RE: Re: [Nuke-users] Layered photoshop files and nuke
I wrote psdReader which reads 16 and 32 bits psd files with layers and masks. It's available on Nukepedia. I will update it for 6.3 soon (unfortunately I didn't have time to do it so far...). In general: there is not a bug or weirdness actually. Information about layers and masks in 16bit and newer psd files are intentionally hidden to avoid compatibility issues with software, which can't parse it correctly. 8bit psd files uses RLE compression for layers while 16 and 32 bit uses zip compression with custom prediction algorithms (sometimes zip without prediction, and sometimes- in case of small files- without compression at all). Remember that psd is closed, constantly evolving format so It's kind of moving target :) Best W dniu 2011-10-26 09:41:22 użytkownik Peter Pearson pe...@thefoundry.co.uk napisał: On 26/10/11 08:34, Farhad Mohasseb wrote: Hey Randy that plugin is a really great replacement until the 16bit psd gets added.

Re: [Nuke-users] Layered photoshop files and nuke
Only works on 8bit psd files and layer methods like softlight, screen, hardlight...etc. and also layer masks do not transfer over. There are work arounds for both of those issues but not the fact that you'll have to down the image color to 8bit. Be a nice feature if foundry could add a 16bit psd reader as 8bit doesn't work well for film. =o( Everything else is more or less just like a exr.

Re: [Nuke-users] Layered photoshop files and nuke
when it loads you can have the flattened version or you can choose what layer the read uses. To do multi layer you have to have a read for each layer you want to work on.

Re: [Nuke-users] Layered photoshop files and nuke
Randy, the hard part with that script is getting the correct associated alpha and layer combination. If your going to do this, then really you might as well just do an uncompressed 32bit TIFF for the wanted layers and save a headache but it be nice if there was a full range psd reader in nuke... I just looked and don't see anything on foundry feature request. Is there any reasons why the header for the 8bit differs than the 16bit for the psd?
