: Some GIFs can't be opened in photoshop I have a lot of .gif images which can be viewed by e.g. IrfanView, but not opened in photoshop. Photoshop says it can't interpret the file format module

I have a lot of .gif images which can be viewed by e.g. IrfanView, but not opened in photoshop. Photoshop says it can't interpret the file format module (I'm using it in German, so I don't know the exact english error message).

When opening the file in a text editor, it starts with gif89a. I guess it has something to do with this type, but how can I open/edit gif89 files in photoshop?

UPDATE:

I found out that the main difference between working and not working ones is, that the broken ones contain NETSCAPE2.0 in the first line in their source code where the others just have non-human-readable stuff. Both contain gif89a. Removing or editing the Netscape string breaks the file so it cannot be opened anymore in IrfanView.

This format was removed from Photoshop around version 5.5. To restore it you will need to locate an older copy of Photoshop 5-8 and copy it from the "Goodies" folder into your Photoshop plug-in/file formats folder.

Here is an older plug-in. I don't know your version of Photoshop. So I cannot guarantee it will work.
