In Windows however, not so. BMP is the native image format in that OS. i.e.

Not being a Windows user, I don¹t understand this idea of holding on to the
BMP format when there are much better ways to go.
don't lump all windows users based on the actions of a few.


I know. 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.

cs6 or ps6?

if it's ps6 (which is almost 20 years old), then what's probably the
issue is it lacks a flattened embedded preview, which wasn't enabled by
default.

open the image in photoshop (any version ps6 or later) and resave it
with a preview.

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.

I said PS6. Thank you, i know that's what I have to do. Open the file
and save.

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.

So?

Can you only parse source code?
