead and yet when I exit, it asked me whether I want to save it. Did you just open it in the "file" menu ? I use PS EL2 running under Window 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detox_q Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 When I try to open the file PSE tells me it has a color mode not admited and asks if want to convert to RGB, I chose yes and voilà. I use Elements 1.0.1 on a Mac with OSX in classic enviroment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry_ting2 Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 MAC OSX in classic ?, not in native OSX.....hmmmm, perhaps I should dig out my old Powerbook in the closet somewhere and give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
