Error Trying To Load .psd File

[rslskd]

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!

Yes. The Photoshop PSD file type plugin is needed.

Check for it in Post #7 of this thread:

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?

Open any file in Paint.NET.

Then:

File > Save As...

In the Save As dialog does Photoshop (*.psd) show in the drop-down menu of Save as type: ?

Yes, it does. ???

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.

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.

This does not "feel" like a bug in Paint.NET. I'm closing this thread.
