    Hi césarr,

    Could you please check in which exact format was the file saved in CS5? Photoshop CC supports backward compatibility of versions so it should be able to read them.

    You may either check for the same in the compatibility menu in Photoshop.

    • Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
    • From the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility menu, choose any of the following:

    Always: -Saves a composite (flattened) image along with the layers of your document.

    Ask: -Asks whether to maximize compatibility when you save.

    Never: -Saves only a layered image.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks,

    Akash
