Problems with file name

[imagemaker]

I had a student who turned in a ps document that didn't have the file extension (is that what it's called?) and therefore couldn't open. I retyped the name and accidently put a Fireworks extension on it. Now it won't open and I am not sure how to change that to a PSD. Is it too late for that file?

Hi imagemaker

You don't say what OS version you have which would be a big help! so this is assuming you're on Windows

Just change the extension to .psd

If it's Windows 10 you can find the option here


For MAC

I am using Windows. So I should be able to force the FW extension to turn into a PSD?

Yep if you follow the instructions I gave above
