Trying to fix Photoshop files

Mike,

I actually speak a little German, but apparently not enough for file-upload.net

I'm actually checking out YouSendIt.com that someone recommended me to one time... but one needs an email address for the receiving end.

Pooman, I was looking to send you PM... is that available for you?

Thanks...

What version of PS are you now using?
There was NO compatibility mode back in PS of 2004. That came about because Adobe never put a full blown PSD reader/converter in Lightroom, and they still haven't.
I think the first version of LR came out in 2006.

Are you opening these image in PS or are you getting this message in Bridge?

Thanks guys... especially Pooman.

I ended up getting my girlfriend to get in to my place in San Francisco, open the files on my Mac, save them to flat images, and then send them back to me... I've now got them open and I can work with them at my location.

I really appreciate everyone's help and concern.

Who can ever be sure about all of this compatibility mode stuff... most of the images that I saved the exact same way at the same time that are on these disks open just find in layers in GIMP and in Photoshop 5.5 on this Windows 7 machine... it was just a few of them that wouldn't.

Thanks to all,

digiday

Shootist pal "compatibility mode" was around in ps7 days 2002-2003 it worked better in CS (ver 8) 2003 but to be honest has never been that good to totally rely on

Well I went from V6 to CS2.
