Let me get the technal stuff out of the way first:
I’m running Photoshop 7 on a PC with Win2kPro, AMD Athlon processor, 512mb RAM.
Just had a sort of wierd problem for the second time in a couple of weeks: I’m designing some web page layouts in Photoshop, doing almost all the graphic work in PS, but I jump over to Image Ready from time to time for things like drawing lines, etc. Just now I did exactly that–had a document going with only a handful of layers, jumped to ImageReady and drew some lines with the line tool, then went to jump back to PS (using the toggle button at the bottom of the toolbar). Instead of the document refreshing as usual, I got a message to the effect that the file was incompatible and Photoshop must be closed. PS closed on its own when I clicked OK; Image Ready stayed open so I saved the file from there–as a Photoshop PSD—and closed it down too. Restarted both and now I can’t open the file in either. If I try to open it in PS I get:
"Could not open … because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
If I try to open it in ImageReady, I get:
"Could not complete this operation because this file is in an unknown format."
I can see the file on the system, even the thumbnail shows up and looks about right (in Windows), and the Properties show it as being a Photoshop (psd) file, version 7. But it simply won’t open with either program. Naturally, I hadn’t saved the file at all before this happened. So what I guess I’m asking is, does anyone know if this is a Windows problem or a problem with one or both of the Adobe applications, or what? I know there are some glitches in my system and I need to reformat, so it might be that. Maybe some of you PC/Windows experts might be able to confirm or deny that…?
More importantly, is there any way I can retrieve the damn file?! I wasn’t very far along in it, but had enough tweaked layer styles, etc., that I don’t want to go back and do them over if I don’t have to.
Anyway, sorry this was so long, I just wanted to make sure I got any pertinent information across. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
