Are you clicking on a .tif file to open it, or selecting File > Open and then navigating to the folder where your .tif file is? Photoshop file association does not default to opening .tif files when a .tif file is clicked on, but should open by selecting File > Open and then navigating to the correct folder and selecting the file.

Have you checked to see what file associations are assigned in Photoshop? To do that, select Edit > File Association... Check the block that says "Tagged Image File Format (*.tif)." Now, when you click on a .tif file, it will open in Photoshop.

If your version of Photoshop is so old that .tif is not an assigned file extension, the native extension for Photoshop is a .psd file. Use that instead of .tif if you still can't open a .tif file after trying the 2 options I gave you above.

Repa,

I have to report that I have not been able to solve this problem.

My Photoshop is CS2. I tried to goggle for a solution but have had no luck so far

Would really appreciate more ideas on this... thank you!

Have you seen this?

Here's some discussion of the problem:

If nothing above is helpful, tell me exactly where the .tif files are, how and where and by whom and what application they were created, what different approaches you've tried to open them, and what error message or program response you get when you try the different approaches to opening a .tif file in CS2.

Bump?

Hehe... sorry Repa.... I have been looking into this... your links were very helpful and I think I know why I can't... will explain a bit better later... still figuering something out

I'm curious about this - would like to know what you finally come up with.

as I have Adobe CS 2, My program opens TIF files. Maybe if you uninstall Photoshop CS 2 and reinstall it, it might work.
