Trouble report 854

Export to Photoshop sometimes creates a bad file

Versions affected

5.0 all Editions

Description

Sometimes when you export a 24-bit image to Photoshop (PSD) format, the created file is bad.  Photoshop does not recognize it as a value file.

This happens if you export a 24-bit image after selecting Save 48-bit pixels (16 bits per color channel) on the PSD settings dialog box.  This option should be ignored for 24-bit images, but instead it causes the exported file to be bad.
