I run Photoshop CS at the office and Photoshop 6 at home.

It has come to my attention that selecting "make this file compatible" does not work!

A number of images I worked on in CS will not open in 6. I keep receiving "out of RAM" messages. This is not the case however as 6 manages to open bigger more complex files that have not been touched by CS.

Is there anyway I can retrieve the original format of my files or make it backward comptaible? The files in question are vital for the future of my web!

Be sure you are not using the new CS extension for large Photoshop files.

?? Didn’t know there was one – I am pretty sure the files are all standard *.psd.

Check the File Handling in "Preferences".

What should I be looking for? (And in which program – 6 or CS?)

I’m having the same issue. It’s a big problem. My home studio uses up to date software, but the place I’m freelancing at uses PhotoShop 6. Every PSD file I bring from my home studio to the work studio can’t be read because of this RAM error. I’ve got my setting to Maximize File Compatibility and don’t have the Enable Large Document Format (.psd) selected.

Any thoughts?

Well I haven’t got an answer but here are a few observations. I’m having no trouble opening CS files in PS6 so it’s not a simple incompatibility problem. I’m not using any of the CS-specific features and I have Maximize File Compatibility permanently off. If I do use something like Photo Filter adjustment layer, PS6 discards it on opening.
