Hi
If i reopen a PSD file with Photoshop and resave it without compability set, the PSD gets 50% (or even more) smaller than with ImageEn.
If i set the Layers to invisible in ImageEn, then the PSD also gets much smaller than with the layers visible, but not as small as with Photoshop (without compability).
Please make an option to not save the merged compability picture to a PSD if i don't need it, as this blows up the PSD extremely and is often not needed anymore at all.
Also it would be really nice if i would be able to link files to a PSD instead of adding a decompressed copy to the file. For example a PNG or a JPG is really small, but if i can't link it to the PSD, then it gets really huge.
Thanks. |

Hi Nigel
Can we have the smaller of both features (not saving a compability bitmap) in a smaller soonish update or is it also a big feature like the (link files to PSDs) and needs a big update in many months?
Would be nice to get that a bit earlier as im using that in a product with hundred thousands of PSDs and it adds a lot of file bloat. |

Hi
To write PSD files without a merged image, you need only comment out the following line in iepsd.pas:
WritePixelData(context, mergedImage, nil, nil, 0, (layers.Count > 0));
This will create a valid (though not backwardly compatible) PSD file.
However, it is not well supported for loading in ImageEn, so we cannot make it an official option at this time.

Hi Nigel
This isn't working.
If i comment out "WritePixelData(context, mergedImage, nil, nil, 0, (layers.Count > 0));" and save the file and try to load it in Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop tells me:
"Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered"
So maybe there needs to be some header info set or something else should be altered also to tell Photoshop that this is a file without a merged compability image.
How to solve this? :-) |

Hi
Unfortunately I do not have PhotoShop here for testing, and the documentation for the PSD format is not particularly clear. Can you email me some compatible and non-compatible images you've saved from Photoshop?
