open flat image (double click .psb in finder with alt+shift key) from layer file appears white/empty

Jan 29, 2013 4:49 AM

hello,

for printing or mailing purpose, i used to re-open big .psb layer files (2-6GB) in cs5 and cs6 with keybombo

"alt" and "shift" while double clicking the document in the finder window (10.6 + 10.7.5), in order to save time.

this is not possible anymore, everytime i open a document this way its white and empty in photoshop.

and idea, why it doesnt work anymore?

thanks!

How were the psb files saved (Preferences > File Handling > Maximize …)?

i turned off "maximize .psd and .psb file compatibility"
would turning on solve the problem?

thanks

Maximize compatibility causes Photoshop to write a flattened composite image in the file, which other software often relies upon.
