Photoshop hasn't been working right for me today. I don't know what I did to cause this.
I cannot open gif, png, pdf, and other file types that I never use anyway. When I drag them into the application, I get a message saying it's not the right kind of document. I can't save anything as these file types either.
If I try to open a file with "all documents" enabled, I can load it, but I get a dialogue box about Raw Options. And the image itself doesn't show properly.

Sorry this is all noobish. I have no idea what happened, I haven't done anything unusual. It was working fine yesterday. Any idea what could be going on?

Start -> Control Panel -> Folder Options -> File Types

Check if the image files still have the correct linking to Photoshop (arguments, like any other file types could have changed). If this is not the problem, how about resetting Photoshop's configuration (toolbars, custom configs and such) ?

If that still doesn't help, there might only be reinstalling that application.

I forgot to mention, I have a Mac. And it's 7.0, if it matters.
How do you reset the configuration?

I have no experience about Photoshop, I have a copy of Jasc Paint Shop Pro

You have configuration like allocating RAM to Photoshop (at least in PSP you can dedicate a maximum amount or RAM for each open image), associated file types and such; for me it is located below "File" -> "Settings" -> "Reset configuration" - I translated it directly from my German version, so it might be slightly similar in an English PSP.

Again, Photoshop should have this too. Open the help file and search for something like "reset configuration" or "reset settings", maybe you will find something, YD.

Well there is a Preferences section that lets you choose the RAM and other things.. there's no button that resets everything though. I looked through the entire thing and I couldn't find anything that related to my problem.
For some reason I cannot open the help file in Photoshop. I tried googling for a way to reset configuration, but it didn't help out.

I just don't understand how a Photoshop setting would have anything to do with this. I don't mess around with anything.

I would try reinstalling the application. Unless you deleted some file of Photoshop that it needs decode, I'm not sure what is going on. I know I was able to render MSPaint useless in terms of reading JPEGs and GIFs by deleting a certain file.

Hm. Lately my dad's been screwing around with this computer. He's a total jerk so I can't ask him about it.. but that sounds something he'd do. I know I haven't done a thing.
Alright, I'll reinstall the program. Thank you.
