Photoshop CS layered files not opening correctly in CS 5

[Ultimate Top Trumps]

I have been using Photoshop CS and have found it very easy to use and navigate and was looking very forward to getting CS5.

Anyway, I have been stumbling around CS5 for a few days now and opened up a template I created in CS. This template had 2 main layers - 1) was the case or card holder and 2) was the colour of the card backs. These are then opened up in Flash as part of the slideshow. Look at my site to get an idea of what I mean.

Now, the case layer had a number of filters mainly the bevel and emboss which remained static as this was the case. The colour of the case needs to change to reflect the colour of the actual case. Another issue as well, is where is the little icon at the bottom of the Actions/History palette gone that allows you to change these filters? I cannot find the Bevel filter in the Filters menu.

Can someone please tell me how I can open the older psd files in CS5 complete with the layers (is this something that has been dropped) and also tell me where the filter button on the Actions/History palette has gone?

Thanks in advance!

Can someone please help me as this has really caused massive problems. Is there a way I can view CS files in CS5, please?

I think you will get better response if you attach the file here, it is hard to react without checking.

Unfortunately , certain functions, in your case, the adjustment layers, created in earlier versions of CS do not open in CS5.

The BEVEL as well as other FXs is now a layer effect - found in your layers pallete.....

Hi DV8,

Ah, right! I realised a few minutes ago that the layout of CS5 is a lot different to CS.

Thanks for pointing out (something I ought to have realised myself) regarding the the FX was in the Layers palette so that has made things a bit easier. Guess I will have to see about changing colours a different way, although that would be the easiest part.

OK, well, thanks for the help at least it has sorted the issue out even though I need a kick up the backside for not seeing it.

Peta62, I couldn't attach a file or give a link as I have not made enough posts!

Thanks for all your help, I can now get back to the grind!

Ooops, sorry I have not noticed since I do not know the rules that well.
