I'm in a multi office environment with a network, I'm the only staff person with CS6 and all our CS5.x users have been getting errors opening CS6 files despite me having file compatibility set to "Always":
- "The document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable..."
- Warnings about missing "color books" even though I don't use PANTONE
- "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop"
I just chatted with Adobe and after a long session here were their non-answers:
- "There is a lot of features in CS6 that will not work on CS5 and we will not be able to help you in opening the CS 6 image in CS5."
- "I am sorry, I understand that, however we will not be able to help you with that."
- "You can disable the Third Party Plug-ins" (I'm not using any)
So... let's start our own list of KNOWN ISSUES with Photoshop version compatibilty
- CS6 vector strokes. Any file I send with the new vector strokes can not be opened by CS5.x users
- It seems if I flatten all shape layers and smart objects it helps, however our PSDS have hundreds of layers and even with the new search feature this is tedious. Plus you get into having two versions of a final file floating around which is a liability.
What have you found? Thanks!
