Paint.NET PSD Plugin was designed to enable both loading and saving of Photoshop .PSD files.
The plugin can load and save the following features of Photoshop .PSD files with no loss of fidelity:
· RGB images
· Color depth of 8 bits per channel
· Raster images with no use of vector features
· Layers, using the common blend modes
· Optional) RLE compression
In this way, you can use the plugin to exchange work between Paint.NET and other programs. This is especially important since Paint.NET preserves layers only for the default .PDN format – other file formats are flattened on save. The .PSD file format thus offers the best way to preserve layers when moving between different graphics programs.
Requirements:
· Paint.NET
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Fixed a bug in which layer blend modes were not saved when the Paint.NET language is not set to English. Layer blend modes are now preserved on non-English languages as well.
· Malformed PSD files with missing channels can now be loaded in.
· Preserves image resolution, so that physical dimensions will be correct along with pixel dimensions.
· Sets the VersionInfo resource on PSD files to indicate the PSDPlugin version used when saving the file.
· Fixed a race condition in the parallelized loading, causing random load failures on files with lots of tiny layers.
