Hello, Gimp 2.0.4 don't open some file .psd made with Photoshop CS Message is in french " Le greffon n'a pas pu ouvrir l'image"
We can't do anything about this unless you specify what's special about this .psd files or attach some of them to this bug.
Hello, Sorry all but my english is not very well, so i try to explan ? I send the file .psd to Michael Natterer, the file was made with psp cs and gimp 2.03. or 2.04 can't open. It was on windows XP SP1 French Thanks all
Created attachment 31645 [details] it is a logo test the file who doesn't work with gimp 2.04 for windows
Created attachment 31646 [details] image of the bug This is the capture image of the bug in gimp
Reopening because the reported has attached the example.
The file fails to open also under Linux.
Well, the file was created with PhotoShop CS. GIMP doesn't have good support for recent versions of PSD, because Adobe has restricted public access to the file format specifications. This is not likely to change unless Adobe changes its policy.
I m not ok with your response "weskaggs@primate.ucdavis.edu" about Photoshop CS, because i have made another test with cs and i create another exemple and gimp open it so ??
Luck in this case. The second .psd probably only uses things that are understood by GIMP, but this doesn't change the problems described in comment #7.
I can open the image with ImageMagick (at work on Windows), so that gives some hope that this bug can be solved. What I can see from the hexdump is that there are some new image resource ID's (0x0424, 0x0425) that are not described in the last Photoshop file format spec (up until 6.0).
