Hi:
Im haveing some compatibility issues with gimp and psd files. The files were created on a OSX Machine with Photoshop - do not know the version.
I have tried opening them with Debian and Gimp 2.2.13 and openSUSE 10.2 with Gimp (what ever the version is in the std repo)

I have also gained access to a Windows machine and Photoshop CS3 and have opened the psds and resaved them ensuring the "maximum compatibility" option was selected.

Every time and on each machine i get "Error: Can't convert PSD mode to GIMP base imagetype" any brilliant insights? (im sure there are many, how about insights this error :D )

regrads, tom

ok, ill give it ago. i have worked with other psd with v 2.2.13.... thanks for the advice.

Hi, Tom

my recommand is update your gimp to 2.2.17 someday ago, I worked with psd file using 2.2.17. there was no problem.

if you can't open still, please install 2.3.19 developer version.

== 2.3.19 == - support long layer names in PSD files

== 2.3.8 == - made PSD load and save plug-ins 64bit clean - added basic support for layer masks to the PSD save plug-in

== 2.3.0 == - improved PSD save plug-in

good luck

I would check the image is RGB, Greyscale or Indexed type.

yep, converted to rgb. now i can edit, but i will have to get back to photoshop to convert back to cmyk.

the separate plug-in is only 0.3 and the dev say he wont be working on it any more??? can plug-ins blow things up?

hi, Tom.

now gimp can load CMYK images. however can't work on CMYK in gimp, and can't save as CMYK mode, either.

but if you want, you can do that using this plugin

and refer this http://mr-dust.pe.kr/entry/use-CMYK-in-GIMP
