I am running CS3, and frequently get the following error message:
'Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop
document'
and cannot open certain files.
They are photoshop files, created in Photoshop, and only used in
Photoshop, and I am unable to open them - I am losing huge amounts of
work and time
Try opening your Photoshop file in Illustrator (choosing "Convert Photoshop Layers to Objects…").
This works with CS but I don't remember if this worked with earlier versions.
Also problem might be in preferences.
Photoshop sometimes gets stuck because of a corrupt preferences file.
1. While holding down all three Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons open Photoshop or a file that opens with Photoshop
2. You should get a prompt asking if you want to "delete the Photoshop settings file".
3. Click Yes.
This will reset the preferences file.
And some useful references as adding assist....
