dipstick Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thank's, that works nicely. Don't know why I missed that, maybe because I had scripting disabled in my browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrian Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Maybe put something about the required unblocking into the installation instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taoyue Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Version 2.5.0 of the Paint.NET PSD Plugin has been released: http://psdplugin.codeplex.com/ This version requires Paint.NET 4.0.11. Changes: Faster saving of files with few layers. Loading of PhotoDeluxe files with channel length of 0. Support for PSB Large Documents: Each channel must be smaller than 2,147,483,647 bytes. Although PSB files can go up to 300,000 pixels in either dimension, Paint.NET images are limited to 65,535 pixels. PSB files are automatically saved if either dimension exceeds the 30,000 limit for a PSD file. However, the user must manually change the filename extension from .PSD to .PSB. Changes for developers using the PSD Plugin as a library: Saving of 16-bit and 32-bit depth images Image compression using ZIP and ZIP-with-prediction 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanceERB Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) I updated to the new 4.0.12 last night. Now, it won't open any .psd files. It still lets me choose it as an option when saving files. What should I do?!! I REALLY need to use .psd files on paint.NET. EDIT: I tried deleting the .dll and downloading it again....and I keep getting an error message. Edited September 14, 2016 by DanceERB additional info.

Pixey Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi DanceERB - Welcome to the forum . I've just updated to 4.0.12 and it's working fine for me. Are you sure you put the photoshop .dll in the File Types Folder and not Effects?

taoyue Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 DanceERB sent me email separately with the error message. I am posting here so that you're not left in suspense about the resolution. The problem was caused by using 7-Zip to extract Photoshop.dll directly into C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes. This folder requires administrative privileges to write to it. However, 7-Zip runs as an unprivileged user and does not try to elevate itself to admin. It just gives an error message. The workaround is to do a two-stage copy. First, use 7-Zip to extract the ZIP file to another directory. Then use Windows Explorer to copy the DLL into C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes. Windows Explorer will prompt to elevate, so the second copy operation will work. Incidentally, this is the sort of corner case that third-party utilities often miss. The ZIP handler that's built-into Windows will prompt to elevate if the user does not have permission to write to a directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockrylin Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I am using Paint.NET version 4.0.12, and I put PhotoShop.dll into FileTypes, but when I opened Paint.net again and checked filetypes, .psd did not show up. Is there something I'm missing? Here is the path: C:\Program Files\paint.net\Filetypes\PhotoShop.dll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hi Blockrylin and Welcome to the forum Strange - just to re-cap - can you see it in your folder? Should look like this: Then when you are in PDN and want to save an image, it should look like this in the drop down: Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Blockrylin Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) I'll try to screenshot it: This is what mine looks like. I don't know if restarting Paint.NET means just closing and opening, because that is what I did. EDIT: I just saw a post saying that the Megalo Effects pack is the problem. o-o Edited September 17, 2016 by Blockrylin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BW17 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm totally new to forums and I could not find anyone who had the same problem. Right after the update to Paint.net 4.0.12 I was not able to open psd files. An error message about problems with the files was displayed even on files I had opened previously. I loaded the psd plugin in May. So it was probably an old version. My problem was resolved when I downloaded the 2.5.0 version of the plugin. Hope this helps someone else dealing with the problem.

