I've never had a problem with PS on the mac. How are you trying to open the jpgs? I usually do it either from a finder window by right clicking (that's control click if you have a mighty mouse) and choosing open with adobe photoshop or, if I am already in PS then Command + O, or from the toolbar-file-open.
Basically i saved a few pictures of facebook...for this site im trying to do....and i saved them to the a folder on the mac on the desktop as a JPEG images.
I then tried to open up PS (as im trying to merge a header image) so i tried to then open one of the saved JPEG images and it says that message?
Now that was the way i used to do it on my old PC !!
It might turn out to be the easiest option, but I would check that you can open the images with Preview first. Either open Preview and try and open the images from there or right click on the image and 'open with' Preview.
Hal8 it sounds like you are a new convert to the Mac. First of I would like to personally congratulate you and then tell you that it wont take you long before you are comfortable with the system. A lot of people moving over from a PC platform are confused at first just because they have gotten use to the "PC" way.
My New Friend, apostrophe made a comment about the Mighty mouse I would actually like to clear up.
The mouse that came with your mac (the Mighty Mouse) is actually a four button mouse. It looks like a one button and is set up by default as a one button but by making a few adjustments in your System Preference you can have up to a four button mouse with up down and left right scrolling.
Here is how you find that menu. (If you are not new to mac please forgive the assumption ) [attachment=2]Picture 3.png[/attachment]
Click on the area highlighted in blue.
The mouse set up is pictured with a keyboard and looks like the icon in the bottom right of the image below. [attachment=1]Picture 4.png[/attachment]
Click on the icon mentioned.
You will be looking at a menu bar where you can select and set up personal preferences for your Keyboard, Mouse, if their bluetooth settings and keyboard shortcuts... For this you would want to obviously select the mouse option. [attachment=0]Picture 5.png[/attachment]
This image is how I have my mouse set up. Secondary button is like right clicking.
There you go... I know it wasn't part of this post topic but if you are an avid photoshop user you will find that this is can make your life a lot easier and fast for common task you do in Photoshop.
Ive just got my Photoshop for my new mac...but for some reason it wont let me open any saved jpg images.
Does anyone know why ?
When i try it says "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
Thanks in advance
I have also tried to drag the folder to the PS icon.
Its probably something really simple that i have done wrong !!
Surely you mean the file tab?
What happens if you try to open the image in PS from a Finder window?
Are you trying to open a folder of images, or one single image?
Im just trying to open one image from a folder.
As i said...ive prob done something silly somewhere !!
I then tried to open up PS (as im trying to merge a header image) so i tried to then open one of the saved JPEG images and it says that message?
Now that was the way i used to do it on my old PC !!
Can you open any other jpgs in PS?
I just saved a pic off facebook and opened it in PS without any problems.
How would i open it with preview ?
Cant seem to open any images
Is there something i have to do when i first open PS or something ??
I'm starting to wonder if Photoshop is properly installed?
Should i uninstall then re install ??
