converting..

Hi all,

Is it possible to convert PaintShop Pro layered images to layered images usable with Photoshop CS? if so, How?

Regards,

I think so. I can save PSP images in PSD format, but I can't test 'em because I don't have PS.

If either of you post a small (200k or so) sample PSD from PaintShop I'll test it. You should be able to zip and attach the file using the forum attachment software (on the full posting form), since I don't think PSP files can be attached.

I'll see if I can remedy that issue in meantime.

BTW, can PaintShop open PSD? I think the demo I tested could, but I can't recall.

Could someone convert some PSP files for me to PSD files?

Okey-doke - the picture is pretty random but reflects my current interest - the Austro-Hungarian army in 1866. :

They look like wargame miniatures.

And I have added .psp and .pspimage to the upload filter, each with 100k limits.

How are you guys going this?
I haven't found any other way to do it except getting a plugin for Photoshop.

As far as I know, you can only convert 1 layer at a time with this method. You get a window asking you to choose what layer you want. Then you need to reassemble them. Not too much fun. I've found the only good way to do it is by making sure there is a 1 pixel square at the top left of each PSP layer, then opening each PSP layer one at a time and copy/pasting it to a new PSD file.
I don't know of any other way of doing it.
At least this is the only way I've found :P
How else is it done?

I'll make a small, layered .psp and .pspimage and upload them for experimental purposes.

Here's the file - I created it in PSP9, saved it as a .pspimage file, closed it, opened it back up, and saved it as a .psd file. There are four raster layers - a solid black background, a circle, a pentagon, and a star. If y'all can open this I'll make one with vector layers and we can see how that converts.

Ok, the PSD opens fine in Photoshop Elements 2, but the .pspimage is unopenable.
