psd import lost layers...

[markw]

Hello bauchladen and welcome to the ArtRage forums
There are several ways that you can open PSD files in ArtRage;
Drag & Drop the file onto ArtRag’s icon in the Dock.
If AR is already open you can Drag & Drop the file into the open AR app window.
With both these methods you will get a window open asking what ArtRage should do next.
Choose the first option ‘Import To New File’.
You can also right click one a PSD file and choose ArtRage as the app you wish to use to open the file.
You could also open a ‘Get Info…’ window for the PSD file and change it’s assigned opening app to always be ArtRage.

Now all of that said, I am wondering about why; File > ‘Import Image File…’ only opened as a flattened single image for you?
That should have worked and left the original individual layers and groups intact.
It works for me here and always has.
Are there any further details you can give that might shed some light on what happened for you?
