saving an image

[shirley miers]

I have lost an image. I saved it to a folder as a psd (I thought), but now I cant open it. I have tried all the extensions and no luck! I am using Elements 3. The image shows up on windows explorer as a psd icon, but will not open in either explorer or elements. I even tried it in CS--no luck.

does anyone have advise on how to find what it has been stored in?

Thanks, Shirley

Shirley,

Try Irfanview ... if anything will open it Irfanview will.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that it works

Wendy,
thanks for your advice. I hate to use an outside body on my images unless it is a last resort.

I would still be interested in a way to dig into the image and find out how it was stored.

Thanks, Shirley

Shirley,

Irfanview is the only thing I can suggest ... its the package most people turn to when they have an unloadable image.

All you do is download the package and use it ... so no third parties are involved.

Wendy.... thanks for the tip on Irfanview. I am now able to view all files, including PSD at full screen size thru Windows, by naming it as my default image viewer. Works great, and it was free!

Glad it works OK for you ...

Irfanview is maybe part solution, cause I can´t save a PSD as Jpeg, it saves a unknown type of file. But when I duplicate it then I can save it as Jpeg.

I really can't see that Irfanview would have anything at all to do with your problem ...

I notice that you have already posted your question under its own topic ... so hopfully someone will be along soon who will be able to help you.
