As far as I know we only have a single BMP obsessed Windows user in this NG. So you've never run into a situation before, where a tool doesn't support the entire spectrum of file formats ? Fortunately for me, no. For Mac users we have a very neat piece of software, “Graphic Converter” which pretty much does that job. It can dig up some pretty obscure file formats. https://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/ Otherwise Adobe CC, and some third party plug-ins cover my photo editing needs. I have the situation where Corel Photo Paint (CPT) images cannot be read by Corel Paint Shop Pro (PSPImage) or by Photoshop. I know of no software which can read them all. I am sad to report that even Graphic Converter couldn’t be bothered with Corel Photo Paint. https://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/key-features/import-and-export-formats/ ...and if Corel couldn’t bother to have compatibility between their own apps, it tells you all you need to know about Corel, and CPT. LR does not read all of my PSD files. does that mean your statement applies to Adobe? Which of your PSD files does LR not read? The common denominator is some large old files that I saved with PS6. There are about 150 of them. I removed the cross postings. I use PSD, PSB, and TIFF, layered, and not, interchangeably between PS CC, and LR C CC without issue. So in my case, my statement above does not apply to Adobe. -- PeterN |

I know. As far as I know we only have a single BMP obsessed Windows user in this NG. yep, and apparently not the only one. Haw! The only one is not the only one. Would you like to reconsider? reread it one more time, this time very slowly. You shouldn't have put the 'yep' at the beginning of your answer. That way you were confirming that "we only have a single BMP obsessed Windows user in this NG." comprehension fail. You explain it then. The technical term is 'parse'. that explains why. english is not source code that is parsed. Hysterical laughter! I was taught to parse sentences in English 75 years ago. I expect you think it is a technical term applying only to computer languages. you are incapable of understanding context. Especially yours. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I said PS6. many people say ps6 when they actually mean cs6. that's why i asked for clarification. Thank you, i know that's what I have to do. Open the file and save. i said resave it *with* *a* *preview*. simply re-saving it may not be sufficient, depending on configuration. in preferences, check that it's set to always save a preview, versus never or ask when saving. http://tothepc.com/pic/photoshop-faster-settings-1.png you might also see this, depending on settings: https://support.apple.com/library/co...are/images/en_ US/proapps/aperture/aperture_photoshop_max.png |
