Opening a XCF (GIMP) File Format in Photoshop

Is there any way to get photoshop to open a XCF File format? I know I could download GIMP and re-save the file into a PSD but that is a hassle. Are there other options?

There's http://www.xnview.com and http://www.imagemagick.org to name two but image conversion of these advanced formats may require review in the native program. I would not want to risk losing editable layers or effects to a limited conversion tool. I'd want to know what the file is supposed to look like before it is converted to PSD. Not all features translate.

  • Want to open Kodak Photo CD files (.PCD) in Photoshop CS5.  In CS4 i copied file "Photo CD.8BI"  from an older version into the File Format folder.  This does not work with CS5.  Any fix?

    I have several old Kodak Photo CD with PCD image files.  I am now using Photoshop CS5.  Some years ago while using Photoshop CS4 I copied a file:  "Photo CD.8BI" from an older, CS2, version to the Plug-ins/File Format folder of CS4.  This does not appear to work with CS5.  Any fix?

    It can be made to work, but you have to run the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5, and as I recall there's an additional DLL called pcdlib32.dll that's needed from the old installation.

  • Supported file formats in Photoshop CS6

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/photoshop/using/supported-file-formats-photoshop-cs 6

    I am getting all sorts of confusing formats, when I want to save in jpeg, it attaches de suffix .iff,  if I want to place the jpeg suffix to a file, I have to save it as JPEG STEREO...  If I choose from menu window  IFF format, it affixes the .CIN name, so all in all it's screwed up as far as I can tell... and there is no way I have found to fix these.  Please let me know what to do.
    Thank you

  • Nikon D 800 - NEF file format in Photoshop Elements 9?

    Just bought the Nikon D 800.  My photoshop elements 9 does not read the maximum NEF file format (7424x4924) - "wrong file type". Is there a free download for this camera in Elements 9 or do I have to upgrade to Elements 10?

    No, you need to upgrade. Refer to these lists:

  • HT204382 a .flv document could not be opened. The movies file format isn't recognised. Is there additional software available that will enable quicktime to open the movie

    I wanted to view a document with a .flv extention (0.1. Launchpad.flv) on my mac book pro. The following message came up
    The document "o.1. Launchpad.flv " could not be opened.
    The movie's file format could not be recognised
    Is there some  additional software is available that will enable quicktime to open the movie?

    I'd get VLC & try that, although Perian may still work to play within quicktime, but it's no longer being developed.

  • Can't open or save a file in Adobe Photoshop CS3

    Good day!
    I'm having this problem:
    - When I open an image in Photoshop CS3, an open box appears and I have selected my image, but when I click the Open button, an error message comes out that says "could not continue with the open command because two or more files were selected for opening at once". So I clicked the OK button and then I could not click all buttons even Close button. I still have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to close or I have to restart the whole PC.
    - Also when I save, I get the same problem from the one I mentioned above.
    This really is a serious problem. I am a Graphics designer and I really love Photoshop and Adobe products.
    Thanks in advance!

    hit escape next time it happens and see if that clears it...

  • Problems opening up 2011 raw files in current Photoshop.

    I'm having problems opening up some of my older RAW files in Photoshop CS6 and CC. It extends to both dng and cr2 files. They display as a monotone image, with no original color present. I can copy the files to another computer with CS5 and open them up there and they're fine, and I can resave them and they're OK. But this could be a looming problem. What's going on?

    Ha! It's a camera profile thing, I have a profile for my IR converted 5D, and for some reason some of my files had that profile applied. If I opened it in a computer without that profile on it, it opened up fine. Thanks.

  • Opening Canon T2i raw files in CS5 Photoshop

    ACR 5.7 for CS4 opens raw files from my Canon T2i. CS5 Photoshop will not open my files. Did I really just pay $600 to take a step backward in camera compatibility? I have looked through the documentation and on the website and have now been on hold for 25 minutes with Adobe. Should it be this hard to get a simple answer?

    Camera Raw 5.7 (CS4) came out after Camera Raw 6.0 (CS5) was frozen for production.  Nine cameras that are in 5.7 are not in 6.0.  The T2i is on that list. You must wait for the 6.1 upgrade due out 'soon'.   See:

  • Dreamweaver CC 2014 still wants to open jpg, png, gif files with uninstalled Photoshop CC rather than installed Photoshop CC 2014

    Anyone know a fix. It seems that it wants to look for photoshop.exe and still wants to look for the uninstalled Photoshop CC folder.
    1. Yes, I have set the Preferences in Dreamweaver to point to Photoshop CC 2014 as the Primary.
    2. I'm on Windows 7.
    I also had to do this fix to get PSD, IND, AI and EPS files to open in their respective programs: Photoshop: CS6 not default program for jpg and/or jpeg in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
    Ugh, Adobe and their updates.
    Thanks!@

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and a new imac. Could someone tell me where the preference is to have a file open in its original file format. Right now my illustrator eps are opening in preview.

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and a new Imac. Could someone tell me where the preference is to change file to open in original program instead of preview?

    Right-click on one of the files and choose 'get info'. in the info box. Change the 'open with' setting to your correct application. Check the 'always open with' option before OK-ing the change, then click the 'change all' button before closing the info window.

  • When opening .doc from website link, FF appends .docx extention to file & does not open in Word 2010, with incorrect file format error. Pls Help

    I'm using Firefox v12 to open a hyperlink from a website that points to a filename.doc MS Word Document for download.
    We are then asked to open the file with MS Word (Default), which our installed version is MS Word 2010.
    Firefox then renames the file appending a .docx to the filename e.g filename.doc.docx. MS Word 2010 opens with error 'incorrect file format', which is correct as Firefox has renamed it.
    Is there a fix or workaround for this?

    Hello Jscher2000,
    I can save the file and it opens fine.
    It's when I open it directly, Firefox appends the 'docx' extenstion to the filename.
    If I continue to reopen from the web link, Firefox renames the file as so
    mydoc.doc-1.docx
    mydoc.doc-2.docx
    mydoc.doc-3.docx
    I can open a .doc from a Microsoft site ok.
    I have the feeling it's the way the web server is reporting the mime type to Firefox.
    The link in question works fine in Internet Explorer.
    best regards,
    Youngielinux.

  • InDesign Trouble:  CS4 not opening CS3 file formats

  • HT3775 why can i not open the file format MPEG_4(mp4) on my mac with Quick player?

    i can not open the email with file format MPEG_4(mp4) which is one of the contents on the file format listing , supporting by Quick time player but still can not be opened . !!!!!!!!! by the way my quick time player version:10.2(603.6)

    The file extension, .mp4, .wmv, .mov, etc. really has no bearing on whether it can play or not. It should, but that is not the way it works. The file type is merely a wrapper around the media content. That media content can be encoded with lots of different encoding algorithms. If it is encoded with a scheme that Quicktime doesn't understand, then it won't play in Quicktime Player.
    You might try installing the Perian plugin for Quicktime. It might have the codecs necessary to decode the media content.
    Another option is to use Video LAN's VLC. It plays a lot of things.

  • Unable to Open Canon 60D RAW files in PSE9

    Since I got my new camera Canon 60D, I have not been able to open the RAW (CR2) files in my Photoshop Elements 9.  The ones from my previous camera I could. I have installed the Solutions software that came with the camera and have gone to both the Canon and Adobe sites to see if there is something I am missing. Do you have any suggestions for me?
    Message was edited by: Brett N

      Can you check which version of Camera Raw is installed - it needs to be version 6.2 or later for the 60D
    Open Full edit on the menu bar click:
    Help >> About Plug-In >> Camera Raw
    Press Esc to close the pop-up.
