rslskd Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'm trying to use PDN to open a file from Eaglesoft to repaint their aircraft for Flight Simulator. The file is named ESDG_X_fuse1.psd. When I try to open it in PDN, I get a Paint.NET error message that says, "There was an unspecified error while opning the file." It opens fine in another paint program I have, but that program isn't a good enough program to do the paint I want to do. Your's is, but I can't get past this error message. Am I doing something wrong or do I need some kind of plug-in or what? Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Yes. The Photoshop PSD file type plugin is needed. Check for it in Post #7 of this thread: . Edited January 15, 2011 by Sarkut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rslskd Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 I downloaded it and followed the instructions to take the unzipped Photoshop.dll file and place it in the File Types folder...tried it again and still got the same error message. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkut Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Okay. That was just to check that the plugin had installed correctly. Previously there has been a problem opening an aircraft repainting file because of the file being large and multi-layered. There was not a large enough contiguous memory block to open the file. If you close all other unneeded programs that are using memory and/or add memory to your computer, it may (or might not) allow the file to open.

rslskd Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 But it opens fine in PaintShopPro and I can see all the layers there, I just want to be able to use PDN instead; better tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 This does not "feel" like a bug in Paint.NET. I'm closing this thread.
