Fucking photoshop!!!!!
 

Has anyone got a problem switching from Adobe Photoshop to Image Ready and then back again.

I slice it up in Image Ready and then when I try to bring back to photoshop. I get an error.

Saying it can't read the format, not compatible with this version of photoshop.

WHAT THE FUCK??? I did it earlier with no errors.

you live and learn

and then get psp

Never had that happen. Don't know what to tell ya :(

I used to think PSP was the be-all, end-all... then I got Photoshop and haven't opened PSP since.

bummmppp

Quit working with warez and buy real ones and you won't have any problems

your pc sucks
throw it:1orglaugh

hmmmm i think that's happened to me before.. like a year ago or so.. haven't had it happen again.

Do u have enough ram? That used to cause me problems switching between photoshop and image ready..
Just a though?! Otherwise i dunno

Where am I gonna cough up 800 dollars. :glugglug

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yea ... Hard for small ppl . I use photoshop daily so I bough a liscence . But for someone that don'T make enough money to live out of it ... I think it's right to use the warez one :P

okay now.....i can't even open the fucking psd.....

i get that error all the time. i have to close Image ready and then try to switch back again. sometimes it fails a second and third time. i dont know what to do about it though. :(

First of all, a few comments...Sounds like you need to adjust your "scratch disk" setting under File...Preferences. Your harddrive space could be lacking and if that is the case, your problem lies there.

Questions:

What type of PC are you running?
How much RAM?
Is you version of Photoshop real and paid for?
How much hard drive space to you have on your computer?

Answer these questions and I know I can help you.

For you guys laughing saying switch to Paintshop Pro, blow me. I have both and use a combination of Fireworks, Photoshop, Imageready and Paintshop Pro all of which I purchased. They are all good depending on what you want to do.

I wonder why Photoshop has been around, what 11 years? Must be something there.

Yep I've had that happen too. Several times. Reinstalling didn't help, and I had an empty 120 gig scratch disk so that wasn't it. I have NO idea what caused it, but I eventually abandoned imageready altogether because this error was actually rendering my files unreadble. I did a bunch of searching, but I never could find a fix or reason for the error. Sorry man.

And when I had my same problem, it is on a BRAND NEW computer system, top of the line and stoked for Ram, harddrive space, etc, the errors were not the computer.

There's just something with Photoshop 7 that causes those errors, but the circumstances have to be JUST right.. I never figured out what the "ingredients" of the error were.

Sorry, the PSD is screwed now :(

You know computers, they have minds of their own sometimes, or so it seems. Personally, I have never had a problem with Photoshop, EVER! I've had problems with other programs on certain systems many times. Each case is different and that being said, software will have problems, I don't care if you have a rocket launcher for a computer.

Unfortunately this error plagued me for DAYS! I even reinstalled my operating system hoping that might have been the problem. I installed Photoshop and imageready many times too. I spent those days troubleshooting hardware, software, and everything in between trying to find what caused the conflict.. Unfortunately I am pretty sure it's an actual error in PS, however certain conditions have to be met to encounter it. Once you do, it doesn't go away again. I don't understand why. But anyways, this is actually the first time I've ever encountered anyone else having the same problem. Everyone always thought I was fucking crazy :) I'm relieved to know I'm not alone nor crazy. :)

You are probably right about the problem being in Photoshop. I have one computer it won't run on and it's loaded with RAM, HD space, you name it. It simply won't work so I said forget it and use it for other things. That's the luxury of having several computers I guess. I hope you have another system. BTW - What OS are you running? That might be the problem but I highly doubt it if everything else is working fine.

I've had the same problem and lost the psd files for a full site!

Cause = when switching back and forth between PS and image ready.

It seems only to occur if you are impatient and clicking stuff while it is still exporting the file to the other application.

After a more patient approach to working like this, the error doesn't occur. But since, I have always saved a backup of my psd file before attempting to export it into image ready.

Don't click anything while its busy, it won't go faster and it will only fuck up your work.

I work for AAA Adult Design, and just about all of our designers have had this problem at one time or another.

From what we've been able to gather, this problem has something to do with the Pattern Overlay layer style. This is the one thing we noticed that all affected PSDs had in common. It seems to happen a good percentage of the time when this layer style is used (though it only seems to happen when a document is created in Photoshop, then sliced and saved in ImageReady).

Unfortunately, we haven't found a cure for this after it's happened (after both Photoshop and ImageReady tell you the file is an unknown format).

The way I've found around it is this: if you have a layer that uses the Pattern Overlay style, duplicate it, set the opacity of the duplicated layer to 0, link it to the original layer, then merge the two, thus eliminating all styles for that layer. Then you can slice as normal in ImageReady.

Since I've been doing this, I haven't had that problem once, so I'm pretty sure that's what causes it.

edit: nevermind...

I second pooterpatty. Ive had this same problem before once you have worked on Pattern Overlays and other effects (like animated gifs) and saved in ImageReady. I have a solution though, keep back up copies of your earlier work from PhotoShop. Once you have saved in ImageReady you will have to continue with it. So just leave ImageReady and the slicing for the last step.

Hope I was of help.
