Using GIMP for reskinning.

[rdayt]

There's a plugin for Paint.net that imports psp files just fine.
Even preserves the layers.
I like the ability to work with and save as a .dds. Saves a lot of back and forth bs.

I think the issue Randy was having was with Vectors in layers.

Personally, I always hated that feature of PSP anyway, so I would set PSP to ONLY work in "anti-alias" mode and disable vector settings in the tool palette.

Also, I own both JASC PSP7 and JASC PSP9 (and I ignore the fact that I also own Corel Paint Shop Pro 2018 and 2020), but I will still only "actually" use PSP7.

Hi Pete,

Did you by any chance pick up the plug-in for PSP7.04 that allows you to work with .dds files? It was released back in 2010 - 2011. I used to have it but lost it due to computer melt downs. The link I had used now is a dead link.

I'm pretty sure I have it... finding it again... is the issue.

Hi Folks,

Disregard.

Seems right... I do seem to recall that PSP could use PhotoShop plugins.

Hmmm... doesn't seem to work though.

Hi Folks,

I found the original NVidia installers - yeah - there was never a PSP version - to the best of my knowledge - only PS that worked in PSP. I don't think my previous post works correctly.

This includes 32 Bit and 64 Bit DDS Plugins:

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the DDS Plugins. I think I messed up the installation and will have to try again. What's thrown me off is the hyphen in Plug-In. PSP7.04 comes with a Plugin folder named as such. Wish me luck!

Hi Peter,

Here is where it is installed on my machine PSP x9:

Z:\Program Files\Corel\Corel PaintShop Pro X9 (64-bit)\PlugIns\EN\dds64.8bi

Happy to help.

Best of luck.

Hi Scott,

I have it installed like this : C:\Program Files (x86)\Jasc Software Inc\Paint Shop Pro 7\Plugins\File Formats ,

and it gives me this error message "This plug-in requires Adobe Photoshop 3.0 or later".
Every once in a while I get, " creates a general protection fault". Am I by any chance missing a .dll file?

If I can't get this working, I'll just struggle through with Gimp .

Hi Peter,

Sorry it didn't work - you were using the 32 bit version - correct?

I used it with Jasc PSP 9.x for many years.

Scott

Hi Scott,

Yes, I use the 32 bit version. I see that Gimp is almost the same as PSP7, all I need to do is figure out where everything is. Thanks for your help. It's much appreciated.

Peter
