Andrea,
What kind of file are you trying to save as BMP? What about layers, Colour Mode, bit depth (8 or 16 bit per channel)
Where do the files come from that you can’t open?
What version of PS? Operating system?
Rob
Ciao Rob
Any type of file even a blank one (bitmap,rgb,cmyk). i’m talking about functionality that were present in all the previous photoshop version. Is not a matter of which type of file, it’s also impossibile open any bmp file i have made before with CS2. ( while in other programs work perfectly )
I’m on windows vista and it look like as .bmp compatibility has been disabled by CS3
PS what do you mean by PS ?
Andrea
what do you mean by PS ?
Photoshop. .bmp hasn’t been disabled by PS CS3. It must be something on your system.
I use CS3 on XP SP3 (Windows eXPerience Service Pack 3), can you email a bmp that won’t open to me? I can check it. Click on my name.

Do a Google and find Irfanview
Freeware picture viewer… if it can’t open your bmp, there is something wrong with the file
In older versions of Photoshop the installation
of BMP import & export filters had been an option
(custom installation). The choice of this option
was often misleading.
Since PhS 7 all somewhat reasonable versions can
be handled: 1/4/8/16/24/32 bits per pixel (bpp).
Runlength encoding for 8 bpp. Alpha channel,
the fourth byte without any predefined meaning,
for 32 bpp.
I’m not familiar with PhS CS3. Alternatively one can
try InDesign.

I found the Solution. Please read the entire post.
Same Problem, I can’t save the image. I just made a new desktop wallpaper, and I go to Save As.. and it does not show ANY image formats.
-I can choose to save as..
–Photoshop
–Cineon
–D3D/DDS
–Dicom
–Large Document Format
–Photoshop PDF
–Photoshop Raw
–PNG
–TIFF
That is all there is in the format drop down menu.
Image is 1024×768, Locked background layer, 16 bit colour. I recently installed Xp Service pack 3, and as far as I know, I could save them before that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, so please reply to this or send me an email at —(Email Addres Deleted)—
* EDIT* Turns out that the image needs to be 8 Bits/Channel. To do this, select the image and follow these menu instructions..
-Image
–Mode
—Select 8 Bits/Channel

do i have to?!! 😉
I was going to point out that .bmp has to be in 8bit.
You can do it, dave. One line at a time…and…swallow… 8-o
Don’t swallow Dave, spit it out.
