Thanks Elaine,

    I'll have to give it a shot when I'm done getting the elbow grease laid in there. I was only about 8 graphics into the commercial so I just re-imported the file fresh and relinked as I went. This is a long form (30 minute) commercial so there was plenty I had to do :).

Hi Rob,

I had something like this happen long ago. Don’t know if this will work for you, but you might want to give it a try.

With the file on your Windows machine, 
- launch Photoshop
- go to File -> Open
- find the file on your computer
- see if it opens this way
- if it does, once it is open, do a “save as” using the same name, but in a different location
- now trying opening your AE file and linking the ‘saved as’ photoshop file.

I had a PS file that had become corrupt (actually a bug that was common a few years back when moving a PS file to a new location). I was able to get it work by following the steps I outlined. Please note - don’t try double clicking the file to open it in Ps. Be sure you open it by File -> Open in Ps.

Let me know if this works.

Good luck!

A bit more information:

   Apparently the photoshop file was saved on a mac without the .psd extension. When adding the .psd it still refuses to update however. When opening the file on the Mac, everything works well without the extension. When an extension was added, I began to get zero denominator errors when trying to relink files.

Hi all,

   I was hoping someone could shine a light on this one as it's going to force me to re-import a 400+ layer photoshop file. I've moved a project over to another workstation from a Mac (CS6) to my home computer (Win7 CC). Normally I can just find one layer in the file and use reload footage to relink it. The relink works but the usual "After Effects has found XXX missing images" that follows it since the remaining layers are part of the same photoshop document does not happen. Any way to make this work in AE?
