– Features or bugs?

I save a PSD as several layers in CS2 with "maximum compatibility" checked, but 7.1 opens it as a single layer.

I can re-open it in CS2 with the layers intact, but 7.1 only sees 1 layer (flat image).

Also, I don’t have JPG listed in the "Save As…" options anymore… even after flattening the image.

Are these "features" of CS2 or bugs? I just upgraded from 7.1 (skipped CS)

Did you try trashing preferences?

What OS?

WinXP SP2

What does "trashing preferences" mean? I did pay close attention to the dialog boxes every step of the save process, and this is right after a fresh install. Didn’t have time modify *anything* yet. It’s all default settings. No JPG option in "Save As" and saving multi-layer PSDs with CS2 can only open as multi-layers with CS2. Opens flat with 7.1.

Note that the only thing I specified from the default settings was 16 bits/channel. Could this be causing the probs?

Ah! Photoshop 7 does not support layers in 16 bit, though CS and above does. Sorry I missed that.

Trashing Preferences (or resetting preferences) is a fix for many problems that can occur. Look in Help under Preferences for the procedure.

Yes. Photoshop 7 can’t open a layered 16-bit file.

Is there a specific reason that your image must be 16 bits per channel?

Not really, just throught "more is better".

Will stick to 8-bit. Thanks.
