KCAI CL-3x0 paintkit query

Ich versuche, einige Repaints für den Ken Carson CL-350 (Jet Story) zu machen, aber das mit dem Modell gelieferte Paint-Kit öffnet sich nicht richtig in meinem Grafikprogramm. Das Kit wurde als PSD gespeichert und ich verwende PSP X8, und keine der Ebenenfunktionen ist verfügbar, obwohl die Ebenen sichtbar und korrekt eingerichtet sind. Ich habe es als PSPIMAGE gespeichert und wieder geöffnet, und die Ebenen sind immer noch ein Problem, da ich keine neuen erstellen kann. Der Speichervorgang sagt mir, dass die Ebenen alle in Rasterebenen umgewandelt werden, was nutzlos ist, da der Hintergrund und die Details alle kombiniert werden und nicht richtig gemalt werden können.

Gibt es ein kompatibleres Paintkit, oder muss ich jede Ebene/Gruppe löschen, die Ergebnisse speichern und dann alle Ebenen so neu erstellen, dass die PSP sie verstehen kann - oder wird das auch nicht funktionieren?!

Ich mache das gerne, wenn es funktioniert, aber das P/K hat ein paar hundert Schichten!

I'm trying to make some repaints for the Ken Carson CL-350 (Jet Story) but the paint kit that comes with the model is not opening properly in my graphics program. The kit was saved as PSD and I'm using PSP X8, and none of the layers functionality is available even though the layers are visible and correctly set up. I've saved it as PSPIMAGE and reopened it, and the layers are still a problem, since I can't make new ones. The save operation tells me that the layers will all be converted into raster layers, which is useless since the background and the details are all combined and can't be painted properly.

Is there a more compatible paintkit around, or will I need to delete every layer/group, save the results, and then remake all the layers in a way that PSP can understand - or will that also not end up working?!

I'm happy to do that if it'll work, but the p/k has a few hundred layers!

Many thanks, Greg, I have the file.

I'll open it in PSP X8 and see what I have. Hopefully it'll allow me to get something done!

There seem to be layers for everything, even the chrome bezels around pitots, etc are separated out. The main problem is that PSP X8 has all the layers menu items grayed out, so there's evidently something in there that has stopped PSP from seeing them as layers despite the hierarchy of layers being visible in the program. Hopefully whatever your Photoshop Elements did when dropping unsupported layers will be enough to allow me in, since I'm not even given the option to create a new layer or "paste as new layer" etc.

I only wish that Corel's extensive online help also went into why the program might not be able to do things!

The weird thing is that I can load the PSD into PSP and save in a native format, but reopening that PSP "conversion" still has all the layers uneditable and no ability to add layers (which is probably all I want to do anyway). Hopefully Photoshop might have done something different to open it up more.

Thanks for the "conversion", I'll get back later today (UK-time) and let you know how it went.
