I am having a difficult time figuring this out...At work, we have an HD Final Cut Pro system and the editor exported PICT files for me. He used the 4:2:2 color (which I assume is 10-bit color) - The problem is, these pict files open up in Photoshop CS on the Mac, but they won't open in Photoshop CS on the PC.
The PC error message says: "Could not complete your request because the PICT is too complex to open on this computer. Photoshop Windows supports raster PICT files only."
Now, I assume this means that Photoshop on the PC can't handle the 10-bit color like the Mac? If I open them on the Mac and resave the PICT files, then they open on the PC. Am I correct in my assumption or is there something else at play here? I have NO idea what "raster PICT files" are....anyone? and what exactly is happening when I resave these PICT files on my Mac? Why do they work on the PC then?
Oh, by the way, the PICT files open in QuickTime on the PC, so it's definitely a Photoshop issue.
I've searched Apple's site and Adobe's site and even tried search engines, but I can't seem to find anything on this issue.
