Like magic: changed file type to .data GIMP opens with width, height, offset (which I ignore, because I can’t find a proper header descriptor) and image type. Set height and width to 1024 and 1024, file type to Gray unsigned 16-bit Little Endian, and it opens as desired. Rick * * ** *** *

The cp command didn’t work. No directory exists: /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins does not exist The GIMP app exists in /Applications without a subdirectory. Maybe I need to hunt for a plugins directory… Rick * * ** *** * *

Since I've never played with pds files before, I can't tell you yet. I'll test it on my McGimp build and let you know. On Wed, Dec 2, 2020 at 11:05 PM Rick Kline wrote: > Thanks, Partha, > > That looks like just what I’m looking for, at least as far as file types. > Will the 2.8 version of pds
