Load/Save psd file

Hi, what is the best way to figure out how to load and save .psd files with layers in Windows? Is there C++ sample code available anywhere? I need to load the layers that contain images into memorybuffers, including transparency, and also be able to supply memorybuffers and save them as a layered psd file. I would appreciate any help.

Btw, this will all happen outside of Photoshop. I just want to use the psd format so that users of my program can have the convenience of opening the image files in Photoshop as well.

Open/edit/save psd file in my own developed application

Hi all,
I would like to confirm about:
Do I violate Adboe Macromedia license if I develop a independent desktop application allowing open/edit/save psd file right in my own developed application? (support psd file version is up to CS4).
thanks and regards

No we do not have an open source code for reading .folio files. You can read .folio file in Adobe Content Viewer and in your customer viewer app.

Whenever I load a .PSD file my layers blend.

Hi Guys,
I got this problem with a banner for my client.
He designed a banner for an upcomming event wich has 8 slides. He asked me to animate it in flash, sound easy... Right?
But I encounterd a problem. When I load the .PSD file (File -> Open -> All Files (*.*) -> banner.psd) at the first sight everything seems allright.
But when I start hiding and showing the layers things get messed up.
The top layer takes over parts of the layer underneath it.
Look, this is layer 7.

And the next slide (layer 8) looks just fine.

But whenever I hide layer 7 you see the problem... A part of layer 7 is now in layer 8. And this happend to many other layers also.
(Note, the red part is just my background, layer 8 should have a full red background.)

Anyone could help me please?
I tryd to formulate my problem as good as I could.
Greetings

How to save psd files...

how to save psd files so other can change (with all fonts and Layers)
I need to know how to save everything in the psd so others still can use it.??

Hi,
If you have photoshop and you are working on it and have used layers , fonts , and other things
Then after completing your work, click save and it will open save Box,
make sure the file format in the box should be PSD and then you may save the file and then you can share with any one.
Any one who has Photoshop will be able to open that file and can edit the layers and fonts..

Can't save psd file in CS5 op afp nas

Hello,
When I want to save a psd-file with Photoshop 12.0.2 CS5 on a synology NAS (DSM 3.1-1605) with afp-protecol, the file saves en disappears. It only happened with psd files. Tiff (also in layers), jpg or psb files saves perfectly. Before installing CS4 we had no problem with saving Photoshop psd files in CS4, but we now have the same problems to save psd files in CS4.
Is there a solution?
Thanks!
Percy

Thanks for your response. It's strange that we can store all types of files formats. The only thing that fails is a psd file. Photoshop CS5 also does not mention that it failed. No Error. If you look at the place where your file is saved, you see the same psd appear and then disappear again.
It remains strange that we had not psd saving problems last week. After installing learning CS5 we got these problems with just psd-files.
During a Save command throws Adobe Photoshop CS5 the original file from the server, then a new empty file is written in the same place and it is new Photoshop file is written, so updated. This seems to happen in a single action.
This is what I've found about the saving psd problem:
It seems that Mac OS X's use of "Stream Files" a major role in this issue, these are also called Named Streams mentioned. Mac OS X SMB gebuikt Stream Files on shared volumes. During a save operation (save) indicates the server, a NAS or SAN wrong message back to the computer that the Photoshop file is saved causing an adverse reaction occurs, and Photoshop "thinks"that it failed to save the file. Depending on the action response from the server, NAS or SAN in the client error messages may vary.
Various Stream Files used during a preservation action, including AFP_Resource. Thus, various files are kept:
• Photoshopfile.psd
• Photoshopfile.psd:AFP_resource
• ._Photoshopfile.psd
The back reaction is a response of "Photoshopfile.psd: AFP_resource" and not "Photoshopfile.psd. The server, SAN or NAS not see the Stream Files and give a response back on the newly saved file.
But I do not look where the problem lies. I would like to find a good solution. Thanks!

