I shot some frames with ccdsoft and saved them as a FITS file, I tried to open that saved work in PS CS 6 but said its the wrong type of document and couldnt open it. OK, so i resaved it as TIFF file, still didnt work, even though i have opened many TIFF files in photoshop from my canon camera after converting them from a RAW image. Anyone know whats happening?
Not sure what's going wrong with your TIF conversion. If you're saving the FIT as TIF in CCDSoft then anything could happen, as I find CCDSoft's handling of file types not the best.
I'd recommend getting a plugin for photoshop. Google "photoshop fits plugin" and you'll find links to the ESO option and to Eddie Trimarchi's, plus a bunch of other info to assist.

By the way, the latest version of FITS Liberator is standalone and doesn't require photoshop.
Thanks for your help guys. I noted that if i save the FITS file in ccdsoft in the 48 bit TIFF option, i can open it in PS but PS wont open it if its not saved as a 48 bit.
