[Scribus] Opening document created in Photoshop in Scribus

[unknown]

Hello,



I am trying to open an already existing graphic photoshop file in scribus
for Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 and it is not working.



I had to install ghostscript and activate it.

I installed GSview plus Gimp and open the document and resaved it as a PS
file with a different name

I open the newly created file and the document size measurements appear but
no graphics.



Any suggestions,



iloadmin

Visit bugs.scribus.net, submit a bug and attach the file. We can't fix without
real examples. Please also attach a screenshot of it in PhotoShop so we know
what you are seeing there too.

thanks
Craig

What version of Photoshop ?

Scribus has *excellent* support for PSD saved to version 6 or older.

I created the file in Quark 4.1x saved it as an eps file. Tried to open it
in Scribus 1.3.3.3 for windows and Ubuntu linux. The eps file begins to
open it reaches 2 blue bars @33% and I receive fatal error. The importing
file test.eps failed.

I converted the eps file to sla and the document open blank.

I open the file in Photoshop 6 and save it as a psd file. I try to open
this file in Scribus and I receive the same error.

I open the file in CS2 9.0.1 (Photoshop) and save it as a psd file. I try to
open this file in Scribus the converting bar reaches 90% and I receive one
image (which is a tiff file) failed and then a screen pops ups in scribus an
ask if I want to save as a eps(converted) sla file. I give it a new name
save it. The box opens with a big X in the middle.

error. The importing file test.eps failed.

What was the error message ? If you run Scribus from the console on
Ubuntu this should give us some hints.

This is the odd part, I rarely see PS 6 files fail on import. Can you
file a bug on http://scribus.net and upload these ? If you wish to
keep the files private, you can mark the bug private and only
developers can see the bug and files.

Also, one thing which improved EPS import is to have the latest
Ghostscript.

Are you *SURE* you saved it as a PSD file? It sounds like you changed
the file extension from .eps to .psd, but did not tell Photoshop to
actually save as a PSD instead of EPS. Photoshop doesn't care what the
file extension is, you need to use the file type pulldown to set what
kind of file to save as.

Yes I am sure. I know about pull-down menus for save as a psd and a host of other options!

Thanks!

No worries. I only asked because your comment that:

"then a screen pops ups in scribus an
ask if I want to save as a eps(converted) sla file"

... should only happen when Scribus has opened an EPS as a new document,
AFAIK. In fact, I didn't think the current code even supported opening a
PSD like that (rather than placing it on an image frame in an existing
document). Your initial mention of the need to install GhostScript to
work with these psd files also suggested they were really EPS files.

Anyway, if that possibility is excluded, it's hard to say what's going
on without access to the problem file.