pn66 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I too just downloaded the newest Paint.net 4.0.12 AND the latest psd plugin 2.5.0 . Now I can't save a freshly created file and it won't open any psd files that I've previously created and/or downloaded. I did the "2 stage copy" as stated above and my "FileTypes" folder does have the PhotoShop.dll file in there along with only one other dll (IcoCur.dll). The file opening error is this: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'PaintDotNet.Threading.PrivateThreadPool' from assembly 'PaintDotNet.Core, Version=4.12.6099.39434, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. at PaintDotNet.Data.PhotoshopFileType.PhotoshopFileType.OnLoad(Stream input) at PaintDotNet.FileType.Load(Stream input) in D:\src\pdn\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 496 at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Eval[T1,TRet](Func`2 f, T1 arg1) in D:\src\pdn\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 158 The save error is this: Preview file size (error) Then after clicking ok I get this error: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'PaintDotNet.Threading.PrivateThreadPool' from assembly 'PaintDotNet.Core, Version=4.12.6099.39434, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. at PaintDotNet.Data.PhotoshopFileType.PhotoshopFileType.OnSave(Document input, Stream output, SaveConfigToken token, Surface scratchSurface, ProgressEventHandler callback) at PaintDotNet.FileType.Save(Document input, Stream output, SaveConfigToken token, Surface scratchSurface, ProgressEventHandler callback, Boolean rememberToken) in D:\src\pdn\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 293 at PaintDotNet.Controls.DocumentWorkspace.<>c__DisplayClass240_0.<DoSave>b__2() in D:\src\pdn\src\PaintDotNet\Controls\DocumentWorkspace.cs:line 2925 at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Try(Action f) in D:\src\pdn\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 174 Hopefully these errors will pinpoint the problem.

taoyue Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 17 hours ago, pn66 said: Hopefully these errors will pinpoint the problem. Those errors only appear if you have PSD Plugin 2.4.1 or earlier installed. If it is showing up, then PSD Plugin 2.5.0 is not installed properly People seem to be having trouble because upgrading requires that the old version be overwritten. You don't have to do this on fresh installs, so this problem doesn't come up. The best workaround is to first delete the old version: Restart the computer. Delete Photoshop.dll from C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes Start Paint.NET and make sure that it cannot open or save PSD files. Close Paint.NET. Once this has been done, you can then do a fresh install of PSD Plugin 2.5.0: Download a fresh copy of PSD Plugin 2.5.0 from: http://psdplugin.codeplex.com/downloads/get/1606282 Right-click the ZIP file and select "Extract All ..." Make sure PhotoShop.dll has the timestamp: 9/11/2016 10:35 PM Copy PhotoShop.dll into C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pn66 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thank You taoyue......I did everything you said to do but still had the errors so I completely wiped out the program then re-installed a fresh download to a different drive and it all works great!!!

On my PC it says: 12/09/16 05:35 You're better off advising users to check the version number through the dll properties. BTW, thank you, taoyue, for as great plugin that I use a lot.

The timestamp check is actually not just to verify the file version, but also to check for side effects. As we saw above, third-party ZIP tools can have trouble with things that work correctly using the Windows built-in ZIP handler. The built-in ZIP handler in Windows always extracts files with the time set to the local time zone. No matter which time zone the user is in, the same times will be displayed in Windows Explorer. I just tried with my system set to Cyprus time (Eastern European time zone), and it shows the correct time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djisves Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Aha! Well I always use WinRAR. Matter of habit I guess as I've been using it for ages and ages. Apart from the difference in the date format and the adjustment for the time zone, I'm pleased to report NO side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiScraps Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 When I tried to open .psd files this morning, I got an error message, the same one that can be found here: After I downloaded, and unzipped the new plugin files, Windows defender alerted me that it found Malware/Trojan whatever. I immediately quarantined and removed the issue, then deleted the plugin zip files. Has anyone else ran into this problem? I really need to be able to open my photoshop files in paintnet.

Windows Defender does not alert on PSDPlugin-2.5.0.zip. VirusTotal also gives it a clean bill of health at 55 different malware scanners: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/309c44f2ceec555b0efddda81679a54a0bb89fccc38b784cc4c8609e87e4327e/analysis/ The problem may be caused by a browser add-on. I would suggest using a different web browser to download the plugin. Windows 10 Edge would be a good choice because it has very few add-ons available. However, any web browser will do except the one that you normally use. Make sure to copy-paste the direct link to the download: http://psdplugin.codeplex.com/downloads/get/1606282 If you continue to have this problem even with a different web browser, please do NOT delete the file. Submit the file to VirusTotal for analysis, and post the URL here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
