Arcade Art Buy-In Question
« on: January 11, 2008, 04:04:20 pm »
One of the art files is being a real PITA to open.

A\Alpine Ski\Alpine Ski Bezel.psd

About 190MB in size, this file basically chews up all my graphic viewers and editing programs I have. With the exception of GIMP, all my programs hang, generating HUGE swap files. In one script it generated a 5GB swap file. Gimp renders part of what looks like a background image then generates the following error message:

Unable to seek to tile location on disk: Invalid Argument.

Then it repeats the message over 30,500 times (before I realized what the hang up was and killed it).  :dizzy:

The catch is, I don't have Adobe Photoshop, the native program that opens this file.  :banghead:

Can anyone who got in on the buy in confirm if I have a problem with my file or if there's something hokey with it? It'd driving me nuts not being able to generate a thumbnail of this file. It's killing my scripts everytime I hit this file.

You could try downloading a free trial of photoshop over at adobe.com.  I used the photoshop trial version to view some of the artwork, unfortunately my time ran out a while ago.
