I open a psd file [made with photoshop 5.5] with this plugin and all work [but it was used for an animated gif and i don't know if it mantain animation data].
all the frame inside psd are visible.
I try also to save it into a new psd and it work, but while i try to open it into photoshop 5.5 an error message appears saying that it isn't compatible with this version of photoshop.
Any idea?
I never had problem with psd, maybe photoshop always save in a compatible mode [i think].
There is a way to say to save in version compatible with older photoshop?

I try to open the psd file saved from paint.net it with photoshop 9 cs and i have the same message.
It seems that the format isn't valid.
Any idea?

Ps. i try to open a psd saved from photoshop and one saved with paint.net with a text editor
Where photoshop use a return cariage, paint.net use a strange character. i have had the same problem in saving file from asp, it was the encoding type [utf-ansi ... i don't remember which is]. this could be the problem

I think you spelled "Gray scale" wrong at the top of the page there, frankb ...

I see my Endogine psd reader has come to good use and has much improved - great!
As Endogine is public domain, you're free to do whatever you want to with my code, but I wouldn't mind being mentioned in there (as you can see that I've done wherever I've borrowed something), especially the classes/files which are virtually unmodified (except for your added copyright notice

)
Thanks!

I can't find source file for this plugin.
But using photoshop i note that isn't possible to mantain data compatible with photoshop.
Photoshop mantain layer effect, layer mask and special information in text layer.
Paint.net doesn't have this information so a psd file made with paint.net cannot mantain this information.
A little problem, until paint.net will implement this feature

The source code is available at the web page. There was a wrong link, which is corrected now.

Excellent! Paint.net needed such a plugin.

I loaded the plugin and now I can open my .psd files (mostly from Photoshop CS) but all the layers except background start out as invisible. I can make them visible of course, but sometimes the graphic artists will have extra layers that shouldn't be visible.

Is this a bug or just something that hasn't been implemented yet?

Thanks for your efforts!
