I am trying to do a collaboration with someone. My partner was the one that started the collab first, then uploaded the .PSD somewhere and I downloaded it, but when I tried to open it in Photoshop it gave me this message: <http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/1646/errpt3.jpg>

What does it mean and how can I fix it?

Appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.

You didn’t get the entire file. You can’t fix it.
Perhaps you might get the entire file if you try to download again. Jim

Maybe your partner is using a newer version than you and has turned off the Maximize Compatibility option?

Or maybe your PS is not patched up to 9.0.2?

Or maybe he didn’t ZIP the file and it got broken in the upload?

Or the file was not fuly up/down loaded

I’d ask my partner to try and resend the file, Zipping it first.

My partner said he uses CS3 beta and I use CS2(9.0.2 version). Is that a problem?

Never mind. It got fixed once he zipped it and uploaded the file. Thanks for the help guys.

I’m happy to hear that our suggestions got it fixed for you. ZIP-ing a file not only makes it somewhat smaller, but provides an automatic integrity check when you UN-ZIP it. I tend to ZIP everything I send as e-mail attachments to avoid problems such as you have experienced. Also, most ISPs block .EXE files, and one that I know of even blocks .TXT files! Wrapping them in a .ZIP structure hides those gory details from the e-mail program and from the ISP, thus all files transmit smoothly.

"…he uses CS3 beta and I use CS2(9.0.2 version). Is that a problem?"

Not at all, assuming he has not disabled the Max Compatibility option. (I’m not sure exactly what that does, but the implication is that the default file format has changed between CS2 and CS3.) Since it seems you can now open the file, he must be doing it right.
