# Hi peoples, wondering if you could offer me some advice with a photoshop issue?
Basically I have created a poster/logo for a short university film project using photoshop (on a macbook) and saved the the image as a .png file, I forwarded that onto my colleagues who are all using PC's, the probs we are having is that they cannot open the photoshoped image on windows. Is there anybody on here who could offer me some advice on how to rectify this problem as they need the images for an important presentation tomorrow...

Cheers and best
S.T.

# A .png should open fine in Windows
are you certain it's a png and not accidentally saved as a .psd file?

Yes, soz, your right, I did save it as a .psd, should I just convert that to a .jpeg, as our friend underneath has just suggested?

# Yep
Make sure all the layers are flattened (ctrl + e), save for web, and as a jpg or png, and it should open fine

even with Windows

# Are you using an old OS (pre OS X)?
I may be wrong, but I seem to remember that files pre OS-X were made up of 2 parts, data & resource, Windows will see 2 files and not understand either of them.

# What used to happen was that when you sent a file over a network it only sent the data and not the resource fork
so image files were alright, though when you got them back again the mac might not know what the filetype was (unless some program had set the resource fork up again, like a web browser would when you save an image).

# Open it again on your computer,
save a different file type and send again.

# I hate to sound like a jerk and everything, but you're an idiot.
C'mon, this isn't difficult. Simply being aware of what you're doing would've solved this whole problem.

# Save it as a JPG
quality 1, the lower the number the less the impurities, trust me.
