File Not Compatible with this version of Photoshop - What can I do?

My boss sent me a psd file he's been working on before leaving for vacation, and now I need to make some changes. When I try to open the file I get the "File Not Compatible with this version of Photoshop" error message, with no further details, so I don't know in what way it's incompatible. I updated to the most recent version of Photoshop, but that didn't help. I'm seeing in some other threads people solving this by using other software to repair corruption, but I can't download any non-Adobe software without IT, because my work laptop doesn't allow me admin access, and it'll take at least a few days for IT to approve this.

 

What else can I do to open my file?

Hi @carif32859200 If you want to send me the PSD file, I'll see if I can open it and resave it, so you can as well. It's possible it may be corrupted and I'll check that for you, too. You can send me a private message with a dropbox or other cloud link to transfer the file. Hope that's helpful for now.

Hi @Tairuki Evely24825468rgkq Can you give us some more information? You have a PSD file saved on the cloud, and you were able to open it 4 hours ago. Now, you are trying to open it again, and you get the notice it's not compatible? What version of Photoshop are you using, and what is your operating system?

 

Are you able to see your document when you are logged in with your Adobe ID here: https://assets.adobe.com/cloud-documents. If so, can you select the image and rename, move or copy it successfully?
