Need some help with converting a Photoshop file to Paint Shop Pro

[Captain Kurt]

This is Take53084's Photoshop file with CFS2 lettering from his CFS2Wite package. It's for Photoshop but I can't open it with my Paint Shop Pro program. Is there a way to convert it, or is there someone who can do it?

I just did it for you... no real problem... PSP 12 opens PSDs ... what primitive PSP are you using.. lol..
At any rate, if you give an email address or anyway to convey the file to you... glad to be of service

I don't know how long you have been working with PSP... but copying each layer as a file is a waste of time... all you need to do is just open the file take the layer you want... copy it and paste it anywhere you want... saves disc space and work...
I have been working with PSP since before it was taken by Corel... check my aeronautical illustration work at my site... all done with early versions of PSP

Captain Kurt,

I am running PSP 9 and I could convert the file.
Here it is


Cheers

Thank you Achim, but it came through as a merged image only, no layers. I am using PSP 7 and it won't even open for me. Will PSP 9 convert it with the image layers intact?

Gaucho_59,

Did you get my PM ok? Let me commend your SBD profile. If you did that with PSP, I am impressed.

Thank you very much for your comment on the SBD...
Yes, PSP is much more user friendly than Photoshop and I like the results I get...
btw... I have your file done with all layers intact... I just don't know how to mail it to you...if you give me an email address I can mail direct to... the file is ready for you...
PSP 7 and 9 are sort of "stone age" programs by now... good for beginning work... but such sophisticated results as you can see by the SBD are only possible with the newest versions... as a matter of fact... you can see the difference in quality of my newest profiles vis-a-vis the ones in my site (PSP 7 or 8 then...) The skills are the same (me) but the tool DOES make a difference (though of course, I am more sophisticated in my approach through experience..) Before, I had in mind what I wanted to produce...but the program just was not sophisticated enough...(actually... it probably was... just not as user friendly as today)...
So, give me an email and the PSP file in layers will be in your "hot little hands" in a jiffy...
I DO advise getting the latest PSP... it is less than 100 dollars.. and you can probably download a less than legal copy for nothing in the 'Net...
Glad to be of help anytime (I am a retired Army officer with lots of time...lol)

Hi Gaucho,

That's why I asked if you got my PM - I had included my email addy. I will send it again. Thank you in advance.

Hi Captain Kurt,

PSP 9 opens the file with all layers fully operational.
I' ll try it again and I do hope to make it psp 7 readable.

Cheers

You could try opening it with MW's dxt.bitmap and loading it from there to PSP in the future.

I use PSP8, and it loads them just fine.

Paint.net is a freeware paint program that will load the layer file, and you could save the layers separately from that program. It's also a pretty good program.

I usually use PSP 8, as I really like it's GUI... I used version 7 and it was similarly a great GUI. I tried Photoshop, and it always seemed a bit odd to me. Gimp also seems strange to work with.

Thanks for the thoughts Dick and Shadow Wolf. No luck though. I can get the file open but I can't preserve the separate layers. I tried Paint.net as well with no luck. I think the problem may be that the layers are saved as text in vector layers, not raster layers. Paint.net ignores vector layers.

Thanks to every one who responded. I truly appreciate the support, but I'm going to abandon this effort. In the time I have spent trying different solutions I could have made my own text.

Oh well, can't win 'em all.

Captain Kurt,

Download and install the freeware Gimp program and you can open any Photoshop file and save it in PSP formats with layers intact.

[Captain Kurt]

Thanks Boatz,

I already tried that, but the same problem seems to exist. It will only open as a merged layer, so it may be the same vector vs raster layer issue.
