Paint Shop Pro file format plugin for Photoshop

The plugin adds the ability to open and save Paint Shop Pro 5-9 format files. Please contact the author with bug reports, comments or suggestions.

Should work with all versions of Photoshop on Windows and Macintosh.

Features

reads and writes PSP files, versions 5-9 (.PSP, .JSL, .PFR, .TUB)
uncompressed, RLE and LZ77 compression formats
1, 4, 8 and 24 bit depths (Bitmap, Grey Scale, Indexed and RGB modes)
layer transparency
alpha channels

Limitations

The Photoshop plugin interface only allows access to a single layer, so of PSP files of multiple layers, only one image layer will be read or saved (if there is more than one image layer, you will be asked to choose one).

Only raster layers are supported; other layer types are ignored.

Because each image channel is processed in its entirety (rather than in pieces), Photoshop may run out of memory using this plugin with very large images.
