Suggestion - PSD conversion

Hi

ImageMagick and Netpbm can both handle tiff files, but neither of them mention psd in the documentation I searched. Since psd is PhotoShop's default file extension, and isn't actually intended to be viewed on a web browser it might be difficult to have an online program like Gallery set to handle files with the .psd extension.

You can still use the tif (tiff) extension, but I hate to think how much webspace you'd take up after awhile. As well, the wait time for viewing the image online would be slow even with adsl. I burn all my original digital images to CD - are you thinking of storing the raw images so they can be printed through a photo service like Shutterfly or is there another reason?

...just call me curious...

I've decided to abandon my PSD support attempt. But if you use the patch below, it should allow you to upload PSD, and get JPG thumbnails.<!-- BBCode Start --><TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE>

The above code is a patch file. On Unix/Linux, save it as psd.patch and then
patch -p0 <psd.patch

However, it's just a hint of how to start - you'll need to do more work. I've abandoned it.

If you want to discuss this further, we should do it in the customization forum.

I'm not supporting this.

But you have to remove all the blank lines that were inserted when it was uploaded.

Pulver, I also have the same problem that you have. I have a large database of images stored in many different kinds of formats. I want Gallery to display a .gif of them then when they are clicked on to have a link to the original format. Could you let me know the process you took to get this to work.

Thanks

Do you want to convert PSD file into what format?
Try to use Adobe, I think Adobe Photoshop supports all image format.
