I am importing a PSD file (with import settings set [b]NOT[/b] to "Use flat
composite image") and yet all I can see is a single layer containing a bitmap.
The author can see a full set of layers in Photoshop.

I know that some paths/vectors etc. can get converted to bitmaps on import -
but is there any reason why the whole file should get converted to single
bitmap? Is there a setting in Photoshop that could cause this?

A 17 MB psd file becomes a 570GB fireworks PNG file.

thanks for any insights.

What version of Fw are you using?
From: gwesys on 29 Jan 2008 04:45
I am using Fireworks CS3.

This morning (as an experiment) I downloaded a trial copy of photoshop (not at
all intuitive to use unlike Fireworks!!) and did some experimentation.

I eventually found that the PSD file I was looking at was rgb/16 - when I
switched this to rgb/8 and saved the file it opened up perfectly in Fireworks.

Is this a known limitation of Fireworks?

Good thinking on the PS trial dl to test.

Yes Fw can only handle the 8-bit Mode.

Thanks Darrell.

p.s. There was no mention of this in any of the help files I looked at or in my searches online.
