Kaleidoscope is not a feature of the PSD file format. If the kaleidscope plugin in Photoshop is just rendering copies of the base image to new layers, then they will appear. If it is using layer effects to change the lighting on certain layers, then those layer effects will not appear.

Please send me a copy of the PSD file so that I can investigate. My email address is at the top of the page at the PSD Plugin website: https://www.psdplugin.com/

Every layer is giving the same error. There's something about the file that makes the plugin think the channels are incomplete. Please send me a copy of the PSD file so that I can investigate. My email address is at the top of the page at the PSD Plugin website: https://www.psdplugin.com/

Do it load incorrectly, or does it not load at all? If it loads incorrectly, not every feature of Photoshop is supported. Please see: Compatibility with Photoshop If it gives an error message, then that should not happen. Please send me the PSD file so I can investigate.

Thanks for investigating. Please see my comments on Github.

Please see the "Insufficient memory due to too many layers" section: https://www.psdplugin.com/docs/compatibility-with-photoshop/ This file has dimensions of 8192x8192 and 90 layers, so it requires 24.7 GB of memory to load into Paint.NET. I tested it, and the file loads successfully on a computer with more than that much memory.

Codeplex shut down in 2017. Please use the new website, which is the link in the first post of this thread: https://www.psdplugin.com/

You can use the alternative installation location for non-administrators: https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/InstallPlugins.html Halfway down the page, there is a yellow box that says "Note: In the Windows Store version of paint.net ..." It actually works for the non-Windows Store version as well. Create the folder structure exactly as shown in the screenshot, and then copy the DLL file into This PC > Documents > paint.net App Files > FileTypes.

This PSD file has clipping masks, which are not available in Paint.NET. In general, the PSD plugin only implements PSD features that also exist in Paint.NET. However, masks have long been an exception to the rule. Masks are a heavily-used feature in PSD files, and discarding the masks would cause a lot of files to look wrong. Clipping masks are similar to layer masks, and they're even in the same menu group as the layer masks in the Photoshop UI. This argues strongly for adding clipping masks to the PSD plugin.

Please send me a copy of the PSD file, and I'll take a look at it. My email address is listed here: https://www.psdplugin.com/ If the file is too big to fit in an email, please upload it to OneDrive and share the file to my email.

Ievgen actually contacted me a couple weeks ago, and I explained that I couldn't take the changes. There are a lot of issues with the approach that he has taken. It's using the layer name as a form of markup, but the text is actually localized. Paint.NET can't view or edit the layer groups, and most of the blend modes will not work correctly. You'd be able to save a file, but you wouldn't know what it looked like until you load it into Photoshop. You also wouldn't know if you'd screwed up the layer groups until you'd already overwritten your original file. It's just very problematic to do this in a filetype plugin. Layer groups are really an image editing feature. Whenever Paint.NET gets layer groups, I will update the PSD Plugin to load and save layer groups. But not before.

Can you strip down the file to a minimum repro case? Remove half the layers and see if the PSD Plugin can load it. If it loads successfully, then the problem was in one of the layers that was deleted. If it still doesn't load, then the problem can be found in one of the layers that remains. Keep halving the layers until you're down to one, and then erase the contents of the layer. The error message indicates a parsing error, so I don't need to look at the contents of the file. The image can be blank. As long as the file still fails to load in the PSD Plugin, I can take a look at the structure of the file to see what's causing it.

Please send me a copy of the PSB file that causes this error. If the file is too large to email, please upload it to OneDrive and share it to me. My email address is at the top of the PSD Plugin website: https://www.psdplugin.com/

There is not enough information yet to diagnose the problem. Please post screenshots of File Explorer, opened to the following directories. Use Detail mode, and maximize the window so we can see filesize and timestamp. C:\Program Files\paint.net C:\Program Files\paint.net\Effects C:\Program Files\paint.net\FileTypes

This is not a common error message. Please send me the PSD file so I can investigate the problem further. Use the email address at the top of the PSD Plugin web page: https://www.psdplugin.com/ If the file is larger than about 20 MB, please upload it to OneDrive instead and share it with me using that email address.