How do I save PSD files created in windows so MAC users can open and work

I have been designing photoshop files for sale to photographers online and all of my work has been created in a windows 7 system. I had a photographer contact me saying that the PSD was trouble to open and that the fonts would not work on his MAC computer.
Can someone supply me with information on creating/saving windows PSD files so that a MAC user can open them and also use the fonts I supply with the files.
The files I create are multilayered PSD's and contain fonts for windows PC use and I don't want to exclude MAC users from utilizing my work.
Any help appriciated.
Bqwhitten

Just save. There is no difference in files between platforms.
There are some Windows-centric font formats that aren't portable, by any OpenType or TrueType font will be portable between platforms.

Photoshop CS3 can't save .PSD files

I have Windows XP, Adobe Flash 10.2 ..
I can save all file types two weeks ago, and then one day I just can't. I didn't install/delete anything on my computer before that, it just happened all of a sudden. Scanned for viruses/malware, none found.
PROBLEMS:
1) When I save for web images, I get: "Some of the specified files already exists in the target location. The files marked below will be replaced:", though it IS a new & different file/filename. So I click "replace" and I get this: "Adobe Save for Web Error: Could not write the file. The file was not found". Then I click OK, and Cancel. I checked and nothing was saved except TMP54ee.tmp which is 0bytes.
2) When I save as... .psd, I get: "Could not save as C:\Name\filename.psd because the filename was not valid". I checked, just some gibberish that is TMP54ee.tmp AND ~ps8455.tmp (both 0bytes) are saved.
So I looked online for answers. Trashed settings, uninstalled/reinstalled PS CS3. Nothing worked, so I looked for more. Finally got one solution that worked: Edit > Preferences > File Handling > Uncheck Enable Version Cue. It kinda solved just Problem 1, for web images: KINDA because I get the same error messages on problem 1, but when I check the folder, PNG file IS saved (though filename.png.tmp and TMP34ee.tmp are still saved along that).
*** When I close PS CS3 and open it, sometimes Enable Version Cue is ~magically~ checked again and I have to uncheck it, sometimes it's good. So I can live with that as long as my PNG & JPGs can be saved.
PROBLEM #2 is still unsolved, & I'm still desperate for answers. Can anyone help me? Like I said, I've tried trashing the settings, uninstall/reinstall, updated Flash, nothing worked. And I can save PSDs until two weeks ago.
Help me please...

That sounds like something outside of Photoshop is interfereing with file saving.
None of what you describe should be possible with a clean copy of Photoshop.
But bad anti-virus, disk compression utilities, etc. could cause behaviors like that.

Can't save PSD file, over 2GB... HELP

I can't Save my PSD file because an error message appears saying can't save file, exceeds 2GB.
If anyone can help me it will be much appreciated!
Thanks

Hello, select Large document format (PSB) or TIFF (but DO REMEMBER TO SAVE WITH LAYERS!

Lightroom saves PSD files larger than needed ? ?

Keep in mind that I am fitting into a large corperate work flow so certain things can not be changed. Any hep much apreciated!!
Software:
LR5
PS CC
Work flow and how problem presents it self:
-A Jpeg is supplied to be clearcut
-Jpeg is imported into LR
- "edit in CS5"
- Exported as a Photoshop copy (flattend and one layer needed for output)
          - 8 bit
- File size is 35MB
- Open in PS do NOTHING but save as (do not change image size / resolution / etc)
- File size is now 22MB
Why is the LR version of the file larger? How can I change this?
This Seems trivial but due to the way files are shared etc we are VERY consiouse of file size.
We cant use TIFF, PNG, DNG etc due to problems with different versions of software etc
Thanks all

