backwards incompatible

In article ,
says…

I’m sitting here with 1 gig of ram. I’ve been using ps8. Needed to test a function from ps6 the other day. Tried to load up the offending psd 23 megs into ps6 and couldn’t do it, not enough memory..
Tried several others, the error is misworded. It wouldn’t load any of the new
[500k] psd’s.

Is there a way to save the psd in ps8 so ps6 can load it ?

In Edit>Preferences, you can check backward compatibility for Save/Save_As. This will call up a dialog box upon Save/Save_As, asking if you really want to do this, as the resultant file will be larger, but it is easy to click YES and continue with the Save. Provided that your Scratch Disk situation is not a limiting factor, you should be able to open even larger PSD’s (provided that they are compatible) with 1GB RAM. I used to open PSDs much larger on my workstation, back when 1GB was the most I could fit onto the MB, though I did have tons of Scratch Disk space.

Good luck,
Hunt

What platform? Are you using 6.0.1? I have no problem doing this on Win XP. Are the files saved from CS with Maximize Compatibility? Of course features that appear in CS that 6 doesn’t have won’t come through (text on a path, some Blending Modes)

None of those written with ps8 would load up into 6. And it’s only purpose even being on the drive is so ps7 will install.

But I wanted to test a function from it that I suspect is either clone or patch now. Just figured if it does exist, it’ll be in 6.

The actual wording of the tutorial is to use the retouch tool ‘lightness to target’ for removing matte outlines.

I’m not even sure I’ve ever seen a tool with ‘lightness to target’. It’s a tutorial on removing white fringe halo’s around copy to new layer cutouts.

Hm-m-m, "Retouch Tool?" Could this mean the Clone Stamp? "Lightness to target?" Only guess here would be to set the Blending Mode to Lighten. Same would apply to whatever they mean by "retouch tool."

Probably not even a PS tool.

You didn’t answer my question about which platform. If Mac I believe there is a a bug that prevents PS CS files form being opened in 6. In that case I’d open them in 7, resave and open in 6.

As far as I know there are no tools in 6 that don’t appear in CS. Never heard of a "Retouch Tool".

Which is why I think the tutorial was written some other program. Which means my OS has no relevance. it’s the program. If it doesn’t exist in a Mac PS or a PC PS, then it’s fairly obvious the tutorial was written for another program.
I’m using a PC PS6,7,8

you will get that "memory" error when back-compat issues arise, actually has nothing to do with memory.

I have had success opening CS files in PS6 by first opening in the version of Image Ready that installs with 6, saving in photoshop format, then opening in PS6.
