Hi,

Recently Mitch merged updated PSD plugin code from last year's GSoC branch. The plugin was ported to GEGL and got high bit depth support in the importing part.

Unfortunately it seems to be broken (layer data is not correctly preserved), and we are somewhat out of contributors to work on it (the GSoC student is currently unavailable). Hence we'd appreciate, if someone could have a look at what the code is doing, and then patch it.

For testing purposes (that is, to see what happens now) you can use builds from http://nightly.darkrefraction.com/gimp/stable/ on Windows, or just build the code from Git master branch on Linux.

Additionally, it would be great to get public API for handling text layer data. This would make it possible to plug the existing code that parses text layers in PSD to the API and hence make it possible to preserve and edit text layers in PSD files.

If you feel like doing any of the above, feel free to drop by at #gimp on irc.gimp.net. Or there's always this mailing list, of course :)

And the correct link would be
