Hi all,

I loved my PS 7, just loved it, the transparencies were so easy, yadda yadda. One day out of the blue it stops working. The title screen shows, loading filters, etc etc, but then poof ... nothing.

So I reinstall, reboot, do yoga, pray to mystical elephant gods, and still nothing.

Well, I installed a copy of PS 8 (cs) and it comes up fine. But when I load TGA files that were created with vers 7, they're utterly and uberly hosed (is uberly a word? oh well).

What i mean by hosed, is that things that were never in the original file are now showing, streaked colors, big black blocks, etc.

I can upload those textures to SL and they look just fine with no extra crap in them, so I'm sure it's how PS CS is reading them/displaying them.

Anyone else experienced this or at least have a "we feel your pain syn" story? :confused:

never had that issue. Try opening the files with somethign like ifranview (snag it form download.com) and resaving them.
