Sorry for my late reply, I was busy with another project. Now I'm back again with my PSD problem.
My problem seems to be only with PSD files. I can't change any existing TGA Image Source with a PSD file and see the change in real time. I can do it with TGAs, PICs and TIFFs so far but not with PSDs. I have to save the scene and reload it to see the PSD in the realtime viewport and Mental Ray. Or Create a new Image Clip + Source with the PSD file. Am I the only one with this problem? I've tried Luc Eric's suggestion by changing ImageDefinitionType to 1 but nothing changed. What I realized is that as soon as I change a TGA's (PIC or whatever) Image Source with a PSD file, the ImageDefinitionType is locked to 0 (Load in Memory). Even if it seems to have changed, when I open again the Clip PPG again the Image Management value is back to 0 (Load in Memory). This value doesn't change even with a new PSD Image Source or reloading the Scene. I tried this in SI 2011SP2 and 2010. I'll try with 2012 and 2013 later.
