So i was making lt.pie a sig last night, and it needed animating.
I thought ide leave it till tomorrow [now today] to finish it.
I save it as "lt.pie" and PS automatically saved it as a PSD.

About 10 minutes ago I try to open the document and select "lt.pie" and now photoshop seems to think that my PSD is some kind of '.pie' document, and wont let me open it :evil:

Is there any way that i can solve this or re-open it as the PSD it is?

You tried right click on file, "Open with..."? Or making a copy of the file, showing file extensions, and changing it to .psd? I did a search on file-extensions.org and couldn't find a match for Windows, so I don't think it's a reserved extension / file-type for PS.

On Macs, you can just rename the file by clicking on it once 8-)

As long as you have the "don't show extensions for known file types" option disabled, you can change file extensions on the fly in Windows.

Never .. ever .. ever .. EVER use a . in a file name, unless your using a linux based Operating System. EVER.

Caveat: unless you know what you're doing.

I can name things with .'s in them just fine in MacOS.

thats because your mac is now based on linux. Windows does funny things with file names .. for example MyMap.psd is the same as mymap.psd in windows, but is 2 different files in linux (and i believe MacOS as well).

Why is this important, well most web servers are Linux based so be vigilant with your naming conventions (web standard is all lowercase)

Macs are Unix based as far as I know, not Linux.

Yes, file names are case sensitive, but I seem to recall getting in trouble when wanting to convert my PiratesVs.Ninjas.psd file to a png...

Maybe that's just a photoshop thing though.
