naturalp Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Downloaded the latest .psd plugin and put the dll into the effects directory and it works - but not with all .psd files.. specifically the one I need! - it just shows a black and white smudged image - any suggestions why this would be?

Goonfella Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Maybe the image uses a plug in or blend mode not available to PDN. Just a suggestion. :wink: Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 If you can, zip up the .psd and post it here, and someone with Photoshop can take a look and see what feature it uses that Photoshop supports but Paint.NET's Photoshop plugin doesn't (of which there are many). Or the file may just be corrupt... Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 put the dll into the effects directory If you did, in fact, do that, then an easy fix may be to move the .dll to the FileTypes directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The OP states that it does work, but not for all files. I guess that this means the ref to the \Effects folder is a simple error. To get it to work at all it would have to be located in the \Filetype folder.

Sarkut Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Your guess is probably correct, EER. However, I'm not totally ready to assume that there isn't a previously installed, now forgotten, and presently obsolete .dll in FileTypes that PdN is drawing on while the new .dll sits unused in Effects. In any event, naturalp will know. We don't at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Excellent point!

naturalp Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 hI - Thanks for al your interest and I've attached the file. This was a new paint.net install and I did put the psd dll file into the effects directory and it does work with other .psd files.. just not the one I need! psd.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 .... and I did put the psd dll file into the effects directory ... Oops! You should have placed it in the \FileTypes folder as per Sarkut's post above. Try placing it there and restart PDN. If you still have no joy get back to us with the contents of your \Filetypes folder. As Sarkut suggested, you might have a legacy plugin lurking there.

naturalp Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks but that didn't work either - what is a 'legacy plugin'? - this is a new install.. what am I looking for? - if I uninstall pin net and reinstall elsewhere will the legacy plugin still be there?..

naturalp Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Ok so i uninstalled Paint and reinstalled in a new directory and put the .dl lfile in the File types directory - no joy - now I'm wondering if I have the right plugin. I find this site really difficult to navigate and spent hours lokking in the plugins directory until I found this - here's the link http://frankblumenberg.de/doku/doku.php ... in#history Is the correct plugin? Maybe it isn't and that's why it doesn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I believe that is the correct plugin. File Types is the recommended directory, although it seems to work from the Effects folder also. Odd. Have you been able to verify by other ways that this .psd file contains the additional images that you want? That it is not a damaged file, I mean.

naturalp Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Yes the picture is attached up there somewhere (psd.zip) and the people who produced it have checked it as well. - It's just me who can't open it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toe_head2001 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I think you're wasting your time. Paint.net does not support all the features of that .psd. Here's what I got when I opened it.

toe_head2001 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 What the monkey? What did you do, save as an older version of the .psd file type?

Sarkut Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 It was opened in GIMP and saved as an .xcf file. That .xcf file was then opened and saved as a .psd file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturalp Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 clever but not quite right - it should look like this template here http://www.falabellacheval.com/ but I can't get it to display - I do like the tiny upload though - !Thanks..

His his file doesn't look like that, I highly doubt the original file look like that. It was opened in GIMP and saved as an .xcf file.That .xcf file was then opened and saved as a .psd file. Good idea. I'm totally going to write a script to automate that. In, the past when I had a .psd, I had to edit with Gimp. Thanks for the tip.

naturalp Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Minus the horses - yes it did sort of - .. its the colours that are important and I must find a way of viewing psd files reliably...won't paint.net do this then? ...