Hi 99 Jon,
Thanks for the input.
I would call my self a advanced LR user, and know the workflow and ins and outs of LR catalogs very well. though
I just did a quick test to count out what you have sugested though.
1)Start with a PSD that has been imported into LR
2) Export it as a PSD copy and DO NOT add it back to the catalog on export
3) Export a second copy of the file and DO add it back into the catalog on export
4) Check the file sizes - both files are exactly the same size (43MB)
          This would show that having it as part of a catalog does not effect the file size
          . . . . .. but just to check . . . .
5) Open both files in PS and save as WITHG EXACTLY THE SAME SETTINGS USED ON EXPORT
6) check file size (both are now 23.3MB)
7) Import both of these files into a catalog and add meta data etc
8) Check files size (both still 23.3MB
So I would say that fairly well proves that it is not a catalog/meta data issue.
But to add to that . . . .
When have you EVER seen a xmp / side car file that is anywhere near 20mb? ? ? ?
Thanks a bunch for the idea though! I thought you were onto something for a while there hahahaah

How to load/save a file in the WEB-INF?

how can i load and save files in the WEB-INF directory using servlet?

This doesn't save files. And in order to reuseability and maintainability, I'd rather use java.io and passing the path/filename around in File object.
You can retrieve the absolute path for "/WEB-INF" byString absoluteWebInfPath = getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF");Then you can use that to read/write files.
File file = new File(absoluteWebInfPath, "filename.ext");
InputStream input = FileUtil.read(file);
FileUtil.write(file, input);and so on.

Error Msg Help Can't Save PSD Files

Could not save file.psd because you do not have the necessary access privileges.
I own PS4 and every plugin in the system. Can't anyone help me out?
Mac OS 10.6 PS4 with latest updates and all I was doing was working a picture as normal and tried to save and quit and it wouldn't let me bummmer lost everything I did!!!!
Mike K

System Maintenance (repairing permissions ((with Disc Utility in the Utilities-Folder or the free Onyx http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html)), purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, trashing Caches, etc.) might help.
Please note that I wrote »might«.

I cannnot save psd file which exceed 2GB.

Can somebody help me?

No, because as the documentation states, PSD is limited to 2 GB.
You can save as PSB (Large document format) up to 16 exabytes or so.

PSD files don't up-load because "maximum compatability" issues

I have a load of PSD files that don't load because they were saved in previous versions of PS when maximum compatability did not exist in preferences. The problem is they are mixed in with other files and Light Room does not identify the specific files.
When I eventually do locate one the fix is easy enough to resave with this setting.
Currently I am sorting all files by type, sorting out the PSD files, running an action to correct then upload. Really takes the fun out of this.
Any suggestions?

Hi Gaspar,
Are you using a preloader for the project? If so, the default
one in Captivate waits for 60% of the project to load before
playing. Perhaps try to add the preloader if you aren't using one,
or remove it if you are to see if that makes a difference. In
Captivate 3, you can change this option in Preferences -->
Project --> Start and End --> Loading Screen.
Good luck,
David
Edit: I just tried this too and got the same results when
publishing with all versions of Flash - I was a little surprised to
see it even with Flash 7 exports, because Captivate has let me
embed .swf animations into a single .swf project file using Flash
7. I'm guessing that whatever Flash "engine" Captivate uses to
create its own FMV .swfs must be Flash 8 or 9. That would be
something that would be nice to adjust - especially because of the
lack of the ability to merge .swf files into one file. I guess I'll
send a feature request again...

PSE 7: Texture folder has JPG and PSD files?

I noticed there are both file types in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7\Presets\Textures\

When I go to texture > texturizer and choose load, only PSD files are setup to load. Why are some of these in jpg format and PSD? Is there a feature that uses these jpgs, if so, where is it? For example, what feature uses the textures Blue Pastels.jpg and Burnt Red Pastel Paper.jpg?
Thanks, Tony

No, filter uses the jpgs AFAIK. They are in Photoshop too. They are seamless so you could use them as is and define them as patterns; then again you can also use the PSD files to make patterns. The grass jpg is a good one to turn into a pattern.
If you want to use them with the filters that require PSD files just save a copy of each in PSD file format. You might also think about making them black and white so you can tinker with how they will apply the texture. (White is high; black is low; 50% gray is neutral. Colors act as shades of gray so black and white might help you better predict what the result will be.)
