Hello,

One of my suppliers has sent a disc of .PSD files, however, my system won't open them. Could anyone tell me what format it is and how I can open them. They are supposed to be images, which I urgently need to put on my site.

Thank you.

Kate.

These are Photoshop format files. You will need photoshop, or a converter tool...

Great!!!! Photoshop is that expensive software, isn't it? Are there any free converter tools and is that what I look for in a search - Photoshop converter tool?

Thank you.

Kate.

I don't know if this'll do it, or if it only makes slideshows....

If you want to mail them to me I can open them in Photoshop for you and save them in a different format.

That would be fantastic VSHosting. I will send them over - I really appreciate the help.

Webstuff - thank you for your help too. I have downloaded the suggested program, but can't get it to work with these images. Thank you anyway.

A handy free program for opening psd files is irfranview

http://www.irfanview.com/

I use this alll the time, it is great for viewing just about all image formats I especialy like it for photos because it is so easy to filck betweeen them, a quick press of return and they go full screen then simply use the arrow keys to go to the next photo.

It also lets you save as many different formats.

yep .psd is the format in which you save graphic files created in Adobe photoshop

you'll need photoshop to open such a file, or a converter

google it and you might find a converter
