photoshop images problem

  • We moved around some PSD files to an external hard drive. In the process the files are now locked and unable to open in photoshop. When we try to open the files we get the follow - \'could not complete your request because the file is locked. Use the \'properties\' command in the windows explorer to unlock the file.\' So you are aware all other files as in PDF and JPEG etc... it seems to be just PSD files that can\'t open. We have tried already to go into properties/security-advance-owner-edit to change the permission, but this never helped. We still get the same error message. I hope someone can help me asap. These are very important files we need to open.

    Here\'s a good trick that\'s works in many cases. You\'ll be using Fireworks to open, and re-save the Photoshop file. This will fix most corruptions.

    1. Open the corrupt Photoshop file in Fireworks.
    2. Use Fireworks to save it as a .psd Photoshop file. (Important: Do Not save it as a Fireworks file or another extension, because Photoshop may not recognize the layers, or you could lose data.)
    3. Remember to give your file a different name when saving, so you won\'t overwrite your original. (A good idea would be to create a backup of your original before trying this procedure.)
    4. Open your newly created file in Photoshop.
    5. Remember that many effects will not show in Fireworks, but should show up in the Photoshop layers.

    Fireworks plays nicely with Photoshop, and generally preservers the most of the original layers/data. The older Fireworks versions are ok at this technique, but the newer CS versions are really good at preserving/transferring information. This works well when Photoshop and Fireworks are the same version/suite, to avoid the diffrent version (too old/new) conflict. If your file is badly corrupted, you may be able to get some of your data back using this technique.
