I do not want to be rude and I know that is not polite to answer a question with other questions but anyway, forgive my curiosity please, some questions pops up in my mind: * why ask for support of a commercial product here? * Are we in any way connected with this proprietary software? * Should we? * Why should we support any proprietary software for free (as in beer) when they gain the real money? * did you ask for support to the proprietary software first? * if you asked for support first did they answer you and what? I understand that all started with buying that printer and because of that you are now involvend involuntary in all this driver mess but I really think that: * IMHO creating some "driver" that needs some software support installed on all graphics softwares is all but a great idea * you really should contact the printer and/or the driver software authors for this kind of support and specifically ask for GIMP support since I doubt that that kind of support comes from the various graphic software authors this is my not very humble opinion and it is _not_ connected with any GIMP devs opinion and sorry if I seem to be rude anyway but this was not my intention.

There are many ways to overcome this: 1) Have you tried to save it in an older version of photoshop file (if possible) with something like "file->save as" (I do not know photoshop...)? 2) Why not save it in a layered format like tiff? 3) At least you can always copy & past layer by layer into GIMP.

I reckon I was too concise. I meant that that stress upon the money does not tell you the whole story. Free is about freedom. Often developers asked no money but just programming help. IMHO money (usually) just leads to diverge projects from the useful to the marketing / popular / fashion requests and that seriously hurts free projects like GIMP. There is a reason why althought so few the free developers produce such high quality software: they have no bosses. They decide on their own. This behaviour is not error free but usually produce far more efficient, better and error free code. Compare the results with so many 24h programmers Adobe Photoshop sports and how trementulsy efficients are GIMP devs. I know that GIMP devs are on average smarter than Adobe ones ;-) but that does not explain this fact. I believe freedom is "smarter" and the only way to keep it "smart" is staying away from money. You COULD introduce money but you have to do it without constrains, and IMHO this is a very difficoult thing to do. I myself have no idea on how it could be done.

They see some new command, they find it useful for getting theirs job done, so they comes here and ask for it in GIMP. That is true even in the other direction, see for instance the liquid rescale plugin that arrived to Photoshop _after_ GIMP. And the reason is that Photoshop is the only real photo retouching product that can be compared to GIMP, for functions and userbase. So GIMP devs, hip hip hooray, go on the great job!
