How to copy a page from a *.PSD file?

[Talker]

Hi!

I'm a user of XnView for Windows program (ver. 2.33).
I've tried to copy a page (layer) from a PSD file and paste it into another graphic editors but always fail.
I've tried to paste an image into Adobe Photoshop and into MS Paint with the same result - I get just a black rectangle.
It is really great that we can see each layer of PSD file with XnView and could you please explain me how to save a layer in a JPG file or just copy and paste it into a graphics editor?

Thanks for the great tool!

Welcome to the forum, Talker (-:

1. Go to Info » About... to find the INI file location.
2. Quit XnView.
3. Open xnview.ini in a text editor. (Windows Notepad will do.)
4. Go to the [Start] section and add the following line:

   Code: Select all

   ClipboardNewMethod=0

5. Save the changes.
6. Restart XnView.

If you want to preserve the transparency of a layer, you have to use Tools » Multipage file » Extract All Into....

I have inserted "ClipboardNewMethod=0" into xnview.ini and now copy /paste works perfect.

Also I was going to report about error when using "Extract All Into..." with some PSD-files, but then I've found this topic: Error saving PNG so I didn't

Thanks a lot
