Can't open 5gb psb file because of program error

[hvinh1]

Hello all, 

I'm hoping somebody can help me with this. I'm on a MacBook Pro, Apple M1 Max and I have a psb file that's 4.74GB and PS won't open it due to "a program error." I'm hoping to just get it opened then I can divide it into 2 or 3 more managable sized documents.

Please let me know if anybody has an answer to this!

Thank you so much in advance,

Hung

Is this file on your internal drive? Please post your system info, from the Help menu.

It was on an external hard drive, but I just pulled it onto my internal hard drive and I'm still getting the same error. Here's my system info: Apple M1 Max, 64GB memory, MacOS Sonoma version 14.4.1.

Thanks!

No, please post the actual system info. Not a summary.

Thanks so much for replying, but I just recreated the document. I needed it asap. Thanks though!

Actually I recreated it now and I have the same error. I'm assuming one of the layers I have is corrupt for some reason. Although theres no way to tell because I can't open it. Do you think this is still salvagable @Lumigraphics

Nevermind @Lumigraphics I got it to work!
