I require Photoshop help yet again.

[Star of Penumbra]

Occasionally when I resize pics they become corrupted. I can find no reason for this, especially because some of the pics I resize at the same time are still readable. I can't figure out what's causing this.

Can you post a before and after example? There a lot of possibilities for your problem. Seeing a specific example would help.

Unfortunately no, I can't. The only reason I resize pics is so I can post them here, so the originals are too big. The resized version shows up as that infinitely annoying red X when I try to post it. When I try to access it directly from my HD, a message comes up telling me that the file is corrupted and can't be read.

That doesn't sound like a Photoshop problem, it sounds like a disk problem. Run scandisk and defrag to make sure that your disk is in good shape. Deleting the corrupted file first would be a good idea, too -- I don't think scandisk will cure the corruption.

I have a question.

I use photoshop 7 as well as paint shop pro 7. My problem is that photoshop is telling me the size of my pics is smaller than they really are.

I resize a pic to say 15,000, and I know that will fit for an av, but when I try to post it, it says the file is over 20,000. So, being a detective, I open the pic in paint shop only to find out it is over 20,000, not the size that it says it is in photoshop.

Even if I reduce the quality to 0, it still will say its small, only to be larger than I want.

Only if I resize it in paint and bring it over to photo will it come up as the size it is.

Is there any way to fix it without reinstalling?

I don't know if version 7.0 is different, but Photoshop LE 5.0 requires you change the size of the image, and then change to size of the canvas to match.

I'm not sure what units you're usin to get values of 15,000 for a 150 pixel image, but you should change to measuring images in pixels when working on avatars.

Photoshop is geared to printing things instead of screen display, which can make sizing images a bit cumbersome.

i use photoshop 7 and i have never expierienced the corrupt file problem.i would recommend trying uninstalling/reinstalling the program and see if that helps.maybe try running scandisk and see if that helps and running an antivirus program just in case.

when you say 15,000 are you talking about actual image size or the size of the file itself?need more info to try and figure out your problem.because i have both paint shop pro 7 and photoshop 7 and havent expierienced your problem

photoshop 7 is the same.and im also not sure what type of measurment values Star of Penumbra is using.in photoshop 7 you can use pixels,inch,cm,mm,points,pica's or columns for the width and height and for the resolution settings you can use pixel/cm or pixel/inch

Photoshop corrupt files

I have had this issue as well. After mucking about some, it was an Adobe help file which lead to the solution.

The easiest repair method is to uninstall photoshop, reboot, and reinstall it. There are some lines which describe your file preferences which Pshop writes to your systems registry files. And curiously some times those become invalid. There is also a fix using regedit. But that is more complex to accomplish correctly.

Good luck.
