Hi guys, before filing a bug I wanted to see if I'm the only one having these problems...
Running Krita 2.8.0 x64 on windows 8.1.
If I save a psd file with more than a single layer, my files get all the colours screwed like this:
http://s29.postimg.org/6wyd6jvc7/psd_colours_off.jpg
(above original png, below psd saved in Krita)
since I can't save layered psd files in Krita I tried tiff. Unfortunately the resulted layered tiff files seems to mantain the layers other than the first only when opened in Krita: I tried to open it in both painter x3 and phothosho cs4 but only the first background layer is present. (but since krita open it ok, those layers are ther nonetheless!)

It's a pity, because Krita for what I was able to test now that the cintiq companion has arrived works and performs incredibly well!
Far better than painter.

I have a weird issue since the update to 2.8 version in windows:
If I export from Krita in psd format, the colors go crazy when I open the file again - both in krita and in photoshop. In a test I did I saw that it must be swapping the red and blue channels. The files are RGB and I have tried several combinations with the color settings with no luck.
This does only happen when the file has more than one layer. With one, the colors are as they should.
Although even Krita reads them back with swapped color channels, when I open the file in the reference panel the colors are normal! Weird?

Any ideas on that? Is it a known issue?
The only workaround at the moment is to save in .ora, open them in Gimp and then export to psd.

Original file in Krita:


psd export of the same file: (all colors are on the same layer, file has 2 layers)

I posted the same question on the windows subforum. So it's not only me then...
Do you also have problems exporting a multilayered tiff and opening it correctly on something other than Krita?
(at least you're telling I can export to gimp and convert there if I need a layered file elsewhere, that's good news thanks! )

I can confirm that weird behaviour. I havent noticed simply because I am using either native Krita format for many layers or exporting jpgs or pngs. Ofcourse it should be fixed but I strongly recommend to use native format for storing multilayered files.

Thanks.
Indeed I will use the native file but there could be a time where I need to export or even deliver multi layer psd files to clients.

Hm, I fixed a bug in saving cmyk images with one layer to psd -- multilayer seemed to work fine, though.

There's another topic talking about this:
viewtopic.php?f=139&t=120256

Odysseus-art seems to have nailed the problem or at least part of it in my opinion...

Azzart, I didn't notice that there was already a topic! Did you send a bug report as well?
I havent managed to save a layered tiff or png file. The png are flattened when I open them again, and the tiff saves only the first layer. At least the colors are ok there.

In previous versions, Krita had no problem with multi layered psds, but with one layered! Now it is the opposite.
Apart from saving in ora, there is a workaround for your psd file as well:
Since the file is intact - everything is still there, just the red channel swapped with the blue - you open it in Ps and create a "channel mixer" adjustment layer. In the settings, go to red channel and move the red slider to 0% and the blue to 100%, and the opposite for the blue channel. Now everything that is below the adjustment layer should have the original colors. All you have to do now is to copy the channel mixer layer and merge one instance with every layer of the file. Done! (it is quick and simple, even if it sounds complicated)

Dunno know if it's related to this bug. But PSD was fixed some weeks ago by DmitryK.

I had such issue with PSD saving: http://i.imgur.com/jICXW9l.png
Here is that bug which waas fixed in master and after 2.8 release : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331890

@Boud can it be that @Azzart has old 2.8 version?

Guys, that bug possibly was recently fixed. Can you download latest Krita build and test again?

But i tested only PSD. I did not test Tiff.

I am using latest windows build and problem persists. Unless there was some newer windows release then 2.8.0.2?

Version 2.8.0.2 for me too

It's probably the same bug Mifth refers to, so better not to open another bug report I imagine?

Since we're at it, can I ask how patches on the bugs report work? I guess is something related only to Linux, isn't it?
Forgive me if I sometimes ask silly questions, I'm definitely a noob of the open source world.

My installer says Krita_x64_2.8.0.2, but I'll download it again anyway to see if it still happens...

Is it possible to merge my thread with this so the discussion doesn't get diluted?
Odysseus-art suggestions could be helpful to others... (just tried your channel mixer suggestion and it works perfectly )

There should be a 2.8.1 this week. Patches on bug reports are a developer thing -- if someone outside the regular developer community has a fix, they can attach it to a bug report and the regular developers can then push the patch to the git repo. And then unless people build krita themselves, users have to wait for a release or a test build.

That psd bug will be fixed in 2.8.1. I don't know about the issues with tiff -- tiff is a weird file format, and krita actually supports a bigger chunk of it than other apps. So if photoshop cannot properly open a multilayer tiff file, it's more likely it's a photoshop bug.
