Hi guys.
I'm using Photoshop CS.
Over the past month I've saved some images with a full stop in the title like 10.5, 15.5 etc.
Nothing came up to tell me that this wasn't a title I could use, so I've kept using it. Today I went into my saved images file and all of the images that I've saved over this month with a full stop in the title will open.
Photoshop says 'Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document'.
Has this happened to anyone else - and/or can anyone help me out here?
I've tried renaming them, but it won't work either.
I've saved them as either JPG's or PSD files, but neither will now open and I can't tell from the thumbs which way they were originally saved. I've also tried opening them with Imageready - but no joy!
If nothing else, please note NOT to use a full stop in your title - Grrrrrrr!
Looking forward to some Guru's helping - SMILE! |

Hi Lisa,
Not sure if this will help but this is probably what I would try if in your shoes.
You said you renamed the files but did you add the type of file when doing so.
eg. filename.jpg or filename.psd
Seeing you don't know which files are jpg or psd, try going with the one you saved as more frequently. If filename.jpg doesn't work then change to filename.psd and see if it then opens.
Maybe this will work but not sure. Best of luck. |

Windows has an option "Hide extensions for known file types" (which is activated by default in the beginning, as far as I know). You can find it by opening any folder and then choosing in the menu "Tools" -> "Folder options...". There you'll find it in the tab "View". (Well, in XP at least. You shouldn't be using Vista anyways. ;-) ).
I strongly recommend you deactivate this option, so that file extensions are always displayed. Like this, you always know what kind of file you are dealing with and you also see it right away if the extension is missing or wrong. And you cannot be tricked into thinking that an executable (".exe") is a harmless PDF file, for example (a deception sometimes used by viruses). |
