Mac Photoshop to PC Photoshop problems...

LJPJC Dec 8, 2014 3:20 PM

I have created a file with several layers on my iMac in Photoshop CS5. The file is to be spot color printed from a PC running Photoshop CS5. My files arrive in the PC as a single layer. Why?

And how can I separate them in the PC?

Thanks.

Easiest way to insure avoiding damage during transport is to zip (compress) the file before emailing it and sending it as a .zip file that can be unzipped at the other end.

Avoiding Apple's Mail application is also a very good idea. It even compresses and or downsizes some image files.

How are you transporting them to the PC? Flashdrive? Dropbox? Email?

Transporting on a Flash Drive.

Did you get any error messages when opening these flattened files?
If not, then check the settings when saving the files (for example don't turn off the "Layers" checkbox in the save dialog) to the flash drive.
