Hi guys,
On my MacBook, OS 10.6.8 I got CS 5.5. Before this version I have used CS4 and I didn't get any problems.
Many PCT files I have from After Effect CS4 project and when I want to start them in new CS I got error message. Is something strange going on or CS5 does not support PICT format
Thank you,
Nickky

Could not complete your request because the PICT contains data that is no longer supported in this version of Photoshop.
PICT format not supported by Photoshop
The message is clear, “Could not complete your request because the PICT contains data that is no longer supported in this version of Photoshop”.
You are using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and the file that you are trying to access is from the previous version, Adobe Photoshop CS4, which is already not supported with the current version that you are using. If you still need to use the files created on the previous version, uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS5 and then install the previous version so you can work again with your files.
To add the technical aspect, here are the system specifications for Adobe Photoshop CS5:

Well, it seems that adobe CS5 application that you installed is not supported by the operating system that you are using on the MacBook, and therefore the problem is a result of compatibility issues.
To resolve the problem you will need to do the following:
-
Check the system specifications of your mac book, the platform that is being used and other details.
-
And then go to the internet and then search for the adobe aftereffects cs5 program that meets those system specifications.
-
Download and install it.
In case the CS4 version was giving better functionality, then you just choose to reinstall it and continue using it instead of going into the trouble of looking for the CS5 version.
