Hey, I'm having a bit of trouble here with Photoshop CS5. When I drag & drop/open a .png picture in Photoshop, it gives me the following error:

I can open .jpeg files all good, and I'm not too sure about.gif or any others, cause I only use Photoshop mainly to do graphics and such. I did some research and other people insisted that is was a corrupted file within the Photoshop directory. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

My png files appears to be bmp files, looking at the header, and open as bitmap worked. Anyway, other programs does not need to force the file with "open as...".

The file probably isn't a PNG, just an image with the wrong file extension.

Yes, it could be a corrupt file as well, but not likely for many files.

I can't save an image in any other format, the only one available is .png. I can convert it, but it's taking me more time to do things. If I could just open it in Photoshop as it is, it would be a lot easier. Any suggestions with what I should to then?

email me a couple of files, and I'll see what's wrong with them.
