Hi, I save displacement files but then PS can't find them again. The files are there, I can see them, but not through PS.

Any help, greatly appreciated.

    The files named Bag Displacement are .psb files .

    The files need to be .psd files.

     

    Try opening one of the Bag Displacement.psb files and save it as a .psd file.

      Thanks. I've just opened them and saved as psd. I'll start my job again and see if it works. Thanks again.

      I forgot to add the displacement files need either be flattened before saving as a .psd or saved Maximized psd File compatibility enabled.

      Maximize PSD amd PSB File Compatibilty

      OK, thanks. The folder opens and the other files are there but not the displacement files. Even if I try to change the file type in the seach. When I go out of PS and direct to the folder they're there. 

      I tried the Maximise but still nothing. I'll try a restart.

      The displacement files need to be in the .psd file format.

       

      Can you post a screenshot of what your seeing?

       

      If you have Windows set to Hide Known File Extensions it can be hard to tell at a glance what type of they are when a program won't open them.
